In 2021, the Ignalina region celebrates more than one city birthday. Ignalina celebrated its 155th birthday, and Dūkštas even its 160th birthday. Dūkštas is located on both sides of the Vilnius–Daugavpils railway, between Dūkštas, Parsvėtas and the second largest lake in Lithuania, Dysnai, near the Gražutė regional park. It began to develop in the middle of the 19th century, when the St. Petersburg–Warsaw railway was being built in 1859–1862. We invite you to get to know and discover the secrets and history of the town of Dūkštas by traveling along the circular pedestrian route, which starts near the railway station.
