In the 13th century Kernavė was probably the first Lithuanian state capital. At that time it was a wooden town of feudal artisans and merchants and one of the major economic centers of the country. Five fortified mounds served to protect the Duke’s castle and the town. There are more than one thousand of these ancient mounds in Lithuania , but this is the only place where you will find so many of them together.

Tour to the Hill of Crosses near Šiauliai

Šiauliai is the fourth largest city of Lithuania. By the 15th century Siauliai was a relatively large town. Today there are 150.000 inhabitants. We will visit the Hill of Crosses near Siauliai, where the Pope John Paul II held the most highly attended mass in our country – during his visit to Lithuania in 1993, an old mound from the days of the crusaders that has sprouted thousands of crosses in every imaginable size and form. This has always been as is now a place of pilgrimage. Today a veritable sea of crosses – hundreds of thousands of them – serves as a monument to Lithuanians’ attachment to their religion.

Tour 'Jewish Vilnius'

Lithuanian Jews can be traced back to the 13th century. The classic Lithuanian Jew (Litvak) is known in folklore for a love of education, no-nonsense straight-talk and certain sardonic wit. Jews were settled in Vilna, as the capital was and still is known in Jewish culture from around the time of its founding in 1323. By the 18th century Vilna had become the world capital of traditional religious (Talmudic) learning, often referred to as the Jerusalem of Lithuania, or Jerusalem of the North. Towering over the many great Jewish figures the city has produced is Gaon of Vilna. Between the wars, Vilna was a bustling international centre of modern Yiddish culture and scholarship. Within a few years 94% of the 250,000 or so Litvaks, including the 80,000 Jews living in Vilnius at that time perished in the Holocaust, the highest percentage of genocide in Europe. Today small community of 5,000 or so Litvaks makes bold efforts to maintain its heritage.

Tour to geographical center of Europe

The Geographical Centre of Europe is in Vilnius district, 26 km from Vilnius. In 1989, a group of French scientists from the institute announced that the geographical centre of Europe was just to the north of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius – 26 kilometres to be exact – near the village of Purnuskes. Every year the number of tourists visiting Lithuania is constantly growing. With this in mind, the State Tourism Department at the Ministry of Economy and the Vilnius District Administration began give the geographical centre of Europe greater visibility. On 1 May 2004, the date Lithuania entered the European Union, the sculptor Gediminas Jokubonis unveiled at the site his composition of column of white granite, the top of which is rimmed by a crown of stars.

Tour to Aukštaitija National Park

The first stop on this tour will be in the Geographical Center of Europe, not far from Vilnius. In 1989, a group of French scientists from the institute announced that the geographical centre of Europe was just to the north of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius – 26 kilometres to be exact – near the village of Purnuskes. Then we‘ll go to the Moletai Observatory and have a posibility to enjoy beautifull panoramic view from telescope tower. Our way to Aukstaitija National Park will go though very old Labanoras Wood. There we will stop to visit Fishing Museum. At over 400 km2, Lithuania’s first national park (1974) offers a breathtaking break away from it all. Thirty rivers, over one hundred lakes, large wooded areas featuring 200-year-old-plus oaks, marshes, and villages entirely overlooked by the creeping claws of progress all make for the ideal antidote to life in the last lane. Although by no means complete, the following information represents the high points of the region. What interesting to see in this National Park? Ginuciai Water Mill – supposedly hounted by the devil, and nearly 200 years old, the water mill is the only one in the region that has preserved all its original working apparatus and visitors are free to snoop around its guts. Ladakalnis – with a peak that measures an impressive (for Lithuania) 175 m, Ladakalnis offers sensational panoramic views of the dense forestland and lakes below. Ancient Beekeeping Museum – founded in 1974 by Bronius Kazlas the beekeeping museum is one of the oddest things you’ll ever come across.
