At Dusetų skulptūrų parkas, art meets a recurring regional event: new works are installed during an annual gathering of people from the region. The works are created through projects organized by Dusetų dailės galerija. For your selection, this connection is a specific indication that you can experience culture in Dusetos not only through historic architecture, but also through sculpture and community-focused art projects.

Another cultural landmark is the bell tower of Dusetų Švč. Trejybės bažnyčia. The brick tower has been preserved, is four storeys high, and is designed in a style ranging from late Baroque to early Classicism. Its architectural classification makes it particularly interesting if you are interested in transitions between stylistic periods. Its height and brick construction also give you a clear sense of its form, without requiring extensive art-historical knowledge.

On the shore of Lake Sartai is a recreation area with a range of features: pavilions and paths, as well as swings, an information board, a small bridge, and a landing stage. The sculpture park is also part of this area. The amenities described therefore range from spending time outdoors to viewing art, all within the same recreation area; however, these features do not indicate a specific program or set visitor route.

If you are looking at Dusetos from the perspective of water and landscape, Lake Sartai is a clear local landmark. The listed facilities help you get a concrete sense of the recreation area, rather than viewing it simply as a lakeside viewpoint. Check the condition of the facilities before your visit. This keeps your plans grounded in the features available, without assuming that every individual element will remain unchanged until your arrival.

The Sartai Regional Park Visitor Center adds an interactive activity to the lakeside experience. Visitors can use a pedal-powered generator to produce electricity that illuminates a model of Lake Sartai displayed on a table. This makes the connection to the lake tangible: instead of simply looking at a model, visitors generate its illumination through their own movement. If you like to include hands-on activities in your visit, this is a specific point of difference from the lakeside recreation area.

You can also distinguish between the cultural attractions: the bell tower offers an architectural point of interest, while the sculpture park is associated with new works installed annually and projects by the art gallery.
