The Punia pinewood is curved by a 19 km winding of the Nemunas River. The highest pine in Lithuania grows there, and centuries-old trees of the oak alley are granted names of Lithuania's grand dukes. The partisan headquarters bunker of the 'Dainava' district was not far from there. There is a sculpture park "Žaltės valley" – a spacious forest ground with a pagan altar and priestesses nursing the fire. One can come and see the museum in the Punia forestry, and order an excursion. The Punia pinewood is dependent on the Nemunas Loop Regional Park.
