Uostadvaris Lighthouse on the Atmata bank of Rusnė Island is an 18 m octagonal red-brick tower built in 1873-1876, with 48 spiral steps and a viewing platform. Today it matters not for navigation but for the technical heritage of the Nemunas Delta and Pakalnė polders.

Uostadvaris Water-Lifting Station on the Vilkinė bank is the first station of its kind in Lithuania (1907) and the oldest hydrotechnical installation on the right bank of the Nemunas Delta; today it houses the Šilutė Polder Museum.

Ventė Cape is one of Lithuania's strongest bird-migration places: a narrow Curonian Lagoon peninsula with an ornithological station, bird traps, museum, and a lighthouse considered a technical monument.

Žemaičių Alkas in Šventoji is Lithuania's only reconstructed pagan sacred site with a paleoastronomical observatory: in 1998, twelve oak posts were erected on a coastal dune, echoing the fourteenth- and fifteenth-century sky-observation system investigated on Palanga's Birutė Hill.
