When you follow this path you'll go on a hike down a mountain river in a country with no mountains! That's what the spirited Jurkiškis Stream is often called. Even though it's short, at only1.2 km long, it's extremely fast. It follows a spectacular, wild canyon valley that's full of life. Even though  it was formed thousands of years ago, the valley is still continuously changing, which is a blessing and a challenge for those looking to settle in it.

It offers spectacular slopes as well as wild and untamed nature, including the huge boulder that "dips its tors" into the stream. It is called Puntukas's Child, a state - protected natural heritage object.
