Vištytis Windmill
Highlight • Monument
Not one was enchanted by the sound of a rotating mill mill.
The wind harnessed to work spun the wings of the mill for three decades, long chains of "patvadas" stretched on both sides of the road, sometimes queues had to wait for several days. Having a mill was not a bad business, so the local chickens looked jealously at the Kanapkis mill, because the saying about the richness of the miller "lives like a hunter's dogs, the pastor's gaspad and the miller's pigs" is not "broken from the finger".
When the collective farm was formed, the wings of the mill were removed and the milling work was carried out by a motor and electricity, and since 1978 the ethnographic museum has been operating in the mill for more than a decade.
In 1992, the museum was closed, the exhibits collected by local chickens were taken to the Vilkaviškis Regional Museum, and the mill was returned to the owners.
A unique windmill with preserved technological equipment in good condition and the miller's house is included in the Register of Immovable Cultural Property of the Republic of Lithuania.
A practical human helper almost a century ago, the Vištytis windmill is now only an exotic landscape decoration and an invaluable technical heritage waiting for our proper help and protection from extinction.

Šilelis Educational Trail
Highlight • Trail
The Šilelis educational trail is a circular trail, the beginning and end of which is marked by a stand located by the road Vištytis - Vyžainis. The trail has two tracks of different lengths, so when you reach the Holy Spring, you should decide whether to continue the hike with the short or the long track. The length of the short track is about 2.4 km, the long track is 3.4 km. The short course is covered in an hour and a half, while the long course requires more endurance and time, so you can complete it in two and a half hours. You will find interesting information about the visited objects at the stands located on the educational trail. The trail is marked with special circular trail markers with a tree symbol in the middle, which serve as landmarks to help visitors stay on track.
