Before Bern\u0101ti EuroVelo turns to old asphalt road trough this long village with small private tourism accommodations, cafe, shop, may be in future possible place for repair service for bikes. After Bern\u0101ti main path EuroVelo separates in two opportunities. You can get a very busy asphalt road for all distance to Lithuanian border. Other alternative route will be guided for Baltic Bicycle Tour 2001+ and is the best chance to enjoy nature and adventures to turn after Bern\u0101ti to gravel, sandy, but strong beach, trails along grass and sand.

Near Pape you will have one of the two possibilities to see in Europe (the first one was in the Netherlands) wild horses. These species were artificially renewed from domestic ones in the Netherlands. Their tasks are to graze grass on loans with rich biodiversity not to allow them to be covered by bushes. Wild horses live in large territory but everybody is allowed to enter it (but follow regulations!).. There is an interesting lighthouse at Pape, too. There is a large diversity of birds in the lake Pape. There is built special tower for tourists to watch them. You will have the opportunity to do it in early morning because there will be a camp place at Pape. This is a place to stay for followers along main road, too.

It is thought that many of the town layout\u2019s elements are authentic in essence because there is no data that they were ever changed (the form of the square was the only one that was changed). Both of the cult buildings (Catholic and Orthodox churches) were slightly brightened. Moreover, the church lacks a tower. Semeli\u0161k\u0117s\u2019 central composition is original due to the wood houses typical to the architecture of Eastern Lithuania.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800748\"><\/a>Au\u0161tadvaris Regional Park<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">It was founded in 1992 for the purposes of protection of valuable Verksn\u0117 and Streva rivers\u2019 landscape. The park takes up a territory of 15350 hectares, the bigger part of which are forests. There are 72 lakes; the biggest is called Vikoksnis.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800749\"><\/a>Au\u0161tadvaris<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The town is situated on the right Verkne river\u2019s shore, not far form the lakes of Marcius and Skreblius.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The town is announced an urban reserve, the purpose of which is to preserve the planned and spatial structure of Auk\u0161tadvaris and its nature\u2019s and cultural values. It is surrounded by a kind of crown of 250 hills with a multitude of lakes and thick forests. The town of Auk\u0161tadvaris was mentioned already in XV cent. as a grand duke\u2019s estate situated near the historical royal road joining the castles of Vilnius, Trakai, and Bir\u0161tonas. The town protects a former St. Dominique monastery built in the first half of the XVII cent., but later rebuilt a few times. Also, it protects neogothic elements of the Church of the Christ\u2019s Change, built in 1913. The farmstead of Au\u0161tadvaris is also left form the older times. Further, its park guards a huge oak tree, now called the oak of Adam Mickevi\u010dius.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800750\"><\/a>Punia<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">This is a town of a well-known historical past \u2013 the reserve of historical landscape. The sight of Punia \u2013 the mound that is frequently called the hill of Margis. It is one of the biggest ones in Lithuania (in the 16-17 cent, the place of the castle and the battle with the crusaders). It is situated in the junction of the rivers Nemunas and Punele. The name of Punia became known due to the historical tradition to connect the place with the mentioned in 1336 in the writings Pilenia, whose leader was a brave hero Margiris. It is thought that there stood a famous castle of Pil\u0117nai on a mound. Its defenders burnt themselves because they did not want to surrender to the crusaders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In the written sources of the 15 cent, Punia was a well-known settlement with the castle and a market square. Punia\u2019s district was also mentioned. The first church was built in 1425.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">During the 16-17 cent, it became one of the most important ethnographical centers of Lithuania. On Punia\u2019s mound, on the place of the former wooden castle, there is a magnificent palace now, the residence of the Punia\u2019s authorities. In 1503, Punia got the rights to be called Madgeburg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Punia was destroyed during the Northern war. The town and the palace on the mound were burnt. In 1857, Punia\u2019s church was built. Its sculptures of the 17-19 cent are ones of the most well-known cultural monuments.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800751\"><\/a>Nemunas Loops Regional Park<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The most valuable place of Punia\u2019s loop is the unique landscape of Punia\u2019s pinewood that preserved the features of the first primitive Lithuanian woods. These murmuring 100-yer-old trees are priceless treasures not only to scholars. This is one of the most valuable woods in Lithuania, the biggest Lithuanian wood in the river\u2019s valley (more than 2700 ha). Foresters say that having come to Alytus and not visiting Punia\u2019s wood is the same as going to Rome and not seeing the Pope.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800752\"><\/a>Services<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800753\"><\/a>Accommodation<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Rest house \u201cDeimantas\u201d, Semeli\u0161k\u0117s, tel.

In the crusaders\u2019 chronicles, Bir\u0161tonas is mentioned form 14 cent. On a high hill of Vytautas, there stood a wooden castle \u2013 one of the castles\u2019 chains which protected the land form the crusaders\u2019 attacks. After the battle of \u017dalgiris when the crusaders stopped attacking Lithuania, the castles lost their defense purposes. Later, all the animals were driven to the grand loop of Nemunas near Bir\u0161tonas from the nearby woods and being hunted there. The history of the resort is not that long. Although the spurring salty springs are mentioned already in the 15 cent., only in 1846 people started to use their healing qualities. This year is considered the date of the resort\u2019s foundation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800758\"><\/a>Prienai<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Prienai\u2019s estate was first mentioned in 1502 in the writings of the grand duke Alexander.

Its building is the industrial historical monument now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">One of the places of cultural heritage is the water mill. In 1997, international tree carvers\u2019 symposium took place. The whole row of wooden sculptures on the topic of \u201cNature \u2013 the Spring of Culture\u201d was left after it.

Places of interests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"western\">Arlavi\u0161kiai juniper bushes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"western\">It is strongly recommended to visit the barn pulled up from the bottom of the lagoon.

