Leisure

Near Mother-in-Law's Cottage, a stone bridge leads to a tiny island in a large pond on the Vila Dubgiris grounds. On the island stands a round log cabin straight out of a fairytale. It seats up to 15 guests, with wooden benches and a round wooden table for sharing a meal. Beside the cabin, a large stone fireplace rises from the pond and can be used for cooking.

Vila Dubgiris has three small wooden gazebos, each with a fire pit. Choose the Sports Gazebo beside the playground and basketball and volleyball courts, the Birch Grove Gazebo among the birches or the Pine Grove Gazebo in the shade of the pines.

There are two ponds full of fish at Vila Dubgiris. The smaller pond is beside the Banquet Hall terrace. The larger one is near Mother-in-Law's Cottage and the fish viewing area, with narrow paths for a stroll around the water. The ponds are stocked with trout, eels, carp, pike, crucian carp, tench, perch, grass carp, catfish and sturgeon.

Follow the stone steps to the top of the hill at Vila Dubgiris. Small viewing areas with benches let you watch the fish in the pond and look out over the estate. Fishing equipment is available to hire.

Vila Dubgiris has basketball and volleyball courts, and we provide balls for both sports. Next to the courts are a safe, interactive children's playground and the Sports Gazebo with a fire pit.

Take in the scenery of Lake Plinkšiai from a boat, kayak, canoe or paddleboard. We can also provide fishing gear if you'd like to fish from the water.

We can arrange bicycles for guests who want to explore the countryside around Uikiai and visit the sights of Samogitia. Narrow forest trails, beautiful scenery and historic sites offer a taste of the region that Vila Dubgiris calls home.

The children's playground beside the basketball and volleyball courts has colourful climbing frames, swings, a slide and a sandpit. The Vila Dubgiris grounds are fully fenced, so while the children play, you can enjoy a picnic at the nearby Sports Gazebo.

A stay at Vila Dubgiris gives you time to unwind and explore the countryside around Uikiai, with its forests and views of Lake Plinkšiai. Visit historic Plinkšiai Manor, which belonged to Count Konstantinas Broel Plateris (1847–1899), and see his grave. We can also arrange a visit to the 16th-century Renavas Manor, which is undergoing restoration and houses a branch of the Mažeikiai Museum. See where scenes from the Lithuanian film “Tadas Blinda. Pradžia” were filmed. In the town of Seda, you can visit the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Church of St John of Nepomuk. Follow scenic forest trails by bicycle to the former Pasruojis state fish farm and Panų (Mergų) Hill, where you can take a quiet moment in the chapel. On request, we can arrange a trip to Žemaitija National Park by Lake Plateliai.
