Kupiškis is an easy on the eye city in northeastern Lithuania, intersected by the winding riverbed of the Lėvuo. First mentioned in 1529, the town is set in an idyllic, hilly landscape and is particularly prized for the nearby Kupiškis Reservoir (Kupiškio marios). This massive artificial lake gives excellent conditions for water sports, fishing, and swimming, and frequently hosts international rowing regattas. Kupiškis itself captivates visitors with its well-preserved, monumental Neo-Gothic Church of the Ascension of Christ. The region proudly maintains its deep ethnographic traditions, which are reflected in unique folk songs, the ancient craft of linen weaving, and annual folklore festivals. With roughly 6,000 residents, Kupiškis is a sanctuary of quiet beauty.
