Ignalina is the easternmost region in Lithuania, washed by hundreds of lakes and surrounded by boundless forests. Travel where the sun rises and discover a different Ignalina – ethnographic villages that remember the past, places of remembrance and tragic post-war events of the countrymen who created independent Lithuania, and century-old manors that have been brought back to life.

The total length of the route is 120 km. Part of the route is on paved roads, part is on gravel roads.

The route passes through the border, so be sure to have identification documents!
