The Salu Estate parkLocated on an island in Lake Dviragio, the Salu Estate and its park, when viewed from above, are reminiscent of the boundaries of Lithuania. The park to the east of the estate is a mixed-type park and is one of the oldest ones in Lithuania. Back in the day, it was a forest park where trees were never cut down. The park featured maple, linden, elm, aspen and other local trees, and they are now around 200 years old. A winding path links the alley to a park trail by the lake. The various plants and fragments of alleys have survived to the present day. |

Ginucu pilskalns (Ginucių piliakalnis)Viens no lielākajiem Augštaitijas pilskalniem, kas 2011. g. pēc vērienīgiem rekonstrukcijas darbiem ir izzināms jaunā kvalitātē - gan no infrastruktūras, gan arī ainaviskā viedokļa, jo iepriekš biezais pamežs (tagad retināts) traucēja uztvert iespaidīgo objektu. Arī no pilskalna plakuma paveras labs skats uz diviem blakus esošajiem ezeriem. Tā virsotnē apskatāms piemiņas akmens, kas vēsta par pirmā Lietuvas valsts prezidenta Antana Smetona (Antanas Smetona) apmeklējumu 1934. g. viņa 60 gadu jubilejā. Pilskalns it ticis apdzīvots jau I tūkstošgadē pirms Kristus. Uzskata, ka 14. – 15. gs. te atradusies hronikās aprakstītā Linkmenu pils. Jaunizveidotā taka pilskalnu savieno ar vēl vienu populāru apskates objektu – Ladakalni. |

Ula (Ula) un Merke (Merkys)Ūla ir viena no skaistākajām un likumsakarīgi – arī populārākajām Lietuvas ūdenstūristu upēm. Tās galvenā pievilcība ir skaistā ainava ar augstajiem upes krastiem, kuros slejas iespaidīgas smilšu kraujas līdzīgi kā Irbes krastos Latvijā. Laivošanu var sākt no Mančagires (Mančiagirė) vai Zervinos ciemiem un turpināt līdz Ūlas ietekai Merķē un tālāk pa Merķi līdz pat Merķinei un Nemunai. Ūla nav plata, taču posmā no Zervinos ciema tajā nav neviena koku aizgāzuma vai cita šķēršļa, kuram laiva būtu jānes apkārt. Ašā straume, asie līkumi, dzidrais ūdens un tajā redzamā zemūdens pasaule rada patiesi patīkamu sajūtu! Upes krastos atrodas gan publiskas (apsaimnieko Lietuvas valsts meži), gan privātas ūdenstūristu apmetnes un atpūtas vietas. Šī ir vienīgā Baltijas upe, kur ūdenstūristiem ir jāpērk licence. Ūlas krastos atrodas divi interesanti apskates objekti – Ūlas atsegums (Ūlos atodanga) un spēcīgs avots – Ūlas acs (Ūlos akis). Savukārt, Merķe jau ir jau krietni platāka upe, taču ar acīm redzamu straumi un dažviet pat jaukām straujtecēm. Kaut arī Merķes krasti ir mazapdzīvoti, tajos atradīsim piemērotas nakšņošanas vietas. Pa Ūlu un Merķi no Zervinos līdz Merķinei sanāk „mierīgs” pusotras - divas dienas ilgs brauciens. |

Tauragns (Tauragnas)Ap 9,5 km garais un līdz kilometru platais ezers atrodas subglaciālā – t.i. ledāja veidotā vagā, tādēļ tas ir ne tikai Lietuvas, bet arī otrs Baltijas dziļākais ezers (pēc dažādiem avotiem 60,5 m vai 62,5 m). Tauragna dienvidu krastā paceļas Taurapils pilskalns (Taurapilio piliakalnis). Saglabājušies nostāsti gan par pagānu priesteri, kas te dzīvojis, gan nogrimušu baznīcu, gan laikiem, kad pilskalnu no visām pusēm apņēmis ūdens. No pilskalna plakuma paveras visaptverošs skats uz Tauragnu. |

Šarneles (Zviedru) pilskalns (Šarnelės (Švedų) piliakalnis)Viens no iespaidīgākajiem nacionālā parka pilskalniem, kura piekājē atradusies senpilsēta. Arheoloģisko izrakumu gaitā te atrastas kuršu senlietas. Tiesa, mežs un biezais augājs traucē uztvert šī nozīmīgā arheoloģijas pieminekļa patiesos apjomus un formu. Uz pilskalnu vasarās ved izpļauta taka. Ja esat Žemaišu Kalvarijas pusē un atliek brīvs brīdis, tad savā maršrutā var iekļaut arī šo apskates objektu. |

Kuršu joma (Kuršių marios) jeb Kuršu līcisNepilnus 100 km garš un līdz 36 km plats saldūdens līcis, kas ziemeļos (starp Klaipēdas ostu un Kopgali) ir savienots ar Baltijas jūru. No Baltijas jūras to atdala iespaidīgā Kuršu kāpu strēle. Kuršu jomā ietek lielākā Lietuvas upe – Nemuna. Kuršu jomas krasti ir g.k. apauguši ar niedrēm, daudzviet purvaini un pat grūti pieejami. Jau kopš seniem laikiem Kuršu joma ir bijusi ļoti nozīmīga vietējo cilvēku ikdienas nodarbes – zivju zvejas vieta. Kuršu joma un tās skaistās ainavas ir daudzviet vērojamas gan no Kuršu kāpu ciemiem, gan arī augstāko kāpu virsotnēm. Kuršu jomu ar prāmi šķērso ikviens, kas no Lietuvas (Krievijas pusē Kuršu strēle ir savienota ar Kaļiņingradas (kādreiz – Sembijas) pussalu) dodas uz Kuršu kāpām. |

Botānikas takaKaut arī Augštaitijas nacionālo parku uzskata par floristiskā ziņā ļoti bagātu teritoriju, šī ir vienīgā vieta, kur varam iepazīt augu valsts bagātību. To īstenot palīdz takas malās izvietotie informācijas stendi. 3,8 km garās lokveida takas sākums ir meklējams Palūšē, Lūšu (Lūšiai) ezera galējā austrumu punktā. Taka ved gar ezera krastu, mežainām kāpām, nelielu strautu ielejām un pa purvāju. Nenomaldīties palīdz krāsu marķējums uz koku stumbriem. |
