The old Old Believers’ cemetery and rural accommodation give Puožas two distinct reasons to stay. The cemetery introduces a cultural and historical theme, while the accommodation is described as offering overnight stays and hall rental. When choosing where to stay, you can therefore decide whether the village’s history or the practical options for overnight stays and use of the space matter most to you.

Location, views and directions

According to the local community, Puožas is 12 km from Kupiškis. The local community also describes the village as being on Lake Puožas. From the accommodation, the view takes in trees and a lake. These details refer to different scales: the first locate the village, while the view describes what you can see from the house. If being near the water is important to you, you can therefore distinguish between the village’s location and the specific view from the accommodation. Kupiškis serves as a reference point.

A local blog post from 2014 gives the Kupiškis–Rokiškis road and a turnoff towards Adomynė as directions. Since this description is older, check the current route before setting off. The distance is a general indication of location, while the road description identifies an access route. Use both details to prepare, but check the older route information separately before you leave.

A protected cultural heritage site

The old Old Believers’ cemetery is in Puožas and is a state-protected cultural heritage site. A municipal inspection dated 20 November 2025 recorded the site and its protected status; it also noted a surviving monument and occasional flooding of the grounds. The history of the Old Believers is a cultural and historical theme in Puožas’s local history, and the cemetery provides a tangible local point of reference. The protected status identifies the site as cultural heritage; the monument, by contrast, is a specific surviving feature of the cemetery itself.

Accommodation and spaces

According to the available description, the rural accommodation “Puožo poilsio namai” in Puožas offers overnight stays and hall rental. The description lists relaxation rooms for up to 40 people, most of which have private toilets, as well as two halls. According to the description, the house’s lights are switched on after dark. These details do not indicate whether the accommodation is currently operating or which services are available. Check directly with the provider before booking. The details relate to different planning needs: overnight stays, relaxation rooms and hall rental are not the same use. The capacity of up to 40 people refers to the relaxation rooms. If you are enquiring for a group, specify whether you need an overnight stay, a relaxation room or a hall, and check the current details for that use.
