Grybaulia

Grybaulia is a small village in Dzūkija National Park in Lithuania.

The village is best known for its extensive fish ponds, which, surrounded by boreal forests provide breeding, feeding and wintering habitats for a number of bird species.

The name Grybaulia comes from a word Lithuanian: grybas 'a mushroom' with a Slavic prefix meaning 'a place of [abundant] mushrooms'.

During the Interwar period current Grybaulia village was made from two parts called Kanalai ('canals') and Baubliai (from a personal name Baublys which correspondingly comes from a bird name 'bittern').
