In the northeast of the city of Ignalina, near the road to Visaginas, there is Lake Ilgis. According to legend, the castle of Ignas and Linas sank at the bottom of the lake, which is why the springs gushing near the lake are called Linas' tears by the locals. One spring boils under water in a respite area near the gravel road Ignalina - Poviliškė. There is a gazebo, a ladder to a verdė (underwater spring), and a campfire. Another spring is hidden on an alder slope near the village of Poviliškė. It is convenient to draw water from this spring in a cup or a small bottle. The water is pure and tasty. An interesting fact is that several verdės also boil at the bottom of Lake Ilgis, which you can admire in this video.