In 1450, the documents of Gdansk\u2019s traders mention Vilkija\u2019s customhouse, the first in Lithuania, by the way. The customhouse stimulated Vilkija\u2019s growth. At this time, not only water, but also a land trading road form Vilnius to Karaliau\u010dius went through Vilkija. In the 16 cent., Vilkija\u2019s district was formed; it became the estate of a grand duke. Later, Vilkija acquired the rights of a town. Even form afar, on a high Nemunas\u2019 shore, you could see two redbrick towers of the neogothic church of St. Jurgis.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800790\"><\/a>Sered\u017eius<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"en-US\">There is an interesting mound called the hill of Palemon, where the Roman grand duke Palemon, who fled from Neronas\u2019s persecution in the 1<\/span><sup><span lang=\"en-US\">st<\/span><\/sup><span lang=\"en-US\"> century AC, is buried. This legend is mentioned in the chronicles of Lithuania. Contemporary historians think that there stood a castle of Pie\u0161tv\u0117 on a hill that defended itself from the crusaders in 1293 \u2013 1363. On a small hill, there is the estate of Sered\u017eius. 1 km to the west of the town, there stands XIX century classical Belveder\u2019s palace.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800791\"><\/a>Veliuona<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The river Nemunas used to be the nature\u2019s border with the Prussian lands, where already in the 13 cent., the crusaders\u2019 order was established. Wanting to defend themselves from the attackers, the Lithuanians built castles. One of those castles was the castle of Viliuona that stood on a mound where the rivers Nemunas and Viliuona joint. Now, this mound is called the grave of Gediminas. In 1337, the crusaders had built their own castle there, called Bajerburg. It was supposed to help them destroy Viliuona and open up the ways to the land\u2019s depth. It stood on the hills of Pilai\u010diai, to the West from Viliuona. Even nowadays you could see those little hills for centuries having polished by the floods caused by Nemunas. In 1412, Vytautas built a new stone castle in Viliuona on a mound that is called the Castle Rock and that is in the West from the mound of Gediminas\u2019 grave. During the late centuries, Viliuona used to be a quiet developing town that, in 1500, was granted the rights to be called Madgeburg. A monument of renaissance culture \u2013 built in 1636-1644 the church of St. Maria\u2019s ascendance to heavens (rebuilt in 1887 and 1930). The estate of Viliuona, the monument of classical architecture of the beginning of the 19 cent., is the former Viluina\u2019s farmstead with a park containing some rare species of trees; among them is the only in Lithuania the yellow tulip-tree.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800792\"><\/a>The castle of Panemun\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The castle is situated on the high shore of Nemunas hidden between the trees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The construction of its representative rooms has started in around the year 1604 by a forest trader J.Eperjesas, who moved from Hungary, and finished in about 1610. \u017demaitija noblemen Geldaugai bought the castle in 1759 and rebuilt it in their way. It acquired some classical features. The castle and Galdaugai\u2019s wealth got into the property of czar\u2019s Russia\u2019s treasury. In 1867, it became ruled over by a lord named Puslovkis. In 1925, the castle was sold in the auction. During the times of the World War II, it was harshly damaged and, in time, fell in at all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">During 1961-1962, the castle was reconstructed and its surrounding and the cascade system of the ponds were restored. On his trip along the Nemunas river in 1903, a famous Russian painter N.Rerich painted the castle.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800793\"><\/a>The castle of Raudon\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">After the battle of \u017dalgiris in 1410, the trade increased and the Nemunas\u2019 feudists started getting rich very quickly. One of them, K.Kirsensteinas, even built a residence in Raudon\u0117, which is now considered a civil building of the early renaissance of our country. However, up to these days, the walls of the first rooms had greatly changed. In the 18 cent., Raudon\u0117 got into the hands of Olendskiai. This renaissance castle ensemble with a closed yard turned into a castle with an open one. Around 1810, Olendskiai sold the castle to the earl P.Zubov who later reconstructed the interior. Zubov\u2019s daughter Sofia rebuilt the castle again in 1854-1877, and it acquired neogothic featured. This very version of it we see today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">During the times of Nazis, it was severely damaged. In 1965, it was restored and added to a school. The castle is surrounded by an old park that has many unique species of trees, such as the Siberian fir, the cedar pine, and the gray walnut. The oak of Gediminas is one of the park\u2019s sights.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800794\"><\/a>\u0160ilin\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The small museum is established in \u0160ilin\u0117\u2019s reconstructed inn. It is interesting due to the modern concept that represents the mode of life and crafts of the old time near Nemunas\u2019 inhabitants. Because the museum is designed, first of all, for the new generator, its exhibits are not decaying behind the glass, but rather allowed to be touched, taken into hands and tested. Here also established Nemunas region RP infocentre.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800795\"><\/a>Regional Park of Panemun\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The park stretches along both shores of Nemunas (there are also 72 small rivers). The most picturesque valleys with the impressive gullies are near the rivers Armena, Kartupis, Nyka, and Nykut\u0117. On dry slopes, there are some unique warm-liking plant communities left. In Gelgaudi\u0161k\u0117s Park, there grows the thickest pine-tree in Lithuania. Especially rich and interesting is the cultural heritage. It was discussed earlier describing the park settlements of Veliuona, Sered\u017eiai, Raudon\u0117, and Panemun\u0117. Very interesting is the park settlement Plok\u0161\u010diai separated by the river-street.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800796\"><\/a>Services<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800797\"><\/a>Events and entertainment<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Veliuona castle;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Belvederis castle and park, Sered\u017eius;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Raudon\u0117 castle and mill, castle tower;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Rock music festival, in the park of Raudon\u0117 castle, tel.

But in 1422 year because of the Meln Peace agreement there was made the board through Smalininkai and then it was dependent to Ordain. There was built the port in this town in 1888.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800805\"><\/a>Vie\u0161vil\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">There is large forest in the surrounding. Also there are small lake and very nice park in Vie\u0161vil\u0117. Not far away you can visit the mound. Vie\u0161vil\u0117 name was mentioned already in 1402. From ancient times there is small but cozy church. Vie\u0161vil\u0117 became the wood manufacturing center from the end of 19 century.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800806\"><\/a>Vilky\u0161kiai<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Having shown respect to the resting Vyd\u016bnas, it is worth to go to Vilky\u010diai and admire the left valuable urban set with the yard, built in 1770-71 evangelical church. The first church was built in 1561, but, in 1758, the Russians ruined it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">By the way, the plague of 1710 greatly emptied the villages of the eastern Prussians. After that a lot of colonists arrived here. This period was called the colonization of Zacburg people. In the center, there stands a small esthetical monument that the Austrian government provided in 1998. Nearby, there is an old monument dedicated to the perished in the WWI people of Vilky\u010diai perish.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800807\"><\/a>The pine-tree of witches<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">18 trunk pine is the nature\u2019s monument.

