Aukstaitija: tasty heritage

Points of interest

• Ramūnas is an expert in herbal teas, and he offers educational programmes for children and adults about various herbs that grow in the Anykščiai region.  He offers tastings of acorn coffee and herbal teas out in nature.  The programmes are organised by R. Daugelavičius at Vilniaus Street 22 in Anykščiai.


• Important destinations in the region:  Visit a path that passes along the tops of trees (Medžių Lajų takas), the Labyrinth Trail (during the summer), and the Siaurukas narrow-gauge railroad where you can take a ride on a train.


• Smoked fish and fish soup are offered at the Gaidelių sodyba farm, using centuries-old recipes that were developed by fishermen from Eastern Aukštaitija.  Fish processers have been given a certificate as an element of Lithuanian national heritage.  Most of the recipes are from the 17th century, when Queen Bona introduced spices and traditions in the region.
