Routes
Baltoji Ančia is the river in South Lithuania. It outflows from Ančia Lake, which is in Lazdijai district.
The route starts at Jezdas village, where begins the river and Ančia lake ends. The route is winding and rapid. Canoeing at the river you will see tunnels, tumbled down trees but because of that canoeing will be more fun and interesting as well as your feet can get wet.
Canoeing you can see the beauty of Kapčiamiestis town and stop to have dinner in a place, which you will like. Canoeing further by the bridge of Baltoji Ančia, where flows in Nieda River, the river becomes wider. After two hours you will be at a small village–ancient settlement–called Pinčiaragis or Palangėlė as local people call it. It is ancient settlement, in which there are two docks; here you can stop by to relax and see how beautiful is nature. Also you can finish your route in Pinčiaragis dock. Often this route is chosen, when people want to go canoeing for several days as well as amateurs, who go canoeing for the first time, and families with children choose this route.
If you canoe further, you will see Volskai village. This stretch is distinguished by vivid lanscapes, sharp and sandy shores. One more possible finish for canoeing is by the old bridge of Volskai.
Choosing to canoe further through the old bridge of Volskai, soon you will see the beautiful Baltoji Ančia homestead, where you can finish your canoeing, too. Canoeing further, you will reach the wide pond of Baltoji Ančia. You will have to canoe about 500 meters until the next stop – Macevičiai village. You should get out of the canoe on the right side, where a big, sandy hill is seen. Here you will be delighted in wonderful landscapes and bends of the river. Continuing canoeing further, you will canoe at Baltoji Ančia pond. It takes 3-4 hours to reach hydroelectric power station, where you have to get out of water. If you want to canoe further, you will have to carry canoes across the road: the distance to the river is about 100 meters. When canoes are carried to the river, the real fun will begin. The route is called as extreme because there is full of unexpected challenges; thanks to them, you will have a great time. This route is a perfect possibility for those, who want to experience something new and spectacular because the river is wide, its stream is strong as well as there are many riffles, natural obstructions of nature, spectacular slopes.