There are quite a lot of buildings of a farmer baron Conrad fon Dreseler\u2019s estate \u2013 a distillery, a stable, a warehouse, servant\u2019s rooms with decorative elements, such as typical to this land wooden columns. In 1907 hundreds of stallions were sold in \u0160ereitlaukis. Mostly high class Arabic horses was held here. This is an impressive set testifying about the rich farmer life. During the times of independence (before the war), a walking boarder point and a customhouse used to be here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">A modern view of \u0160ereitlaukis is quite terrible. Local inhabitants are gone; only newcomers (colonists) from the Great Lithuania. Industrial culture also made its harm &#8211; former fashionable buildings are bulked by the worthless constructions, sheds and barracks from all the sides. Undoubtedly, the Soviet occupation had an impact on the downfall of the Lithuanian mentality. However, nowadays, this Lithuanian Shanghai is worth visiting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Nearby, there is a mound, the hat of Napoleon. Now, there exists a legend that it was formed by the soldiers of Napoleon\u2019s army who poured it with their hats.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800809\"><\/a>Bit\u0117nai<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Settled near Rambynas the village of Bit\u0117nai meets travelers with a huge colony of starks in the summer time. In one of the local farmstead, there live not less than 5 families of them. Interestingly, this colony settled in farmstead where, during the German reign, youth center used to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The most important place in Bit\u0117nai is the reconstructed farmer printing-house of Martynas Jankus. There is rather modest exposition about this important to the Lithuanian history person\u2019s life. Working as the head of the Little Lithuania\u2019s resume committee, Martynas played a decisive role in the revolt of 1923. The building is renovated and invites you with shining from afar lights.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800810\"><\/a>Rambynas<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cStanding on the other shore Rambynas is barely 150feel high (47m), it is held a high and holly rock by Lithuania\u2019s\u2019 specialists. Separated from the river only by a narrow border, Rambynas looks naked and upright\u2026From very Smolensk and Moscow, here came grand dukes and kings with sacrificial gifts that they put on the cult stone. Having touched the stone, the sick got healed. Just married couples climbed the rock praying for the blessing for their marriage; women in child-breath thanked for the recovery and asked the blessing for newborn. Still in the beginning of the century, there was not a single wedding ceremony that passing by did not climb the rock in order to pray by the stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Otto Glagau \u2013 the German traveler and journalist of the beginning of the XIX century.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800811\"><\/a>Services<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800812\"><\/a>Events and entertainment<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">K.Glinskis museum, Vyd\u016bno str. 45, Jurbarkas, tel.

Even the Evangelical church built in 1705 remained. Unfortunately, none of the seaside settlements can be proud of the fish now. There were times when lots of various kinds of fish were caught here. But now many of them are either disappearing or are on the verge of it.

However, bad weather conditions prevent them. For that reason, in 1863, the digging works were started. The channel was finished during I870-1871French-Prussian war by the French prisoners. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800841\"><\/a>The ground of Kairiai<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">This is the heritage of the military army, now owned by the Lithuanian troops.

This is a settlement where Neolithic inhumation was found. In 1372, it was mentioned as Rositen. In 1330, the crusaders built a castle in the attempt to stop the attacks of the Lithuanians. In the 16 cent. in Rasyte, there was a nice brickfield.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">O.Glogan wrote about Rasyte in 1869,\u201d&#8230;across is a big and wide lagoon gulf. Quite big fishermen\u2019s sailing boats float on its waters, Rasyte is the biggest, nicest and the richest Spit\u2019s settlement. Here, the owner of the lagoon and Spit resides\u2026\u201d The contemporary stone church is built in 1873. To the south from the church, there is a long and covered with tiles house (a present lumber mill).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In 1907, the first Lithuanian ornithology station was established here. In 1922, it moved to a 2-story building built in 1901 (across it is a school built I 1738) that works even up-to-date. The station\u2019s founder is a well-known otnythologist Jonas Tymanas (1863-1983). His important work about Rasyte, published in 1927, made the village and the author himself famous worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In 1864-1903, the dunes\u2019 inspector Francas Efas 1828-1904) worked in Rasyte and made a lot while struggling with the sand; he was the first one who became worried about Rasyte\u2019s fate because it and other Spit\u2019s villages were threatened by the upcoming dunes.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800867\"><\/a>Lesnoje (\u0160arkuva)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">A former village of the Curonian Spit).The Curonian Spit was inhabited a long time ago. 1-4 cent Graves with the found there Roman empires coins testifies that. Bowls with ashes, amber spindles and metal and iron artifacts were also found. In another place there are 11-13 cent. graves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Not everyone knows that the old inhabitants of \u0160arkuva were not Kurshes but the Sembs that lived here before 14 cent. In 1677, the last inhabitant who spoke the Semb language died there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In 1715, \u0160arkuva was covered with the sliding dunes and the village moved to another place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In 1797, O. Glogan Document states, \u201c\u2026the ghost of famine made the people wander. The inhabitants of other villages did not like them. There appeared various rumors about the wanderers, these were called the Lagoon pirates\u201d. The stone church was built in 1901.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Near \u0160arkuva, in the old \u0160arkuva, to be precise, the Spit is the narrowest because the sea rips it. Already in 1904, it was started to be reinforced because the danger of loosing an important road from Karaliau\u010diai to Klaip\u0117da was to be faced. 4500-long sand pier was built here in 1642. But in 1791, the sea water broke through to the lagoon. The last time it happened in the winter of 1982\/83. Along from \u0160arkuva to the south extends the 19 cent. forest-farm-stead, called \u0160akalin\u0117. Probably, in the 15-18 cent. there were hawk hunting schools with the center in \u0160arkuva. The hawks were tamed in this school.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\" lang=\"de-DE\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800868\"><\/a> Zelenogradsk (Crantz, Krantas)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The resort-city based on the high steep coast of the Baltic Sea. From the old times, it was called Krantas (the shore), or Krants, by the local people. In the first half of the 20 cent., it was also called Pajurkrantis (the sea coast).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">When the Lithuanians through the Curonian Spit could not suddenly entered into the stolen by the crusaders land of Semba, the master Konrad had built Noihauz castle in the South from present-time Krantas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In the 15 cent. Krantas, there was an inn. With time, Krantas grew into a resort (5000 inhabitants) with annual 18000 visitors in the summer. Between the wars, a lot of summers, resting houses and convalescent houses were rebuilt. In 1829, the place was visited by Lithuanian and Polish poet Adamas Mickevi\u010dius.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800869\"><\/a>Services<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a

