Visit the most beautiful place created by nobody else but nature
126 lakes and lakelets are scattered in the Aukštaitija National Park.
The biggest lakes are Kretuonas, covering 829 ha, and Dringis, covering 725 ha.
The Tauragnas Lake is the deepest lake not only in the Park, but in Lithuania as well.
The Žeimenis Lake is the deepest in the Park (about 10 km).
The Baluošas Lake is a unique one. It surrounds several islands, where Ilgasalė (near the village of Šuminai) is the most interesting one. In the middle of this island there is a small but a very deep lakelet – the only one lake in the lake in Lithuania. A small stream starts from this lake and flows into Baluošas. This place is extremely popular among lovers of water tourism.
The lakes are interconnected by linkups and rivulets thus forming a kind of lake labyrinth.
All waters of the lakes and rivers of the Park flow into the Žeimena River, which runs from the Aukštaitija National Park down to the Curonian Lagoon. |
