class=\"western\">In the historical sources, Vilkija is mentioned from 1430 09 22. 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\">\u00a0century 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>Veliuona castle;<\/li>\n<li>Belvederis castle and park, Sered\u017eius;<\/li>\n<li>Raudon\u0117 castle and mill, castle tower;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"western\">Catering<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Cafe \u201cDubysa\u201d, Sered\u017eius, tel.<\/li>\n<li>Cafe, Veliuona,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800799\"><\/a>Accommodation<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Romo and Eimanto Zaleckai homestead, Padubysis village, Vilkija,<\/li>\n<li>V.Kringelien\u0117s homestead, Klausu\u010di\u0173 village., Sered\u017eius,<\/li>\n<li>J.Ramonien\u0117s homestead, Papi\u0161ki\u0173 v., Veliuona, S.Balsevi\u010diaus homestead, Raudon\u0117,<\/li>\n<li>I.Kazakevi\u010dien\u0117s homestead, Raudon\u0117,<\/li>\n<li>Raudon\u0117 castle, Raudon\u0117,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"western\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800800\"><\/a>Useful contacts<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Panemun\u0117s regional park, S.Dariaus ir S.Gir\u0117no str. 98, Jurbarkas,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800801\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\"><a name=\"__RefHeading___Toc518800802\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-GB\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maps from the &#8220;Nieman cycle guide&#8221; book (2004) &nbsp; Zapy\u0161kis \u2013 \u0160ilin\u0117 Route Vilkija \u201312,5\u2013 Sered\u017eius \u201310\u2013 Veliuona \u201311\u2013 Raudon\u0117 \u201311,5- \u0160ilin\u0117\u00a0 \u20134\u2013Skirsnemun\u0117 \u20139\u2013 Jurbarkas Vilkija In the historical sources, Vilkija is mentioned from 1430 09 22.

class=\"western\">In the historical sources, Vilkija is mentioned from 1430 09 22. 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\">\u00a0century 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
