What the Molėtai region is known for
Molėtai is one of Lithuania's most beautiful regions and true lake country: nearly 300 lakes, with the Labanoras Forest and its winding streams nearby. The region is also famous for the stars — home to the Lithuanian Museum of Ethnocosmology (the only museum of its kind in the world) and the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory, which holds the largest telescope in Northern Europe. A place where nature, water and the cosmos fit into one day.
