💚💙 The water spring of Legends – Ignalina 💙💚

💦 To the north of Lake Dringis, in a picturesque place, there is the Medžiukalnis spring. The spring of the spring is about 155 - 160 m above sea level. The table next to the spring states that people knew the source of Medžiukalnis from a long time ago, and a specific vegetation was formed from the microclimate and humidity here. The water from this source is believed to have a lot of positive energy. Thanks to the employees of Aukštaitija National Park, the accesses to the spring are beautifully arranged, paved with field stones, and a wooden path is paved from the road to the spring. Next to it is a gazebo, table, benches, where you can relax in the shade of the trees with the spring water.

💙💚 The Station of the Most Beautiful Churches ➡️ Ignalina 💚💙
In 1745, the owners of the Kazitiškis Manor, the Belikavičiai family, built a wooden church and invited Uniate monks. The monastery and church were closed in 1834, and an Orthodox church was established. Bishop Motiejus Valančius encouraged the parish priest of Salakas to build a chapel in Kazitiškis. It was built between 1860 and 1862 but was closed by the Russian authorities in 1864.

In 1905, priest Jonas Rimkūnas was appointed to Kazitiškis, and he built a rectory from the old church. He set up an altar at one end and began holding services. The current masonry church was built between 1906 and 1908 and was consecrated in 1909 by Bishop Gasparas Cirtautas of Samogitia. In 1920, the church found itself in territory occupied by Poland. A parish was established in 1925. In 1934, the occupying authorities banned the Lithuanian choir from rehearsing. The parish priest Vincas Bobinas (in Kazitiškis since 1928) was sentenced to five years in prison for his Lithuanian activities. The church was renovated in 1938.

The church is neo-Gothic, basilica-style, with two towers and a lower apse. The interior has three naves. The courtyard is enclosed with wooden structures.

💙💚 Meironys Nature Trail 💚💙

The main highlight of the renewed trail is the strikingly distinct terrain. Steep-sided hills form a natural maze of "rollercoasters" that hide small swamps, lakes, and streams. To help visitors navigate through the labyrinth of the hills, directional signs and a tricolor trail marking system guide the way, with three circular routes of varying lengths. Each loop on the nature trail reveals a different natural habitat of the area. The yellow trail, marking the most scenic section of 3.7 km, offers views from two competing hills, each vying to be the tallest as they overlook Lake Lūšiai. The green route, winding through a marshy hollow, extends the walk to 5 km. And with the addition of the blue loop around Lake Tarama, the total trail length reaches 5.5 km.
