Observation Towers
Girutiskiai Observation Tower
Observation tower in eastern Aukstaitija with views of the forest and lake mosaic near the Belarusian border.
Girutiskiai Observation Tower stands in the eastern part of the Ignalina district, near the Lithuanian-Belarusian border. From the 30-meter tower, a wide view extends over the forests and lakes of eastern Aukstaitija – one of the most remote and natural corners of Lithuania. Dense forests stretch all around, home to elk, roe deer, and rare birds. The tower is an excellent destination for those seeking peace and quiet in nature. Here you can feel the true spirit of wild Lithuanian nature. The location is suited for experienced hikers and nature photographers.
