General presentation
Parc national d’Aukštaitija
A network of lakes, pine forests and traditional villages that are suitable for canoeing and soft roaming.
The discovery of the Aukštaitija National Park is based around the National Park of Aukštaitija, the Church of Palūšė and Ladakalnis. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, the forests, the countryside and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature park
Parc national d’Aukštaitija
Aukštaitija National Park is a country of pines, lakes connected by streams and wood villages. Canoeing, cycling and walking give it very different experiences, from calm waters of Lūšiai to hills that suddenly open over several blue expanses.
Church
Église de Palūšė
The church of Palūšė dominates Lake Lūšiai with its dark wooden silhouette and its separate bell tower. Its traditional construction, renowned without metal nails, gives the place a sober presence, very related to the village, the water and the pines surrounding it.
Place indismissible
Ladakalnis
Ladakalnis is a sacred hill where the lakes of Aukštaitija appear between the forests as flashes of light. The climb remains short, but the summit gives a rare view of the park's geography, with several bodies of water visible at once.
