I believe that is the translation of what it says here. Basically, it is a 8 feet half-boat structure filled with stuff to attract insects!

All these lakes (Karst lakes) are actually sinkholes. There are about 200 of them in this area.

Next, we drove to Kirkilai Observation Tower. It may not be apparent from the picture due to the distance, but that structure is over 32m in height. If you strain your eyes hard, you can see the small silhouettes of people on top of it. That is our target.

We were wondering if we could find someway to get into the lake. There were a couple of boats but they seemed to be private ones. Made some enquiries and found out a guy who rents out paddle boats. That was good enough for us. Some more quiet time on the lake.

It is over half a kilometer long and was built more than a century back. The walk on it over the lake was one of the most peaceful experiences one can have with nothing but the sound of birds all around!

On our way to Riga, we got off the highway and headed towards Birzai. We wanted to check out the tranquil waters of Lake Širvėna. This is the oldest manmade lake in Lithuania – built a whole four and half centuries back by putting a dam on not one but two rivers!!

We started our ride from Lithuania to Latvia. Our route will basically cut across Lithuania from south to north till we enter Latvia and finish up in the capital city of Riga.

But on the way, Gintautas has planned for a few stops on either side of the border.

This is in Kaunas
