hours) <\/p><p>After jumping into the canoes on Lake Utenyk\u0161tis, paddle a few hundred meters keeping to the right side of the shoreline to bypass the Utenyk\u0161tis lake cape. Continue keeping to the right bank, paddle through the La\u0161mens strait, known for its rich marsh flora. After overcoming the marsh reeds, you&#8217;ll cross the strait and continue your journey on the B\u016bka River. During the trip, you can rest in ethnographic areas and campsites set up along the river. The banks of B\u016bka are bordered by forested woods, enriching its waters. On your left, in the direction of your paddle, is the A\u017evin\u010diai forest, and on the right, the Vy\u017eiai forest.      So, paddling this river, you&#8217;ll not only get acquainted with the rich flora and fauna of the rivers but also confirm that the B\u016bka River is one of the cleanest rivers in Lithuania!<\/p><p>In the past, the B\u016bka River was used for log rafting. You know that the river&#8217;s water level changes in certain areas, so the water level was artificially raised to ensure optimal log transportation. You&#8217;ll find remnants of wooden dams during your journey!  <\/p><p>About a kilometer from the start of your journey (from the B\u016bka&#8217;s source at Utenyk\u0161tis), you&#8217;ll reach the Ineiga rest area. Here you can take a break after the start. But don&#8217;t linger too long, as the journey has just begun!  <\/p><p>You might encounter Water Lily families while paddling. Water Lilies are included in the Red Book, so please act responsibly \u2013 do not pick or harm them! If you like to pick plants as souvenirs, look around and pick Water Mint hidden among the reeds on the riverbanks. Their flowers are not only beautiful \u2013 at the end of the trip, you can brew delicious mint tea for yourself and your travel companions!<\/p><p>Soon you&#8217;ll notice the village of Vai\u0161nori\u0161k\u0117s, recognizable by the XIX \u2013 XX century style of the residents&#8217; buildings, from whose yards wooden piers and small bridges stretch out into the river. Bypassing the piers, you&#8217;ll pass a small bridge necessary to extend the Tauragnai township.   and the Braslavas township road. Next to that small bridge on your left, notice the ethnographic area: once there stood an inn, mentioned since 1765. The first homestead in this area was established in 1830. Later, four more were built.    <\/p><p>After passing the mentioned Vai\u0161nori\u0161k\u0117s and the road bridge, the B\u016bka narrows and becomes winding. This section of the B\u016bka River is characterized by some deep spots and a more intense current. And, of course, how could there not be fallen trees across the river? You&#8217;ll find more than one, so you may need to carry some canoes over logs or on land along the riverbanks. Remember, a wet tree is slippery, the riverbed is not always even, and the current can disrupt balance. Be coordinated, unless you want to take a dip in the swift waters of B\u016bka. J     <\/p><p>Note that the river sometimes has bays that look like branches of the river. You&#8217;ll recognize the true riverbed by paying attention to the current \u2013 the free flow of water and the movement of plants. <\/p><p>And so, you&#8217;ve completed your journey on the B\u016bka River. Its conclusion is adorned by the Baluo\u0161as Lake, rich with seven islands, which you&#8217;re now entering. The silence of Baluo\u0161as Lake is maintained by pine forests, whose resinous scents you probably already smell. Upon entering Baluo\u0161as, keep to the right side and you&#8217;ll find the Adomragis rest area. Here, refresh yourself, as a diverse range of Auk\u0161taitija waters awaits you until the Almajas campsite!    <\/p><p>At the Adomragis rest area, especially at the tip of the promontory, there is a clear and convenient shore inviting you to swim. It&#8217;s a great place for a dip, but not for leaving trash: be kind to nature and don&#8217;t leave litter, as there are no bins here. You&#8217;ll dispose of it in a container at the Almajas campsite, but until then, collect trash in your canoe&#8217;s bag.  <\/p><p>So, after snacking and resting, it&#8217;s time to decide which direction to paddle. It depends on your strength and remaining supplies. <\/p><p>THERE ARE 2 OPTIONS TO CROSS BALUO\u0160AS LAKE:<\/p><p>First option (~1.5 km, ~20 min) \u2013 paddle straight from Adomragis campsite to the stream connecting Lake Baluo\u0161as and Lake Baluo\u0161yk\u0161tis. It&#8217;s about 1.5 km or 15-20 minutes of paddling. For this direction, head towards the opposite shore of the lake.   On the left should be Liep\u0173 Island, and on the right, a peninsula called Ber\u017earagis. From the Ber\u017earagis peninsula, you&#8217;ll see a bridge under which the stream connecting the lakes flows.<\/p><p>Second option (~4.5 km; up to ~1.5 hours) \u2013 explore the natural wonders of Baluo\u0161as Lake by visiting Ilgasal\u0117 Island. It&#8217;s a unique hydrographic formation in Lithuania, as Ilgasal\u0117 is the only island in Lithuanian lakes with a small lake on it. <\/p><p>To visit the most beautiful spots of Lake Baluo\u0161as (if you chose the second option), paddle from the Adomragis campsite along the left bank of Baluo\u0161as. Soon you&#8217;ll see the ethnographic village of \u0160uminai, first mentioned in historical sources in 1784. Under the name Pabaluo\u0161\u0117. In this village, there is a pine tree about 300 years old. However, the pine tree does not make \u0160uminai village famous as much as the historical fact that in 1972, the famous Lithuanian film &#8220;Tadas Blinda&#8221; was filmed here, and every resident of \u0160uminai village will show you the &#8220;Tadas Blinda villa&#8221; standing here.<\/p><p>Leaving \u0160uminai village, paddle past Deg\u0117sio Island towards the last and longest island of Baluo\u0161as Lake \u2013 Ilgasal\u0117. Reaching the southeastern end of Ilgasal\u0117, paddle into the bay, where you can find a stream through gaps in the vegetation and enter with your canoes. <\/p><p>After paddling back from the small lake of Ilgasal\u0117, return to the same place and direction you paddled from \u0160uminai village, then turning the canoes to the left, travel southeast, keeping to the Baluo\u0161as shoreline. Paddling in the distance, you&#8217;ll see a cape. After rounding the cape, if you still have time and energy, you can briefly enter a bay and visit Traini\u0161kis village, visiting Traini\u0161kis&#8217; landmark \u2013 an 800-year-old oak, which fell to the ground due to a strong storm in 2016. Since then, visitors can view not only the trunk of this historical tree but also its top!   <\/p><p>When leaving Traini\u0161kis bay, on the left side, you&#8217;ll see another small cape. From it, paddle straight towards another, larger cape visible in the distance. After rounding it and always keeping to the left shoreline, you&#8217;ll enter the large Baluo\u0161as bay, at the end of which you&#8217;ll see a stream about 150 m long, connecting Lake Baluo\u0161as with the small lake Baluo\u0161yk\u0161tis. This swift stream will carry you into another adventure-filled lake area.    <\/p><p>Paddle along Baluo\u0161yk\u0161tis until you reach the lake&#8217;s outlet, leaving Simoni\u0161kis village on the left and Vaid\u017ei\u0161kiai village on the right. After crossing the lake, slightly to the left, among the reeds, you&#8217;ll notice the source of the Skriog\u017el\u0117 stream. <\/p><p>Skriog\u017el\u0117 is about 0.9 km long. Skriog\u017el\u0117 may seem like a narrow and deep river with several sharp bends. The banks of this river are covered with trees, making the river slopes quite steep. Storms have knocked several trees into the river, but you can overcome them by jumping with your canoe if you gain enough speed. After a few more bends, you&#8217;ll enter Lake Sravinaitis.    <\/p><p>In Lake Sravinaitis, keep to the right shoreline until you reach an island shaped like a promontory. Bypass it on the left (the island will remain on the right), and you&#8217;ll reach the famous Ginu\u010diai watermill. <\/p><p>The Ginu\u010diai mill operated until 1968. A decade later, it was restored. Now the mill is declared a state-protected 19th-century technical monument. It houses a museum where you can see authentic old mill equipment. The mill museum is open from May to October (Tuesday to Saturday 10 am \u2013 6 pm, Sundays 10 am \u2013 3 pm).     <\/p><p>Disembark on the right side of the watermill dam and carry your canoes over the dam. Don&#8217;t miss the great opportunity to swim in the water stream falling from the dam&#8217;s trough! <\/p><p>After splashing in the strong stream of the water mill, you&#8217;ll get into the transferred canoes and continue paddling on the Srov\u0117 River. Upon reaching the right tributary of the Almaja River from Lake Almaja, the Srov\u0117 River&#8217;s course will bend to the left. <\/p><p>First overnight option<\/p><p>IF YOU WANT TO STAY OVERNIGHT AT THE &#8216;ALMAJO&#8217; CAMPSITE, you need to paddle up the Almaja River into Lake Almajas. Turn right at the Almaja River&#8217;s course, paddling upstream directly into Lake Almajas. At the river&#8217;s mouth, you may feel its resistance, but once you enter the lake, you&#8217;ll relax. Paddle along the right shore of Lake Almajas, and as you row, you&#8217;ll pass a pointed peninsula and see the Almajo rest area.   <\/p><p>You&#8217;ve completed half the route: Almajas campsite is your halfway point, where you can rest and dispose of the accumulated trash in local containers and set up camp.<\/p><p>AFTER STAYING OVERNIGHT AT THE &#8216;ALMAJO&#8217; CAMPSITE:<\/p><p>Paddling from the campsite, keep to the left shoreline. At the outlet of Lake Almajas, paddling a short Almaja River, you&#8217;ll reach the confluence of rivers ahead \u2013 keep to the right side and paddle downstream \u2013 this will lead you into the Srov\u0117 River, whose channel will gradually curve to the left. After the river bend, you&#8217;ll pass the village of Ginu\u010diai and the piers extending into the river, two road bridges. Passing the village, the river channel will be straighter, and after a few graceful turns, you&#8217;ll enter Lake As\u0117kas. In Lake As\u0117kas, keep to the right bank. After paddling more than half a kilometer, you&#8217;ll see the mouth of the As\u0117ka River. This short, about 650 meters long, river connects the last As\u0117kas and Linkmenas lakes. As\u0117ka has a wide bend, and the current here is very weak. Due to the abundant trees and grass vegetation on the riverbanks, moisture is retained, so beaver families breed in these areas.         The As\u0117ka River will carry you into Lake Linkmenas. Keep to the right shoreline on the lake.<\/p><p>Here you can choose several options: either continue the route without breaks or paddle to Papiliakaln\u0117 to look around from Ladakalnis.<\/p><p>If you want to visit Ladakalnis, you need to paddle to the opposite lake shore, deviating slightly to the right (on the map, Ladakalnis is marked with a red dot). Ladakalnis is a hill rising 176 m above sea level, from which you can count the lakes visible to the horizon. You&#8217;ll paddle about 1 km to Ladakalnis. However, you&#8217;ll forget about the distance when magnificent views open up before your eyes from the top of Ladakalnis: vast forest expanses, lakes hidden in the woods \u2013 As\u0117kas, Linkmenas, Alksnaitis, Alksnas, \u016akojas, and Pakasas will refresh your soul. Here you&#8217;ll gather strength for further travel through the lake-rich Auk\u0161taitija.    <\/p><p>After visiting Ladakalnis, paddle across Lake Linkmenas, keeping more to the right side. In the distance, you&#8217;ll see the Unk\u0161tis strait, connecting Linkmenas and Asalnyk\u0161tis lakes. <\/p><p>If you haven&#8217;t visited Ladakalnis and have just arrived via the As\u0117ka River, turn your canoes to the left and keep to the left shore. After about half a kilometer, you&#8217;ll reach the Unksties Strait, connecting Lake Linkmenas and Lake Asalnyk\u0161tis.<\/p><p>Second overnight option<\/p><p>IF YOU CHOSE THE &#8216;LINKMENO&#8217; REST AREA FURTHER AWAY<\/p><p>After the bend of the Srov\u0117 River to the left, you&#8217;ll pass the village of Ginuciai and the piers stretching into the river, two driveable bridges. As you pass the village, the river&#8217;s course will be straighter, and after navigating a few graceful turns, you&#8217;ll enter Lake As\u0117ka. In Lake As\u0117ka, keep to the right shore. After paddling more than half a kilometer, you&#8217;ll see the mouth of the As\u0117ka River. This short, about 650 meters long river connects Lake As\u0117ka and Lake Linkmenas. As\u0117ka has a wide bend, and the current here is very weak. Due to the abundant vegetation of trees and grasses on the riverbanks, moisture is retained, and beaver families thrive in these areas.      <\/p><p>The As\u0117ka River will carry you to Lake Linkmenas. In the lake, keep to the right shoreline. Beyond the wide bay, you&#8217;ll find the Linkmeno campsite. Here you can settle in and gather strength for the next day&#8217;s journey.   <\/p><p>If you want to visit Ladakalnis on the other side of Lake Linkmenas, do it in the morning \u2013 at sunrise. You need to paddle to the place marked on the map called Papiliakaln\u0117. Ladakalnis is a hill rising 176 meters above sea level, from which lakes can be counted to the horizon. You&#8217;ll paddle about 1 km to Ladakalnis. However, you&#8217;ll forget about the distance when your eyes open to the majestic views from the top of Ladakalnis: vast forest expanses, lakes hidden in the woods \u2013 As\u0117kas, Linkmenas, Alksnaitis, Alksnas, \u016akojas, and Pakasas will refresh your soul. Here you&#8217;ll gather strength for the further journey through the lake-rich Auk\u0161taitija.     <\/p><p>If after visiting Ladakalnis, you immediately embark on a journey, paddle across Lake Linkmenas, keeping more to the right side. In the distance, you&#8217;ll see the Unksties Strait, connecting Lake Linkmenas and Lake Asalnyk\u0161tis. <\/p><p>If you haven&#8217;t visited Ladakalnis and are moving from the Linkmeno campsite, keep to the left shore and paddle back from where you came yesterday. You need to pass the mouth of the As\u0117ka River and continue keeping to the left shore. After about half a kilometer, you&#8217;ll reach the Unksties Strait, connecting Lake Linkmenas and Lake Asalnyk\u0161tis. <\/p><p><b>Second day&#8217;s route<\/b><\/p><p>Lake Linkmenai \u2013 Lake \u017deimenai (~16 km, ~5 hours) Paddling towards \u0160akarva   <\/p><p>Entering the Unk\u0161tis strait, you&#8217;ll paddle a little over 1 kilometer, and halfway through the strait&#8217;s trajectory, you&#8217;ll pass under a wooden pile bridge. This bridge connects the Sal\u0173 peninsula visible on your right with the age-old Linkmenai forest on the left. <\/p><p>The Sal\u0173 peninsula is special because it houses two villages: Salos I and Salos II. Both are in a kind of peninsula, washed by the Asalnyk\u0161tis, Linkmenas, Alksnas, and Alksnaitis lakes. The only road for the peninsula&#8217;s village residents to travel by land leads from the village of Antalksn\u0117. The Sal\u0173 villages stand out for their unique architecture and layout, so a cultural reserve has been established here. Unfortunately, only a house and a barn from the 19th century remain. Other buildings were built in the early 20th century.       <\/p><p>The peninsula we&#8217;re talking about is on your right as you paddle. On the left is also a very interesting historical site \u2013 the Puzini\u0161kis hillfort, covered with pines and birches, against which the aforementioned wooden bridge leans. The steep, up to 20 meters high, slopes of the hillfort are surrounded by remnants of a defensive rampart from the west. Perhaps you&#8217;d like to visit here too?   <\/p><p>While deciding whether to paddle further or climb the hillfort, look at the water lapping the strait&#8217;s banks: you&#8217;ll see green organisms attached to various places, resembling corals. These are freshwater sponges \u2013 Lake Sponges (Spongilla Lacustris). Lake sponges and corals are related fauna, classified as simple invertebrates.  <\/p><p>The strait is only one kilometer long, but around it are full of natural wonders and ethnographic objects. After overcoming the Unk\u0161tis strait, you&#8217;ll paddle into Lake Asalnyk\u0161tis. <\/p><p>When you enter Asalnyk\u0161tis, don&#8217;t get lost \u2013 keep to the left shoreline, and as you paddle in the right direction, Gim\u017ei\u0161k\u0117s Island will wave on your right. As you paddle, you&#8217;ll see a strait in the distance, which, after crossing, will lead you into Lake Asalnai. On the left side of the strait, you&#8217;ll see the village of Puzini\u0161kis. This area also has its interesting history: in 1919, when Poland occupied the Vilnius region, a demarcation line separating Lithuanian and Polish-occupied territories ran through this village. The village of Puzini\u0161kis is located on a hill, from which a stunning view of the Asalnai landscape reserve opens up. After crossing the strait dividing the lakes, you&#8217;ll enter Lake Asalnai.