Ąžuolynas

Ąžuolynas (literally, "Oak Grove") is a public park in Lithuania's second largest city, Kaunas, in the Žaliakalnis elderate.

The park covers about 84 hectares and is the largest urban stand of mature oaks in Europe.

Those forests were cut down during the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries, and the timber was used in city buildings, bridges, castles, and ships.

A valley in the park is named for the poet Adam Mickiewicz, who rested there during his days as a teacher in Kaunas schools.

The park is used extensively for sports activities of students of the Lithuanian Academy of Physical Education located nearby.
