This was from a direct swap with Gintare. It was summertime there when she sent this (05/24/2011) and I was still away from the country then.
The beauty of the Aukštaitija National Park cannot be captured even by the greatest of writers. One has to see and experience the deep, whispering forests and the bewitching blue lakes firsthand to enjoy one of Latvia's best-kept secrets. But then again this national park is open to the public. 70% of the area is covered with forests, home to over 50 different bird species, 663 kinds of mushrooms, and other awesome stuff like an 800-year old Tranaiškis Oak tree.