When Auk\u0161tagiriai got the status of an independent parish, the priest P.Korzitzkijus built a church here. There is 23,8% of Lithuanians here. The services were held in Lithuanian. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800894\"><\/a>Polesk (Labguva)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Labguva is an old town 3 km from the southern shore of the Curonian spit. Deimana or Laba in older times, flows through the town. In 1697 Deimena was joined by one channel with Nemunas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In 1258, in Zabguva, there stood Semb\u0117s castle and a small Settlement near it. The crusaders burned the castle in 1277 and settled there. In 1288 they built a new stone castle. Before the 16 cent. it was rebuilt and reconstucted several times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In winter of 1352, ruled by K\u0119stutis Lithuanians devastated Labguva and its neighborhood. Labguva castle served for the crusaders as an important resistance point in the battles with Prussians and Lithuanians. Now there is a ship building manufactory. In 1656.11.20 the contract with Labguva guaranteed the Prussian independence. During the 1710-1711 plague a lot of local Lithuanians died. Labguva was colonized, however, in the 19 cent., the services were still held in Lithuania.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">It is supposed that churches in Labguva near the castle appeared already in 1258. In the end of the 14 century in the west of the castle there was built a gothic church made of field stones. In 1871 it was renewed. During 1562-1587 one of the Lithuanian writing starters, Jonas Bretk\u016bnas, served here as a priest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">There served as a parson Jonas Bretk\u016bnas J.Bretk\u016bnas work made an impact on the evolution of Lithuanian language. He made a lot of innovations. His most important work is \u201cPostil\u0117\u201d (1591). This was the first illustrated Lithuanian book on the topic Holy writings. J. Bretk\u016bnas established a club of the old-times lovers and history researchers. We may call him the first Lithuanian historian.<\/p>\n<p>In around 1890 Jurgis Mik\u0161as moved to Labguva. When \u201cAu\u0161ra\u201d (newspaper) started its days, he was the first chairman of \u201cBirut\u0117\u201d committee and published a newspaper \u201cNemuno sargas\u201d (\u201cthe guard of Nemunas\u201d) in small Lithuania.

This is indeed not an easy route, especially the Vilnius \u2013 Ukmerg\u0117 stripe with quite a few gravel roads. However, it was tried to find some other passage from Vilnius to Ukmerg\u0117. The entire route is indeed interesting. It goes through 7 national parks, a half of which would not be familiar to the traveler. In Vilnius side we will pass by a very popular and liked by consents of pagan religion Neris park. We will also go through an interesting church of Suderv\u0117. Later, we will cross a rich with history town of K\u0117dainiai that has a tough downtown. There were moments in history when this town overtook even Vilnius due to its culture and development. Then, goes mystic and mysterious \u017demaitija with its Orvydai farmstead \u2013 shrine. If you choose this route, you will have to plan your time, weigh your strength and find lodging on your own. We suggest that you plan lodging places in the national parks if you have opportunities. The directorates are informed about the campaign; so they will offer all the necessary information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The length of the route about 430 km: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"> Vilnius \u20135\u2013 Pilait\u0117s region \u201314,5\u2013 \u010ceki\u0161k\u0117s \u20135\u2013 Suderv\u0117 \u20139,5\u2013 D\u016bk\u0161tos \u20134\u2013 Air\u0117nai \u20133\u2013 Mie\u017eionys \u20132,5\u2013 Kli\u0161abal\u0117 \u20132\u2013 Kernav\u0117 \u20132,5\u2013 Musninkai \u201314\u2013 Liukonys \u20134,5\u2013 Galvonai \u201314\u2013 Pabaiskas \u20139,5\u2013 Ukmerg\u0117 \u20132\u2013 Deltuva \u201321\u2013 Bukonys \u20132\u2013 Pasrau\u010diai \u20135,5\u2013 \u0160\u0117ta \u201316\u2013 K\u0117dainiai \u201312\u2013 Josvainiai \u201314,5\u2013 Jak\u0161iai \u20135\u2013 Paaluonys \u20131\u2013 G\u0117luva \u20130,5\u2013 Ariogala \u20135,5\u2013 Po\u017e\u0117\u010diai \u20134\u2013 Betygala \u20132\u2013 Berte\u0161kiai \u20133\u2013 Skirmanti\u0161k\u0117s \u20136\u2013 Kiaulakiai \u20136\u2013 Grudzi\u0161k\u0117s \u20132\u2013 Raseiniai \u201316\u2013 \u0160iluva \u20133\u2013 Roglai\u010diai \u20133\u2013 Tytuv\u0117nai \u20136\u2013 Pavydai \u201312\u2013 Kelm\u0117 \u20134\u2013 Kuke\u010diai \u201323\u2013 Kurtuv\u0117nai \u2013 10\u2013 Juodl\u0117s e\u017e. \u20133\u2013 \u0160auk\u0117nai \u20135,5\u2013 Ber\u017e\u0117nai \u201311,5\u2013 U\u017eventis \u20131\u2013 Dangvietai \u20139\u2013 \u017deduv\u0117nai \u20134\u2013 \u0160atrijos kalnas \u20132\u2013 Luok\u0117 \u20136\u2013 R\u016bdupiai \u20135,5\u2013 Vie\u0161v\u0117nai \u20132\u2013 Rainiai \u20134\u2013 Tel\u0161iai \u201310\u2013 Als\u0117d\u017eiai \u201317\u2013 Plateliai \u20135,5\u2013 Gintali\u0161k\u0117s \u20138\u2013 Laiviai \u20131\u2013 Salantai \u20135\u2013Kalnalis \u20131\u2013 Nasr\u0117nai \u20133\u2013 K\u016blup\u0117nai \u201317\u2013 Kretinga \u201315\u2013 Palanga \u20131\u2013 Nemirseta \u201310 \u2013 Karkl\u0117 \u20135\u2013 Klaip\u0117da.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800921\"><\/a>Vilnius<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Information about Vilnius in the publiocations -\u201cVilnius in Your Pocket\u201d <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u><a class=\"western\" href=\"http:\/\/www.inyourpocket.com\/Lithuania\/Vilnius_home.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">http:\/\/www.inyourpocket.com\/Lithuania\/Vilnius_home.shtml<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\"> (in Lithuanian and in English), internet: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u><a class=\"western\" href=\"http:\/\/www.vilnius.lt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">www.vilnius.lt<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800922\"><\/a>Neris Regional Park<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">It was established to protect an especially valued system of mid-rivers loops, communities of the arbors Neris valley, and rich cultural values.

