Wooden carvings

Sixteen wooden sculptures stand on the Lake Lūšiai shore near Meironys Village. A group of folk artists carved them in 1977. Sculptures are dedicated to the natural beauty and legends of the Ignalina region. One of them warns young men not to go swimming after the midnight, because pixies will drown them or tickle them until death (“Laumių pasaka” by P.Petronis). Several sculptures were inspired by stories about devils. Older people say that one of them lives nearby in Lake Tarama.
