   The Tourist Information Centre in Nida: Taikos str. 4. Just find a simple room for 1 night, actually one can enter any homestead and ask the host to let you stay for 1 night. Once this is done, go south to the sand dunes. There is a path leading there, but I actually don't know where it is, as all times I used to go along the lagoon coast. It's more interesting. Though there may be some recent changes. There is a Russian state border, you'll see it, and walk along it to the sea. It may take 1 hour or so. Then, if you have some time, walk north and back to Nida, there is cool forest north of Nida, and there are ancient cemetaries somewhere in that forest. Not like in the 'Pet Sematary“, but sort of that. The town itself you'll see in any case, no need to allot extra time for that.

This is a very narrow section of the spit, just walk and within 5 min you'll see the virgin and empty beach of the sea. Don't tramp the moss, don't shoot the wild boars and herons, and everything will be OK. Then you can walk to Pervalka itself, there is a lighthouse in a small island in the lagoon. It's not visible from any other place. So, it will take ½ of day, and you should find an transport to Juodkrantė with no problem, and hitch-hiking is very common there (just in case).

   "Ignalina" region. One of them warns young men not to go swimming after the midnight, because pixies will drown them or tickle them until death (“Laumių pasaka” by P.Petronis). Several sculptures were inspired by stories about devils. Older people say that one of them lives nearby in Lake
   "Tarama".
4. "Palūšėje įrengtą Pilkapio ekspoziciją" There are 45 ancient burial sites spread in the Aukštaitija National Park. The custom to erect burial mounds in Eastern Lithuania was present from the beginning of the 4th till 12th century. One burial site can have from several to several hundred burial mounds. They are 5-7 m in diameter, but the largest ones are up to 20 m. The mound is surrounded by a ditch or circle of stones. Ashes of the dead or unburned bodies are buried with tools, utensils, armour and jewellery. Warriors are buried with their horses. More about burial mounds in Eastern Lithuania you can learn by visiting the exposed burial mound in Palūšė - a Bronze Age (5th-6th century) burial site.

         "Vajuonis" 180 m high plain has steep slopes and is surrounded by three lakes. Therefore it looks like a giant observation ground with Lake Vajuonis lying in the north. A panorama of Lake
         "Kretuonykštis" opens from
         "Akmeniškės" village. An area where the road climbs the western slope long ago was used for geodesy reading. Lake Kretuonas can be easily observed from this place. The old tree alley at the foot of the hill indicates the site of former manor-house.

2. "Šakarva" A charcoal pit still can be found in Šakarva. The old "Cijonai" village near Šakarva previously was named as Kalviai (Smiths). It was a royal iron-workshop which used locally excavated ore. Tar was extracted from pine stumps and tops in the same kiln. Seeking to produce a special mixture to grease the cart wheels, birch bark was added to the pit. One pit produced up to 4 buckets of tar and pitch. Some smiths produced turpentine, which they sold to the pharmacy shops in Švenčionys and Vilnius. Tar and turpentine extraction workshop opened in Palūšė in 1950. It provided tar for the rope factory in Klaipėda, exported it to Russia. Charcoal was used to heat the farms.

The mound is surrounded by water from three sides and such defence facilities as moat and rampart from the fourth. The elderly say that there was an oak on the top of this mound. The old pagan priest lived in a hollow of it. He kept the sacred fire burning. Later Christians constructed a church there, but one day it disappeared. One brave man heard the sound of an organ and looked into the hole on the top of the mound. He saw the vanished church and broken altars. Every midsummer exactly on midnight the church appears on the mound, but just for one second. Those who have sharp eyes can see it.
   1. "Šeimatis" The Stone "Mokas" amazes visitors by its size. The smaller stone "Mokiukas" lies next to it. These stones are in the vicinity of "Tauragnai" , near Šeimatis village.