Erosive D\u016bk\u0161ta valley, the river itself flowing through stones, and small rivers of Alios\u0117, \u010cekon\u0117 are of a special value. In D\u016bk\u0161ta natural reserve, the fragments of one of the biggest oakery in Lithuania are guarded.

The mounds of Buivydai, Briedeli\u0161kiai, Velniakampis, and Naujoji banks and the barrow of Karmazinai remind of ancestry\u2019s times. Very interesting is the church of D\u016bk\u0161tos\u2019 town made of stones, the farmstead of Paneriai estate with a park, and \u0160il\u0117nai village with the wooden chapel.

You may see ruins of these bombed ships, too. Near J\u016brmalciems you can see small private fishing boats where fishing is going on like in, old times\u2019\u2019. Near Pape you will have one of the two possibilities to see in Europe (the first one was in the Netherlands) wild horses. These species were artificially renewed from domestic ones in the Netherlands. Their tasks are to graze grass on loans with rich biodiversity not to allow them to be covered by bushes. Wild horses live in large territory but everybody is allowed to enter it (but follow regulations!).. There is an interesting lighthouse at Pape, too. There is a large diversity of birds in the lake Pape. There is built special tower for tourists to watch them. You will have the opportunity to do it in early morning because there will be a camp place at Pape. This is a place to stay for followers along main road, too. Closely to Pape you can see small nice ethnographical stile Lithuanian village. Then trail is going along wild meadows, pinafores, along dunes to Nida. Then little km gravel road to Lithuanian border. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800721\"><\/a> Useful information<\/h2>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"en-US\">Tourism infocentre<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"> Liep\u0101ja, Liel\u0101 str.11, tel. 3421002<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800722\"><\/a> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Accommodation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"western\">Sleeping place campground at Pape, alternatives to go main motored and stay at one of lot tourism farms near main road at N\u012bca.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800723\"><\/a> <span lang=\"en-US\">7<\/span><sup><span lang=\"en-US\">th<\/span><\/sup><span lang=\"en-US\"> day (27.07, Friday)<\/span><\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800724\"><\/a>Pape- Nida- Lithuanian border- Palanga- Klaip\u0117da<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Through Latvia 10km along grass, sand, gravel, then from \u0160ventoji to Klaipeda mainly asphalt bicycle path.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Please, remember that in Latvian side you are in nature protection area.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800725\"><\/a>Palanga<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The most interesting cultural heritage \u2013 the park, projected by Rene Andre.

It is thought that many of the town layout\u2019s elements are authentic in essence because there is no data that they were ever changed (the form of the square was the only one that was changed). Both of the cult buildings (Catholic and Orthodox churches) were slightly brightened. Moreover, the church lacks a tower. Semeli\u0161k\u0117s\u2019 central composition is original due to the wood houses typical to the architecture of Eastern Lithuania.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800748\"><\/a>Au\u0161tadvaris Regional Park<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">It was founded in 1992 for the purposes of protection of valuable Verksn\u0117 and Streva rivers\u2019 landscape.

It is surrounded by a kind of crown of 250 hills with a multitude of lakes and thick forests. The town of Auk\u0161tadvaris was mentioned already in XV cent. as a grand duke\u2019s estate situated near the historical royal road joining the castles of Vilnius, Trakai, and Bir\u0161tonas. The town protects a former St. Dominique monastery built in the first half of the XVII cent., but later rebuilt a few times. Also, it protects neogothic elements of the Church of the Christ\u2019s Change, built in 1913. The farmstead of Au\u0161tadvaris is also left form the older times. Further, its park guards a huge oak tree, now called the oak of Adam Mickevi\u010dius.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800750\"><\/a>Punia<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">This is a town of a well-known historical past \u2013 the reserve of historical landscape. The sight of Punia \u2013 the mound that is frequently called the hill of Margis. It is one of the biggest ones in Lithuania (in the 16-17 cent, the place of the castle and the battle with the crusaders). It is situated in the junction of the rivers Nemunas and Punele. The name of Punia became known due to the historical tradition to connect the place with the mentioned in 1336 in the writings Pilenia, whose leader was a brave hero Margiris. It is thought that there stood a famous castle of Pil\u0117nai on a mound. Its defenders burnt themselves because they did not want to surrender to the crusaders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In the written sources of the 15 cent, Punia was a well-known settlement with the castle and a market square. Punia\u2019s district was also mentioned. The first church was built in 1425.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">During the 16-17 cent, it became one of the most important ethnographical centers of Lithuania. On Punia\u2019s mound, on the place of the former wooden castle, there is a magnificent palace now, the residence of the Punia\u2019s authorities. In 1503, Punia got the rights to be called Madgeburg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Punia was destroyed during the Northern war. The town and the palace on the mound were burnt. In 1857, Punia\u2019s church was built. Its sculptures of the 17-19 cent are ones of the most well-known cultural monuments.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800751\"><\/a>Nemunas Loops Regional Park<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The most valuable place of Punia\u2019s loop is the unique landscape of Punia\u2019s pinewood that preserved the features of the first primitive Lithuanian woods.

This is one of the most valuable woods in Lithuania, the biggest Lithuanian wood in the river\u2019s valley (more than 2700 ha). Foresters say that having come to Alytus and not visiting Punia\u2019s wood is the same as going to Rome and not seeing the Pope.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800752\"><\/a>Services<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800753\"><\/a>Accommodation<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Rest house \u201cDeimantas\u201d, Semeli\u0161k\u0117s, tel.

