Surrounded by more than three hundred lakes, the region of Zarasai has some of the biggest lakes in Lithuania – Drūkšiai, Luodis, Sartai, Antalieptė marios and other less known rivers and lakes, nevertheless that does not mean they are less popular for forestry, fishing and water activities.

Zarasai region is charming not only by its water sources, but also with unique terrestrial nature. For a long time visitors from different places are coming to see a very old and huge oak tree – Stelmužė oak, to see it is to truly believe it. Who knows what kind of secrets keeps one of the oldest (about 2000 years) oak in Europe. Amazed by the power of this tree, visitors can go on an educational route by water or by land all around the region. Gražutė and Sartai regional park visitors centers offer to see nature expositions. It is also recommended to visit Vida Žilinskienė‘s "Jūrų muziejus" – sea museum, which is the one farthest from the Baltic sea.

To witness all this beauty we recommend visitors to explore the rural tourism – one of the most popular alternative activities in the Zarasai region. There are approximately fifty services of rural tourism available near the most beautiful water filled places and astonishing landscapes. Nevertheless, the region is rich not only with its natural wonders, but also by its unique cultural heritage.
