Zervynos is an ethnographic village in the Varėna district, Lithuania. It is situated within the territory of the Dzūkija National Park near the Ūla River. The Saint Petersburg–Warsaw Railway runs through this village. Zervynos has 48 homesteads; 8 homesteads and 32 separate buildings are officially declared ethnographic monuments.[2] The village was among the sites short-listed for nomination for the UNESCO World Heritage Site.[3] Though the village is isolated by the Dainava Forest, it is a busy place during summer as tourists kayaking in the Ūla River pass through the settlement.[4]

Zervynos village is located c. 17 kilometres (11 mi) from Varėna, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Marcinkonys, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from Pauosupė (the nearest settlement).
