and had decided to stay here. After his death
the widowed wife invited some Franciscan
monks, who built a church and a monastery
there. Just 50 km away from the Norviliškės
Castle is the Lithuanian–Belorussian border
which divides Norviliškės village into two
parts.
For the return trip you can either come the
whole way back using the same trail or ride
to Geležiai until you see a road turning to the
right via Borovka forest. On your way see the
Barrows of Reistinės and Šilinės.
The second trail also starts in Poškonys and
continues along exactly the same trail as the
first one until the village of Grybiškės. If you
choose this route, take the turn to Grybiškės
village. When you cover the field road, you will
get into the forest and, having ridden a few
hundred metres, on your right you will see the
Rimašiai stone collection. It consists of boulders
that were collected from fields during the
melioration works and brought here into one
pile.
In the village of Rimašiai get to the other
side of the river Gauja, turn left and ride 2
kilometres on the main road until Bėčionys
village. There are two more turns to the right
and you find yourself by the Bėčionys Mound
– the only mound on the whole trail.
