Hello! Who we are

Two locals for whom Aukštaitija is home.

We are the kind of people who cannot imagine life without the rustle of the forest, the waves of the lake and the scent of a crackling campfire. We grew up here ourselves, among the forests and lakes of Aukštaitija, so all of this nature feels endlessly familiar and close to us — we have known it since childhood. We know not only the most popular routes and sights, but also the most hidden, most beautiful corners, which we would love to share with you too!

We invite you to dive into real adventures together: whether you want to catch the wind and try paddleboarding, glide calmly along the river by kayak, or simply escape the city bustle to our cosy campsites surrounded by forest. After an active day, there is nothing better than relaxing in a mobile sauna or immersing yourself in authentic rituals with a sauna master who has prepared fragrant whisks. And to make the evening absolutely perfect — together we will cook a traditional, smoky fish soup and taste fresh fish smoked right here. Join us, let the locals lead the way, and let us create the most beautiful memories together!
