There are more than 200 lakes in the Ignalina lake district, and there are as many as eight of them surrounding the city itself. We invite you to take a walk around the most mysterious lake in the Ignalina region – Ilgis. The secret of this lake lies at its bottom, where a grove and underwater verdure are hidden. The most impressive is the White Spring, which is 2 m in diameter and about 3–3.5 m long. And what can we say about the legendary Budrys Castle, which is said to have stood where Lake Ilgis is, and next to it is the source of Lina’s tears.
