2 HIKES IN AUKŠTAITIJA LAKES AND MOUNTAINS

Activity tour

Nature awaits us with extraordinary beauty: swamps, marshes, lakes and streams are natural treasures that give charm and variety to any trail. We almost forgot - we will even climb mountains! Ok, these will be mounds, but you will also need to climb them.

We even have a few options for this hike. You can connect to us in Kaunas and Vilnius (we will travel by our transport). On Saturday we will march from Ginučiai settlement to the “capital” of Aukštaitija National Park - Palūšė. We will spend the night near Lake Ūkojis. Dinner, sauna and autumn lake water will help you relax after the hike. The budget for such a trip is EUR 50.

It is possible to join the hikes only on arrival with your own transport with or without accommodation (35 EUR.). (On the first day after the hike we will transport you to your car, on the second day we will go in a circle). The price of one hike is 7 EUR.
