A few weeks ago I had the pleasure
of a special outdoor time.
German students visited our national park during their excursion through
Lithuania. They started planning in spring and luckily a Lithuanian phd student
recommended a stop in Aukštaitija. They were looking for a German guide and
there I was.
As the weather isn’t really nice
this year our options were limited. Nevertheless I planned an entertaining and educating
program.
On our first day we took a hike
from Palūšė (wooden church, burial mounds) to the botanical path. Even though
it was raining most of the time the group stand the trip very well.
Second and last day was time for
the big tour through the national park with all the popular sights. We started
on the sculpture path and walked to Meironys to see a typical street village.
After that the bus took us to the Trainiškis oak, Ginučiai water mill (where
our lovely colleague Rimute took over), Ginučiai castle mound, Ladakalnis and
of course the sculpture of the working man (let the bell ring!).
Lovely days with lovely people!
Thanks HS Weihenstephan!
