• The local community describes Puožas as a village on Lake Puožas.
• A municipal inspection dated November 20, 2025, lists the Old Believer cemetery in Puožas as state-protected cultural heritage.
• The inspection notes that a monument has been preserved; the cemetery grounds are occasionally flooded.

The local community describes Puožas as being located on Lake Puožas. The lake is therefore a reference point for the village’s location. The Old Believer cemetery provides another point of reference: it is in the village and is listed as state-protected cultural heritage in the municipal inspection dated November 20, 2025. The assessment also notes that a monument has been preserved in the cemetery.

The character of this place also includes a practical consideration: the cemetery grounds are occasionally flooded. If you plan to visit the cemetery, bear this in mind and ask locally about conditions. This helps distinguish the site’s cultural significance from the practical conditions for visiting.

A local description gives the distance between Puožas and Kupiškis as 12 kilometers. It does not specify how this distance was measured. So use the figure as a general indication of the distance between the places, not as a confirmed road distance.

A local set of directions from 2014 names the Kupiškis–Rokiškis road and a turnoff toward Adomynė as the way to reach Puožas. The distance and directions provide different kinds of guidance: one places Puožas in relation to Kupiškis, while the other gives a road direction. Since the directions date from 2014 and do not confirm current road conditions, check the route against up-to-date information before setting out.

The regional tourism portal lists the rural accommodation “Puožo poilsio namai,” offering overnight stays and hall rental. Services may change. If you are specifically planning to rent a hall or stay overnight, confirm the current details and availability in advance.

A tourism description of the rural accommodation “Puožas Rest House” mentions views of trees and a lake. It also describes lighting that is switched on after dark, rest rooms for up to 40 people, and two halls. Most rest rooms have their own toilets. These specific details may matter when choosing a place if room capacity, sanitary facilities, or the option of using a hall are important for your stay. If needed, check in advance which details are current.
