Maleišiai

Maleišiai lies in the wooded country northeast of Svėdasai, where the small Maleiša stream joins the waters of the Šetekšna. This rural settlement belongs to the landscape of northeastern Aukštaitija, between the districts of Anykščiai and Rokiškis. Its old farmsteads preserve the arrangement of houses and barns along a village street, a reminder of the agricultural communities that shaped this part of Lithuania. Fields and wooded ground surround the village, far from the grand-ducal seats farther south.
