More about Lithuania

Lithuania borders the Baltic Sea in the west, Latvia in the north, Belarus in the east and south-east, and Poland and Russia in the south-west (Kaliningrad region). The country, located in the northwest of the Eastern European Plain, is characterized by relief forms that the Pleistocene inland ice glaciers left behind after their retreat (ground moraines, terminal moraine ranges, numerous lakes, high and low moors). In the central part of the country, at an altitude of 35–90 m above sea level, lies the partly swamped Central Lithuanian plain, which merges into the broad valley of the Memel in a south-westerly direction. The lowlands are bordered in the southeast by the Baltic ridge with terminal moraines, many lakes, wetlands and some breakthrough valleys. The Baltic mountain range reaches the border with Belarusin Aukštojas with 294 m above sea level the highest point in Lithuania. In the west, the Central Lithuanian Plain is bounded by the Schemeiter Heights (Žemaiten highlands), which rise to 234 m above sea level. They gradually drop to the west to a wide coastal strip (sandy beach) accompanied by dunes, which merges in the south into the partly swampy lowlands on the lower Memel. The Lithuanian coast – consistently a compensatory coast – did not allow natural harbors to emerge. The Lithuanian part of the Curonian Lagoon and the Curonian Spit, which has a dune landscape that is unique in Europe, lies in front of the southern section of the coast.

Lithuania lies in the catchment area of ​​the middle and lower Memel; its mouth delta in the Curonian Lagoon is heavily swampy. A dense network of rivers rich in water, of which only a small part is navigable, runs through the country. An important river is the Neris, which flows from the Minsk Heights. The more than 4,000 mostly smaller lakes take up about 1.5% of the country’s area.

Education

The education system was comprehensively reorganized in the early 1990s, and in 1999 the restructuring of the school and university system began. The highest school authority at all levels of education is the Ministry of Education and Science. In Lithuania, there is compulsory education for children aged 6 to 16 years. Around a fifth of all children in a given year attend the one-year preschool before compulsory schooling. The school system is organized on three levels: The lowest level is the four-year primary school, with foreign language teaching being compulsory from grade 4 onwards. The six-year middle school builds on this and provides comprehensive education in grades 5–8 and elective courses in grades 9–10. In the upper secondary school area there are vocational schools, the secondary schools include among others. High school and technical high school. There are 14 public and 9 private universities and 29 colleges (both public and private); The oldest university is Vilnius University (founded in 1579).

Climate

Lithuania has a temperate maritime climate on the coast, but a more continental climate in the interior. The greatest amounts of precipitation fall in summer. The winters are snowy. The long-term mean January temperatures are 1.6 to –3 ° C on the Baltic Sea coast and –2.1 to –6 ° C in the east of the country; the mean temperatures in July are 18 and 19 ° C, respectively. The annual average rainfall is around 700 mm on the coast and 550 mm in the eastern regions.

Vegetation

Lithuania lies in the climatically moderate mixed forest zone; 35% of the territory is occupied by forest areas. Pine forests are predominant on dry sandy soils, while spruce forests with a large proportion of deciduous trees (birches, oaks) are predominant on soils containing more carbonate. In addition to mountain pines, birch trees are also widespread on the Curonian Spit. 17% of the territory are swampy meadows. The bog areas (mostly flat bogs), which at the beginning of the 20th century still occupied 6.5% of the territory, were reduced to around 2.4% due to amelioration.

Nature conservation: The around 200 nature reserves include four strictly protected nature reserves and one biosphere reserve, as well as the Aukštaitija National Park (406 km 2, founded in 1974), the Žemaitija National Park (217 km 2, founded in 1991) and the Dzūkija National Park (585 km 2, founded in 1991), the Trakaik National Park (82 km 2, founded in 1992) and the Curonian Spit National Park (265 km 2, founded in 1991 and UNESCO World Heritage since 2000).