In 1450, the documents of Gdansk\u2019s traders mention Vilkija\u2019s customhouse, the first in Lithuania, by the way. The customhouse stimulated Vilkija\u2019s growth. At this time, not only water, but also a land trading road form Vilnius to Karaliau\u010dius went through Vilkija. In the 16 cent., Vilkija\u2019s district was formed; it became the estate of a grand duke. Later, Vilkija acquired the rights of a town. Even form afar, on a high Nemunas\u2019 shore, you could see two redbrick towers of the neogothic church of St. Jurgis.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800790\"><\/a>Sered\u017eius<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"en-US\">There is an interesting mound called the hill of Palemon, where the Roman grand duke Palemon, who fled from Neronas\u2019s persecution in the 1<\/span><sup><span lang=\"en-US\">st<\/span><\/sup><span lang=\"en-US\"> century AC, is buried. This legend is mentioned in the chronicles of Lithuania. Contemporary historians think that there stood a castle of Pie\u0161tv\u0117 on a hill that defended itself from the crusaders in 1293 \u2013 1363. On a small hill, there is the estate of Sered\u017eius. 1 km to the west of the town, there stands XIX century classical Belveder\u2019s palace.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800791\"><\/a>Veliuona<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The river Nemunas used to be the nature\u2019s border with the Prussian lands, where already in the 13 cent., the crusaders\u2019 order was established. Wanting to defend themselves from the attackers, the Lithuanians built castles. One of those castles was the castle of Viliuona that stood on a mound where the rivers Nemunas and Viliuona joint. Now, this mound is called the grave of Gediminas. In 1337, the crusaders had built their own castle there, called Bajerburg. It was supposed to help them destroy Viliuona and open up the ways to the land\u2019s depth. It stood on the hills of Pilai\u010diai, to the West from Viliuona. Even nowadays you could see those little hills for centuries having polished by the floods caused by Nemunas. In 1412, Vytautas built a new stone castle in Viliuona on a mound that is called the Castle Rock and that is in the West from the mound of Gediminas\u2019 grave. During the late centuries, Viliuona used to be a quiet developing town that, in 1500, was granted the rights to be called Madgeburg. A monument of renaissance culture \u2013 built in 1636-1644 the church of St. Maria\u2019s ascendance to heavens (rebuilt in 1887 and 1930). The estate of Viliuona, the monument of classical architecture of the beginning of the 19 cent., is the former Viluina\u2019s farmstead with a park containing some rare species of trees; among them is the only in Lithuania the yellow tulip-tree.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800792\"><\/a>The castle of Panemun\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The castle is situated on the high shore of Nemunas hidden between the trees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The construction of its representative rooms has started in around the year 1604 by a forest trader J.Eperjesas, who moved from Hungary, and finished in about 1610. \u017demaitija noblemen Geldaugai bought the castle in 1759 and rebuilt it in their way. It acquired some classical features. The castle and Galdaugai\u2019s wealth got into the property of czar\u2019s Russia\u2019s treasury. In 1867, it became ruled over by a lord named Puslovkis. In 1925, the castle was sold in the auction. During the times of the World War II, it was harshly damaged and, in time, fell in at all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">During 1961-1962, the castle was reconstructed and its surrounding and the cascade system of the ponds were restored. On his trip along the Nemunas river in 1903, a famous Russian painter N.Rerich painted the castle.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800793\"><\/a>The castle of Raudon\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">After the battle of \u017dalgiris in 1410, the trade increased and the Nemunas\u2019 feudists started getting rich very quickly. One of them, K.Kirsensteinas, even built a residence in Raudon\u0117, which is now considered a civil building of the early renaissance of our country. However, up to these days, the walls of the first rooms had greatly changed. In the 18 cent., Raudon\u0117 got into the hands of Olendskiai. This renaissance castle ensemble with a closed yard turned into a castle with an open one. Around 1810, Olendskiai sold the castle to the earl P.Zubov who later reconstructed the interior. Zubov\u2019s daughter Sofia rebuilt the castle again in 1854-1877, and it acquired neogothic featured. This very version of it we see today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">During the times of Nazis, it was severely damaged. In 1965, it was restored and added to a school. The castle is surrounded by an old park that has many unique species of trees, such as the Siberian fir, the cedar pine, and the gray walnut. The oak of Gediminas is one of the park\u2019s sights.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800794\"><\/a>\u0160ilin\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The small museum is established in \u0160ilin\u0117\u2019s reconstructed inn. It is interesting due to the modern concept that represents the mode of life and crafts of the old time near Nemunas\u2019 inhabitants. Because the museum is designed, first of all, for the new generator, its exhibits are not decaying behind the glass, but rather allowed to be touched, taken into hands and tested. Here also established Nemunas region RP infocentre.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800795\"><\/a>Regional Park of Panemun\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The park stretches along both shores of Nemunas (there are also 72 small rivers). The most picturesque valleys with the impressive gullies are near the rivers Armena, Kartupis, Nyka, and Nykut\u0117. On dry slopes, there are some unique warm-liking plant communities left. In Gelgaudi\u0161k\u0117s Park, there grows the thickest pine-tree in Lithuania. Especially rich and interesting is the cultural heritage. It was discussed earlier describing the park settlements of Veliuona, Sered\u017eiai, Raudon\u0117, and Panemun\u0117. Very interesting is the park settlement Plok\u0161\u010diai separated by the river-street.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800796\"><\/a>Services<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800797\"><\/a>Events and entertainment<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Veliuona castle;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Belvederis castle and park, Sered\u017eius;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Raudon\u0117 castle and mill, castle tower;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Rock music festival, in the park of Raudon\u0117 castle, tel.

But in 1422 year because of the Meln Peace agreement there was made the board through Smalininkai and then it was dependent to Ordain. There was built the port in this town in 1888.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800805\"><\/a>Vie\u0161vil\u0117<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">There is large forest in the surrounding. Also there are small lake and very nice park in Vie\u0161vil\u0117. Not far away you can visit the mound. Vie\u0161vil\u0117 name was mentioned already in 1402. From ancient times there is small but cozy church. Vie\u0161vil\u0117 became the wood manufacturing center from the end of 19 century.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800806\"><\/a>Vilky\u0161kiai<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Having shown respect to the resting Vyd\u016bnas, it is worth to go to Vilky\u010diai and admire the left valuable urban set with the yard, built in 1770-71 evangelical church. The first church was built in 1561, but, in 1758, the Russians ruined it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">By the way, the plague of 1710 greatly emptied the villages of the eastern Prussians. After that a lot of colonists arrived here. This period was called the colonization of Zacburg people. In the center, there stands a small esthetical monument that the Austrian government provided in 1998. Nearby, there is an old monument dedicated to the perished in the WWI people of Vilky\u010diai perish.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800807\"><\/a>The pine-tree of witches<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">18 trunk pine is the nature\u2019s monument.

