Aukštaitija, Historical region in northeastern Lithuania
Eastern Aukštaitija contains 126 lakes across its territory, with numerous waterways connecting through dense forests and rolling landscapes in the upper Nemunas basin.
The region served as the center of the Duchy of Lithuania in the 13th century, with Kernavė functioning as its initial administrative center.
The population of Aukštaitija speaks the East Aukštaitian dialect of Lithuanian, which forms one of the two main linguistic divisions in the country.
Panevėžys, the regional capital with 100,000 residents, provides extensive shopping facilities in the Babilonas district with multiple retail centers.
The northwestern section features pre-1860 brick churches instead of wooden structures due to limited timber resources during the 19th century construction period.
