What you can tell about river. It's the biggest in Lithuania and there are really wild elements about. Best of Lithuania. My great-great-great grandfather crossed this on 23/6/1812 as part of Napoleon's Imperial Guard. A great-great-great-uncle did the same thing, but as part of France's 33rd light infantry regiment. They both went into Russia, and they both returned from Moscow in one piece ... but forever changed. I loved it. There are lots of perfect wild camping spots all along the Nemunas. But you have to turn out of the beaten path! And do not start the fire, unless there is a fire pit with proper stones around. 😁 The Neman, Nemunas, Nyoman, Niemen or Memel, a river, rises in Belarus and through Lithuania before draining into the Curonian Lagoon, and then into the Baltic Sea at Klaipėda.

It generally west to Grodno within 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) of the Polish border, north to Kaunas, then westward again to the sea. The largest in Lithuania, and the third-largest in Belarus, it is navigable for most of its length. It starts from two small headwaters merging about 15 kilometers (9 mi) southwest of the town of Uzda – about 55 km (34 mi) southwest of capital city Minsk. Only 17 kilometres (11 mi), an eastward meander, contributes to the Belarus–Lithuania border. Thereafter the includes notable along a minor tectonic fault. Its drainage settled in the late Quaternary to be roughly along the edge of the last glacial sheet so dates to about 25,000 to 22,000 years BC. Its depth varies from 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) in its upper courses to 5 meters (16 ft) in the lower basin.

Its greatest depth is 5 m (16 ft), and at its widest it extends about 500 m (1,600 ft). The Nioman/Nemunas/Neman is a slow river; it at about 1 to 2 m/s (3.3 to 6.6 ft/s). During floods, water discharge can increase up to 11-fold, to more than 6,800 m3/s (240,000 cu ft/s). Severe floods occur on the lower reaches of the about every 12 – 15 years, which sometimes wash out bridges.[3] Neman opposite Kaliningrad Oblast (Russian exclave) The Nioman/Nemunas/Neman is an old river, dating back to the last glacial period. Its valley is now up to 60 meters (200 ft) deep and 5 km (3 mi) broad. It has about 105 first-class tributaries, the largest being the rivers Neris (Viliya) (510 km (320 mi)), Shchara (325 km (202 mi)), and Šešupė (298 km (185 mi)).

The Nemunas in Lithuania drains more than 20,000 rivers and rivulets and covers 72% of Lithuania's territory. The total area of the Nioman/Nemunas/Neman is 98,200 km2 (37,900 sq mi),[2] 34,610 km2 (13,360 sq mi) of which are within Belarus,[2] the Lithuanian portion of this is 46,695 km2 (268 sq mi). Valley of Neman in Grodno Region is the lowest point above sea level in Belarus at 80 to 90 m (260 to 300 ft).[4] River course Nemunas loops Nemunas bend in Liškiava 500 litas banknote featuring Nemunas loops Due to their location, "the Nemunas loops" are often described using the Lithuanian name for the river. In 1992 Nemunas Regional Park was founded. Its goal is to preserve the (Lithuanian: vingis) that the makes in the Punia forest. Near Prienai, the makes a 17-kilometer-long (11 mi) loop (like a teardrop) coming within 1.2 km (3⁄4 mi) of completing the loop. Nemunas along the double bend between Balbieriškis and Birštonas for 48 km (30 mi) and then moves in a northerly direction for only 4.5 km (2+3⁄4 mi). The are not conventional meanders; they follow underlying tectonic structures. The faults are the source of local mineral springs.[5] The area is historically and culturally significant. Its castles served as the first line of defense against forays by the Teutonic knights.