There are quite a lot of buildings of a farmer baron Conrad fon Dreseler\u2019s estate \u2013 a distillery, a stable, a warehouse, servant\u2019s rooms with decorative elements, such as typical to this land wooden columns. In 1907 hundreds of stallions were sold in \u0160ereitlaukis. Mostly high class Arabic horses was held here. This is an impressive set testifying about the rich farmer life. During the times of independence (before the war), a walking boarder point and a customhouse used to be here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">A modern view of \u0160ereitlaukis is quite terrible. Local inhabitants are gone; only newcomers (colonists) from the Great Lithuania. Industrial culture also made its harm &#8211; former fashionable buildings are bulked by the worthless constructions, sheds and barracks from all the sides. Undoubtedly, the Soviet occupation had an impact on the downfall of the Lithuanian mentality. However, nowadays, this Lithuanian Shanghai is worth visiting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Nearby, there is a mound, the hat of Napoleon. Now, there exists a legend that it was formed by the soldiers of Napoleon\u2019s army who poured it with their hats.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800809\"><\/a>Bit\u0117nai<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Settled near Rambynas the village of Bit\u0117nai meets travelers with a huge colony of starks in the summer time. In one of the local farmstead, there live not less than 5 families of them. Interestingly, this colony settled in farmstead where, during the German reign, youth center used to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The most important place in Bit\u0117nai is the reconstructed farmer printing-house of Martynas Jankus. There is rather modest exposition about this important to the Lithuanian history person\u2019s life. Working as the head of the Little Lithuania\u2019s resume committee, Martynas played a decisive role in the revolt of 1923.

Separated from the river only by a narrow border, Rambynas looks naked and upright\u2026From very Smolensk and Moscow, here came grand dukes and kings with sacrificial gifts that they put on the cult stone. Having touched the stone, the sick got healed. Just married couples climbed the rock praying for the blessing for their marriage; women in child-breath thanked for the recovery and asked the blessing for newborn. Still in the beginning of the century, there was not a single wedding ceremony that passing by did not climb the rock in order to pray by the stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Otto Glagau \u2013 the German traveler and journalist of the beginning of the XIX century.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800811\"><\/a>Services<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800812\"><\/a>Events and entertainment<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">K.Glinskis museum, Vyd\u016bno str. 45, Jurbarkas, tel.

Prussian grand duke Albert\u2019s order to hold services in the Lithuanian and Kur\u0161iai languages testify about that. For many centuries, along with Klaip\u0117da\u2019s region, Rusn\u0117 belonged to the German feudalistic that tried to \u201cgermanize\u201d the local people, but failed to eliminate Lithuanian roots. The street of \u017dveju (fishermen) is held a monument of the old Rusn\u0117\u2019s architecture. It is a former village of Skirvyt\u0117l\u0117, now belonging to the city of Rusn\u0117. You could also see living and industrial buildings of the end of 19 cent. beginning of the 20 cent architecture typical to the coastal territory. The walls of the houses are usually boarded and full of writings. The roofs are covered with reed or with tiles. In 1907, water station was built in Rusn\u0117. This station is considered a symbol of human persistency in the battle with the element the Nemunas\u2019 waters. The first banks in the flooded fields were put up in 1888 after the catastrophe of flood. However, the low delta\u2019s places were not enough to dry up the land. Water stations were still needed. They were designed to pump up the dampness. Now, this station is restored and turned into a museum.

However, bad weather conditions prevent them. For that reason, in 1863, the digging works were started.

When Auk\u0161tagiriai got the status of an independent parish, the priest P.Korzitzkijus built a church here. There is 23,8% of Lithuanians here. The services were held in Lithuanian. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800894\"><\/a>Polesk (Labguva)<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Labguva is an old town 3 km from the southern shore of the Curonian spit. Deimana or Laba in older times, flows through the town. In 1697 Deimena was joined by one channel with Nemunas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In 1258, in Zabguva, there stood Semb\u0117s castle and a small Settlement near it. The crusaders burned the castle in 1277 and settled there. In 1288 they built a new stone castle. Before the 16 cent. it was rebuilt and reconstucted several times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In winter of 1352, ruled by K\u0119stutis Lithuanians devastated Labguva and its neighborhood. Labguva castle served for the crusaders as an important resistance point in the battles with Prussians and Lithuanians. Now there is a ship building manufactory. In 1656.11.20 the contract with Labguva guaranteed the Prussian independence. During the 1710-1711 plague a lot of local Lithuanians died. Labguva was colonized, however, in the 19 cent., the services were still held in Lithuania.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">It is supposed that churches in Labguva near the castle appeared already in 1258. In the end of the 14 century in the west of the castle there was built a gothic church made of field stones. In 1871 it was renewed. During 1562-1587 one of the Lithuanian writing starters, Jonas Bretk\u016bnas, served here as a priest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">There served as a parson Jonas Bretk\u016bnas J.Bretk\u016bnas work made an impact on the evolution of Lithuanian language. He made a lot of innovations. His most important work is \u201cPostil\u0117\u201d (1591). This was the first illustrated Lithuanian book on the topic Holy writings. J. Bretk\u016bnas established a club of the old-times lovers and history researchers. We may call him the first Lithuanian historian.<\/p>\n<p>In around 1890 Jurgis Mik\u0161as moved to Labguva. When \u201cAu\u0161ra\u201d (newspaper) started its days, he was the first chairman of \u201cBirut\u0117\u201d committee and published a newspaper \u201cNemuno sargas\u201d (\u201cthe guard of Nemunas\u201d) in small Lithuania. In Labguva J.Mik\u0161as worked as a court translator; he was against the Lithuanian \u201cgermanization\u201d. He translated from German S. Markus \u201cPrivate testament\u201d and \u201cMiserys testament\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Working during 1851-1886 in Labguva K. F.

This is indeed not an easy route, especially the Vilnius \u2013 Ukmerg\u0117 stripe with quite a few gravel roads. However, it was tried to find some other passage from Vilnius to Ukmerg\u0117. The entire route is indeed interesting. It goes through 7 national parks, a half of which would not be familiar to the traveler. In Vilnius side we will pass by a very popular and liked by consents of pagan religion Neris park. We will also go through an interesting church of Suderv\u0117. Later, we will cross a rich with history town of K\u0117dainiai that has a tough downtown. There were moments in history when this town overtook even Vilnius due to its culture and development.