<\/p><p>On Lake Asalnai, paddle straight while keeping to the right shoreline. As you paddle in this direction, you&#8217;ll notice this part of the lake starts to narrow. When you reach the narrow part of the lake (like a sleeve), you&#8217;ll see the Dringyk\u0161\u010dia River channel (also known as Meira) on the left side. The river flows from Lake Dringyk\u0161tis, and just beyond the river, the sun warms the roofs of the farming village of Meironys, which will accompany you until you enter Lake Lusiai.<\/p><p>There is an interesting tradition in the village of Meironys: during Pentecost, farmers decorate their cows with flower wreaths and float them to the opposite cape&#8217;s shore, which locals call Pabir\u017eis. There, the cows are released to graze freely until autumn and are floated back during Michaelmas. Milkmaids row by boat every morning and evening to milk the cows and bring the warm milk home.  <\/p><p>So, after passing the village of Meironys on the left and the Pabir\u017eis cape on the right, you&#8217;ll enter Lake L\u016b\u0161iai. If you want to visit the village of Pal\u016b\u0161\u0117, from this point, keeping to the left shoreline, paddle ~1.5 km to the eastern shore of Lake L\u016b\u0161iai towards the village of Pal\u016b\u0161\u0117.  <\/p><p>While paddling, you&#8217;ll see the Pal\u016b\u0161\u0117 church with its bell tower, the village&#8217;s largest historical landmark \u2013 a wooden church with a bell tower, built in 1750! Climbing the stone-paved stairs, you&#8217;ll see that the church is well-restored and cozy. The church stands on a hill, offering a pleasant view of Lake L\u016b\u0161iai. It is the oldest wooden church in Lithuania, once adorning the 1 Litas banknotes.   <\/p><p>If you don&#8217;t visit the village of Pal\u016b\u0161\u0117, just after entering Lake L\u016b\u0161iai, aim for the opposite shore, turning slightly to the right. You&#8217;ll need to paddle about 0.8 km across L\u016b\u0161iai. Upon reaching the opposite shore of Lake L\u016b\u0161iai, at the end of which you&#8217;ll see a channel turning to the right. Keeping to the shoreline, paddle through the channel until you reach Lake \u0160akarvai.   <\/p><p>\u0160akarvai is one of the deeper lakes in the Auk\u0161taitija National Park, with a maximum depth of 40 m. The average width of the lake is 0.35 km, and its length is 2.5 km. Paddle through Lake \u0160akarvai to the very end. You&#8217;ll notice a driveable bridge, under which flows the \u0160akarva stream, connecting Lake \u0160akarvai and Lake \u017deimenys.   <\/p><p>\u017deimenys is the lake with the longest shoreline in the Auk\u0161taitija National Park. The lake&#8217;s length is more than 10 km, width ~0.5 km, and depth ~24 m. \u017deimenys surpasses other lakes in length but not in width, so while paddling through the bays of \u017deimenys, you can feel the water flowing into the river. The lake&#8217;s shores resemble cliffs (up to 20 m above sea level). These are covered with pines, sandy. A large part of the shores is occupied by reed beds, embracing the islands standing here.<\/p><p>Besides the \u0160akarva stream, the Jaurup\u0117 stream flows into Lake \u017deimenys in its western branch, and the Laukup\u0117 and Kretuona streams flow into its eastern part. Near Kaltan\u0117nai, the \u017deimena River flows out of the lake. There are 14 small islands in Lake \u017deimenys. Around the lake are the villages of Bajorai, O\u017ekiniai, Antanavas, and the town of Kaltan\u0117nai.   <\/p><p>Paddling the main channel of the lake for about 4 km, on the left side, you&#8217;ll see a &#8220;T&#8221;-shaped pier. Beyond the pier, you&#8217;ll notice the Kretuona stream flowing out of Lake Kretuona. Lake Kretuona is the largest in the Auk\u0161taitija National Park and has been declared an ornithological reserve due to its vast diversity of protected birds. Scientists have found remains of settlements from the IX millennium BC in Lake Kretuona.<\/p><p>If you walk 350 m from the shore of Lake \u017deimenys, you&#8217;ll find the old Pakretuon\u0117s water mill, built next to the Kretuona stream. The mill boasts impressive cascades, under which it&#8217;s always fun to splash on a hot summer day! Currently, a recreation and wellness camp belonging to the Lithuanian National Martynas Ma\u017evydas Library is set up here. Tourists are allowed into the area for a symbolic fee, so they can enjoy the water fun provided by the mill.    <\/p><p>From the mouth of the Kretuona stream, after paddling about half a kilometer, you&#8217;ll find a campsite on the pine-covered shore where you can stay overnight.