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.

Botanikas taka

Kaut 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.

The Salu Estate park

Located 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.
