National Park of Aukštaitija 24 In the mysterious thickness of Labanoras 64. Cycling route in the National Park of Aukštaitija DISTANCE................ 70 km DURATION............... 2 days asphalted roads, gravelled roads, SURFACE................... forest roads COMPLEXITY........... easy The route of the National Park of Aukštaitija is not complex, you could easily manage it in one day - but since the trail is rich in interesting sites, it is worth devoting two days for the journey. Start off in Palūšė, famous for the wooden church built in the mid 18th century. The only instrument employed in building it was an axe. The bicycle route, by which stand wooden sculptures, leads along the Lūšiai lake, through the village of Meironys famous for the still existing interesting tradition of floating cows across the lake. In Puziniškis village, on the banks of Asalnai lake, visit the old Puziniškis Oak, standing next to the lake for a few hundred years. The road winds further for 13 kilometres to Ginučiai between the lakes of Alksnaitis, Linkmenas and Ūkojas, through the ethnographic village of Salos. On the way you will be met by the beautiful hill of Ladakalnis, which is 175 metres above sea level and which opens up a view of 6 lakes on days with a clear sky. In Ginučiai see the water mill, which still contains equipment from the 19th century. It houses a museum and a snack-bar. Passing by Almajas lake on your right, the route turns to Stripeikiai. On the way you can digress from the route and go to the Šiliniškės observation tower. Climb the 60 metre high tower which opens up splendid, majestic views of the forests encircled by the lakes of Pakasas and Ūkojas. Getting to the observation platform is allowed from June 1 to August 31, on Wednesdays – Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Catering Resort house and bar “Septyni ežerai” www.lakes.lt Palūšė, Ignalina dstr.