<\/p><p><b>Third day&#8217;s route<\/b><\/p><p>Lake \u017deimenai \u2013 \u0160ven\u010dion\u0117liai (~23 km, ~8 hours) <\/p><p>From the Pakretuon\u0117s campsite, after paddling ~4 km, mostly on the right side of Lake \u017deimenys, you&#8217;ll see the town of Kaltan\u0117nai. Paddling the winding and narrow Lake \u017deimenys and keeping to the right shoreline, paddling towards Kaltan\u0117nai, you&#8217;ll enter the \u017deimena River!<\/p><p>From the town of Kaltan\u0117nai, you&#8217;ll paddle under a bridge over the \u017deimena River. The \u017deimena flows through meadows where the linden trees of the Kaltan\u0117nai manor park stand. The exit point is conveniently accessible by car, allowing for a winding, pleasant journey.  <\/p><p>If you have time before the start, look around: in the panorama of Kaltan\u0117nai, you&#8217;ll see the neo-Gothic style single-tower Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Angels, built of red clay bricks in 1909. The church was built over six years! If you have a few minutes, walk to the barns of Kaltan\u0117nai manor. It&#8217;s a two-story folk classicism building constructed with wooden logs back in 1838.    <\/p><p>Paddling downstream on \u017deimena ~3 km from the start, on the left side, you&#8217;ll see the village of \u0160akali\u0161k\u0117s and the first right tributary of \u017deimena \u2013 the Kiauna River. <\/p><p>After passing the tributary and rowing ~1.7 km, you&#8217;ll pass another small village \u2013 Naujoji Brasta. After ~3 km, you&#8217;ll find Lukna village, where the second right tributary of \u017deimena \u2013 Luknel\u0117 flows. Although this river is short (~15 km), it&#8217;s very extreme: full of tree barriers, difficult to pass, so we don&#8217;t create routes on this river. After paddling ~5 km from the Luknel\u0117 tributary, on the right side of your paddling direction, you&#8217;ll see Jusiai village. Next to this village is the third right tributary of \u017deimena \u2013 the Sirg\u0117la River, with its mouth overgrown with reeds. This river is short, characterized by a weak current flowing from the Sirgelis lake.<\/p><p>At the mouth of the Sirg\u0117la River, the territory of the Auk\u0161taitija National Park ends, and the \u017deimena ichthyological reserve begins. It extends to the confluence of the \u017deimena and Neris rivers. The purpose of the ichthyological reserve is to protect spawning grounds for salmon, sea trout, and brown trout.  <\/p><p>After paddling about 1 km from the mouth of the Sirg\u0117la River and navigating two sharper bends of the \u017deimena, you&#8217;ll pass the left tributary of the \u017deimena\u2014the short \u0160ventel\u0117 River, which carries the waters of Lake Telio. Turn left into the \u0160ventel\u0117 River to enter Lake Telio. In Lake Telio, keep to the right shoreline, and after paddling more than half of the lake&#8217;s shore, you&#8217;ll find a campsite beyond the peninsula.  <\/p><p>Second day&#8217;s route<\/p><p>Telys \u2013 \u017deimena (~14 km, 5 hours)<\/p><p>From the campsite at Lake Telio, return to the \u0160ventel\u0117 River, keeping to the left shoreline. From the \u0160ventel\u0117 River, you&#8217;ll soon enter the \u017deimena. About 5 km from the confluence of the \u0160ventel\u0117 and \u017deimena, you&#8217;ll reach the banks of the town of \u0160ven\u010dion\u0117liai.   <\/p><p>\u0160ven\u010dion\u0117liai were mentioned in written sources in the 17th century. at the end.  In the northern part of the town, there was Juodi\u0161kis manor and a village around it during the Middle Ages. The town&#8217;s growth was spurred by the construction of the Saint Petersburg \u2013 Warsaw railway in 1862 and, of course, the railway station. A narrow-gauge railway from Panev\u0117\u017eys to Lentupis, reaching Aduti\u0161kis, was also built through the town. Unfortunately, the settlement, known for its railways, almost completely burned down in 1900. almost completely burned down. After quickly rebuilding it, industrial enterprises began to develop, and by 1907, a wooden church cross rose above the town&#8217;s roofs, and a school was established. The town&#8217;s expansion didn&#8217;t stop, so in 1920, \u0160ven\u010dion\u0117liai received town rights. Four years later, a matchstick factory began operating.
