More information
It would be a sin to travel to Aukštaitija National Park and skip the most famous observation spot – Ladakalnis. A short trip up a wellmarked trail takes you to a spacious viewpoint with a great panorama of six surrounding lakes.
Once a site of worship for Baltic tribes, the 176-metre-high hill still carries an echo of those ancient times. Many visitors climb Ladakalnis with a pebble, leaving it at the top as an offering to the goddess Lada – a legend says that it was her that the temple here was dedicated to.
