Why Aukštaitija National Park matters
If you want to see rural Lithuania, this is the place. Dozens of lakes lie among pine forests, linked by streams and canoe routes, and traditional wooden villages still stand in the park. Paths and boats let you move at a slow pace, and there is a beekeeping tradition and a museum to explore. Plan a day or an overnight stay.
Talking points
- Lakes and forests are linked by canoe routes and walking paths.
- Traditional villages with wooden houses survive within the park.
