Utena County

Utena County has served as an administrative region within northeastern Lithuania since the 1990s. It lies in Aukštaitija, the country’s lake-dotted northeastern highland, where forests, farmland and waterways set a slower inland rhythm. Aukštaitija National Park extends into the county around Ignalina, protecting a mosaic of lakes and pine woodland; Lake Tauragnas, Lithuania’s deepest lake, is also here. The county includes Visaginas, a planned town developed for the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, whose reactors were shut down in 2004 and 2009. In Palūšė, the wooden Church of St Joseph is a noted example of Lithuanian timber sacred architecture. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Utena County.
