Legend has it that the monarchs of the Prussian and Russian empires Frederic Wilhelm III (1770-1840) and Alexander I (1777-1825), whose territories met a few kilometres north of here just south of Palanga, came together to discuss international affairs on this very spot in a valley by the Danė river way back in 1802. An exceedingly rare royal occurrence, the event was commemorated as a tribute to the friendship the meeting spawned by the founding of a park which since 1993 has been in the hands of the city's university. Covering almost 10 hectares, the park is comprised of a collection of around 3,000 annual and perennial species organised into several groups as well as large rock garden. The park is located about 3km north along Kretingos and can be walked on a good day in about 30 minutes. A taxi will set you back around 10Lt for a one-way trip.

Admission 4/2Lt.
