"Trakai Park lies in the eastern part of the Lithuanian Republic, 25 km
to the west of the capital city, Vilnius. Trakai Park stands in the
Dzukija Upland area of the Baltic uplands at a height of 102-228 m above
sea level. It covers an area of wooded lake land in eastern Dzukija,
which is centred on the historical town of Trakai.
Trakai Park was founded in 1991 by the Lithuanian Restoration Seimas in
order to preserve cultural sites of Lithuanian historical statehood
along with their genuine natural environs. In this unique and compact
ensemble of natural and cultural heritage, which reflects important
periods and events in the history of Lithuania and eastern Europe as a
whole, we can see a beautifully preserved cultural landscape centred on
an historic town and castles which are nestled in lake land..." -http://whc.unesco.org
