PINE NEEDLE (SPYGLYS)
Žeimenos g. 7, Družiliai, Švenčionių r.

As the name suggests, this hut is small, green and blends in with the its coniferous neighbours — so much so that it might just be one of them. The hut stands in a pine forest right on the shore of Lake Pailgis, on the territory of the children's and youth recreation camp "Pailgis". Once it was a summer recreation place for Vilnius Airport employees, and now the campsite is being revived by the Kaltanėnai Tourism and Information Center, where camps are held and buildings are rented for recreation.

In the hut you will find 2 rooms - a kitchen (hot/cold water, microwave, refrigerator) and a bedroom (4 single beds). Next to it, in the yard, there is a metal barbecue for grill virtuosos. However, there is no woodstove or other heating options in the cottage, it is a summer house.

Travelers can also use the amenities that are not in the cabin itself: the main building of the campsite has toilets and showers (separately for men and women). Outside, next to the basketball court, there are also wooden outdoor toilets. The campsite also has a large outdoor kitchen - a gazebo - where you can also cook or dine. On the shore of the lake - a large bonfire for cozy evenings and a wooden bridge for swimming enthusiasts.

IMPORTANT:

1. The hut has no heating, so it can only be used during the warm season, approximately from April to October, when the temperature outside is at least +10 °C during the day.

2. Arriving along the forest road from the village of Družiliai, you will see many different fenced campsites with cabins along the lake. Follow the road past them until you see a green metal gate with this white poster, written in Lithuanian is "Vaikų ir jaunimo poilsio stovykla Pailgis, Namelis Pušyne". To the left of this gate for cars is this metal pedestrian gate for travellers to enter the territory. Go through it, further through the main white building of the campsite, all the way to the far corner, where there is a dark green, numbered 5, travellers' cabin "Spyglys". Use this campsite map for orientation. 

3. Recommended payment amount - from 15 EUR per person/night. Travellers can use all the amenities of the campsite - showers, hot/cold water, indoor WC, etc.
