The grinding stones of the Pakaso Water Mill were once turned by the Tauragna Stream, which flows into Pakaso Lake near the mill. Built in the 19th century, the mill is surrounded by a beautiful legend. According to the tale, a miller lived in the mill with his beautiful long-haired daughter. One night, a foreign merchant arrived at the mill and asked for shelter. The miller welcomed him hospitably. The next day, the merchant disappeared without saying goodbye. It turned out that he had seduced the miller's daughter and left. Heartbroken, the daughter waited for the merchant in vain, cried, and eventually drowned herself in the lake. It is said that when the wind blows, the lake adorns itself with rippling bands, believed to be the hair of the miller's drowned daughter. Incidentally, the name of the lake is derived from the word "kasa," which means "braid" in Lithuanian.
