The Neris valleys along the route are truly impressive and enchant with their unique play of terrain and colors at all times of the year. A particularly eye-pleasing panorama of the Neris valley opens at Ausiutiškės. From the observation tower, you can see the beginning of the Velniakampis loop thrown by the Neris - the largest over the 510 km length of the river, and take a look at the surrounding area surrounded by pine forests. Before turning to the northeast at Ausiutiškės, at this point Neris still makes a small convex arc to the south. This is the place where the river bed obviously changes its direction, "surrendering" to the influence of the deep tectonic zone in the southwest-northeast direction. Here Neris has already eroded 35-40 m and is destroying the moraine of the penultimate glacier named after Medininkai, which blocks the river's way to the east, so Neris suddenly turns to the north and already behind the Ausiutiškės cliff completes the right turn of Ausiutiškės and flows almost 4 km to the northeast.
