Family is the most important thing in Naisiai, so visitors of all ages are welcome here, the younger ones will find entertainment and the older ones, peace.

Šiauliai-Kuršėnai Pedestrian Bridge – 27 km

Now there is another reason to visit Kuršėnai: the new pedestrian bridge over Venta. At night it is comfortably lit, during the day it is nice to stand on the bridge and watch the water flowing from the river. And to make the stay even sweeter, it is necessary to taste the local roll. The delicious dessert is the pride of the city. And those who like to cook at home can buy the book “History of the Kuršėnai Roll” prepared by J. Kiriliauskas and try the recipe themselves.

A white pearl surrounded by crystal clear waters: this is how we could present the church of Kurtuvėnai. And the town is not only proud of it, but also of the restored manor complex and the theater festival that takes place in summer. Everyone can ride through the green forests of Kurtuvėnai.

If that’s not enough, Girnikai mound is very close, and from it you can see Šatrija hill (Pašatrija mound, Telšiai district), Kalniškės mound (Kelmė district, Užventis old age) and other mountains.

Lithuania’s 10th largest lake stands out for its shape (reminiscent of a thumb), depth (the deepest point is only 4 meters), winds (this lake is loved by kite enthusiasts), flora and fauna (many birds and fish for hatching). You can bike to the lake, visit the heritage sites along the shore, and try the new observation deck on the bridge.

Šiauliai-Bubiai – 15 km

Although the sea is too far away, stop to admire Bubiai Pond (or Šiauliai Sea, Bubiai Lagoon). In the town and mansion of Bubiai, the mound is a great place for discoveries and nature walks.
