Meižis, Meižio recreation area
A recreation area in Šilinė Forest
Meižis Recreation Area is in Šilinė Forest, Tauragė District. Road 4505 and the Rūgaliai postal orientation help with navigation, but no clear street or house number is given.
Coordinates 55.1882904, 22.3094374 are a representative point. They are not a confirmed vehicle entrance, car park or exact trail gate, so follow local signs on arrival.
A pond, timber footbridge and forest quiet
A narrow dark-water pond, mature pine and birch woods and simple timber shoreline elements define the place. This is an informal woodland stop rather than an urban park or resort beach.
A footbridge and shelter may be present, but facilities can change. A toilet, firewood, accessible path, car park or usable shelter is not guaranteed, so assess equipment and safety on site.
What to know about ticks
A Tauragė District survey in May-June 2026 recorded 4.5 ticks per 100 square metres at the site and classified abundance as moderate. This is a dated sample, not a fixed daily forecast.
Wear covering clothing, use repellent, keep to paths and check skin and clothes afterwards. Children and pets need the same careful inspection.
Tickets, bathing and changing conditions
There is no ticket, booking system or permanent timetable for this recreation area. It is not confirmed as a designated bathing site, so do not assume safe swimming; obey signs and actual conditions.
Before travelling, assess access, water, trail surfaces and facilities against the day’s weather and local signs.