The place is known from the times of the battles with the crusaders (1253).<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">It is possible that during the old faith\u2019s time, Als\u0117d\u017eiai was a sacrifices\u2019 place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">It is not only a factual place of \u017demaitija\u2019s bishopric, but also a centre of that time\u2019s Lithuanian movement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The old church is an interesting architectural monument. It is made of a pine \u2013 tree interesting for its primitive forms and carved altars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Als\u0117d\u017eiai is also known for its clay.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800942\"><\/a>U\u017eventis<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The town is near the eastern slope of \u017demai\u010diai heights, on the shore of Venta. The town was always suffering during the Swedish war. The church of St. Maria Magdalene was built in 1825. It has some worthy in the artistic sense religious paintings. The poetess Marija Pe\u010dkauskait\u0117 \u2013 \u201cThe witch of \u0160atrija\u201d (1877-1930) spend here her childhood in the farmstead. On \u017demait\u0117 str. 14 is the house where during 1892-1893 lived J. \u017demaitien\u0117 with the family. U\u017eventis museums of regional studies settled in the old barn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800943\"><\/a>\u017demaitija national park<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">The bigger part of the park is taken up by 150-190 m-high hills formed of ice field 12000 years ago. One of the biggest lakes in \u017demaitija, Plateliai, is very impressive (all together there are 26 of them). There also are a lot of peculiar ecosystems, swamps, and swampy meadows. In the Plateliai lake, there breeds rare salmon fish. You can get to know the nature\u2019s values on the \u0160eir\u0117 cognitive path. The cultural heritage contains the mounds of Mikytai, \u0160arnel\u0117, Pu\u010dkoriai, Gegr\u0117nai, and \u017d. Kalvarija, the old Plateliai estate, and the Pilis Island. \u017d. Kalvarija town is an important \u017demaitija\u2019s Catholicism spiritual centre with the road of the Christ\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In Plateliai town, there are an estate park and the part of buildings left. An example of wooden architecture is Ber\u017eoras chapel. In Plok\u0161tin\u0117, in a former missile base from where, not so long ago, the flying missiles were launched on the European countries, a military exposition is arranged. \u0160arnel\u0117 is significant for the homeland of the well-known Lithuanian poet-existentialist V. Ma\u010dernis. However, a short visit is a way not enough in order to uncover all the unique spiritual values hidden in \u017demaitija\u2019s corners. Those who want to do this would have to come for a longer period of time.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800944\"><\/a>Salantai<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">Salantai is settled on both sides of Salanta&#8217;s rives, the inflow of Minija. The settlement became known from the times of the battles with the crusades. Formed in the 16 cent. town\u2019s streets web is extant. Above the old houses, peers a two-tower neogothic church of St. Maria\u2019s ascendance to heaven, built in 1906-1911 by the grandfather of V. Orvydas. The monument of Lithuania\u2019s independence is reconstructed. In the valley of Salanta&#8217;s river, then grows a park established in the 19 cent. Near the road from Plung\u0117 to Skuodas, there is a farmstead of Orvydai. The idea of a monk V. Orvydas was to fulfil the will of God and establish a church in the open air. According to the degrading atheist society and the majority of superficial publication, this farmstead is the absurd museum, whereas Soviet &#8211; time religious people held it a Sanctuary where they felt nearness to the Holy. This is the great monument to the human desire of freedom and evidence that none of the totalitarian systems is an obstacle for a full-fledged life. This is one of the unique places attracting religions pilgrims and mystics. Even though after the death of the farmstead\u2019s founder, this unique place was being destroyed by his relatives, the central altar for sacrifices to bring is still extant. The farmstead of a naturalist-hobbyist Ivanauskas where you can see many cultural animals not seen before is very interesting as well.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800945\"><\/a>Salantai Regional Park<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\">It was established to protect the valley of Erla-Salantas-Minija and its district for the sake of the natural ecosystem and the values of the cultural legacy. The park is rich with the vivid rivers and river valleys, springs, holders and mounds, mythological stones that hide some kind of mysterious archaism. Not without a reason, there are two museums that sing of a stone beauty and such personalities as M.Valan\u010dius, Mos\u0117dis museum\u2019s founder doctor Intas, a contemporary mystic and spiritual teacher Vilius Orvydas were born here.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800946\"><\/a>Kretinga<\/h4>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"en-US\">It is an interesting and peculiar town on both sides of Akmena river. The castle of Kretinga was mentioned in 1253 in historical sources. \u017demaitija\u2019s people got it back from the Livonian order. Kretinga estate is mentioned from the XVI cent. At first it belonged to the King, and later \u2013 to the \u017demaitija\u2019s elder J. Katkevi\u010dius, who left it to his daughters in 1621. Later the estate belonged to the families of Sapiegai and Masalskiai. In 1794, the earl V.Patackis owned it. In 1806, the estate is sold to P.Zubov. Then, the earl J.Ti\u0161kevi\u010d bought it from him. In architectural sense, the ensemble of the church and the monastery on the other side of the same street is of a great value. The church of the Christ\u2019s appearance to St. Maria was built in 1617, rebuilt in 1908 and 1941. For that reason, it<\/span><b> <\/b><span lang=\"en-US\">has a blend of architectural styles of various periods. The window arches and the roof are gothic, and the portal is typical of baroque. The interior contains Renaissance features with those of the baroque. Some altars are Renaissance, the others are baroque. Wooden carvings decorate the pulpit. The benches with the portraits of monks are valuable. The doors with the Renaissance portico decorated with the wooden ornaments are of a rare beauty. The monastery was built in 1610 \u2013 1617 in a Renaissance-baroque manner. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800947\"><\/a>Seaside Regional Park<\/h4>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">It was established to preserve the lower seaside landscape, the natural seaside set. The only ethno-cultural reserve is Karkl\u0117 village, the only extant village of Lithuania\u2019s seaside with several Kur\u0161es\u2019 farmsteads that are left. The most precious part of the park is considered seaside dunes with unique plant communities, some of which grow only on the seaside and a 22 m-high scarp of a rock, called the Dutch hat that overlooks the sea. This one is a perfect place to see off the sun and to open up your heart.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800948\"><\/a>Services<\/h2>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800949\"><\/a>Tourism information<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">TIC, Pilies str. 42, Vilniaus str. 22, Vilnius, tel.
