Bicycle Route in Lithuania<\/span><\/p>\n

An invitation …<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You want to Lithuania, an unknown world of forests, meadows, lakes and legends?<\/span><\/p>\n

We offer you our the best possibility to discover new member of the European family by bicycle. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your travel route is a treasure of Lithuanian, Polish and German heritage, and to be honest a landmark of their clashes. You will dive deep into the Middle Ages and see mounds. On them the ancestors of the Lithuanians build their wooden fortresses and settlements. Still these artificial hills may open amazing views into the surrounding landscapes \u2013 and of cause into history. From the 11 till 13th century this was the battle place between the Baltic <\/span><\/span>Jotvingiai<\/i><\/span><\/span> tribes and the \u201cGerman Order\u201d \u2013 the knights of the cross who withdrawn from Jerusalem governed the later Eastern Prussia and pulled eastwards \u2026 You\u2019ll look into the history of the Lithuanians and their relatives, the history of the past Soviet Union \u2013 and into a daily life of a country which recently joined European Union to ensure it\u2019s peaceful and sustainable development, without the wars and occupations. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Much was destroyed in the 20<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span><\/sup> century: Many inhabitants lost their life or were deported, the big estates of the 19<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span><\/sup> century were broken up as well as the huge state owned farms of the Soviet Union. But much has been conserved as well behind the \u201cIron Curtain\u201d of the Soviet Union and only slowly falls into pieces: the buildings of the manor houses are still there, and churches, cemeteries, the ancient wooden houses. Often it seems, as countryside-life didn\u2019t change for centuries. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a journey to the past, to nature and the mystics of this region. <\/span><\/p>\n

The description in this booklet is a translation from Lithuanian, therefore you will get acquainted with another view on all this.<\/span><\/p>\n

But now: Enjoy your trip!<\/span><\/p>\n

LT4 Suvalkija Cycle circuit<\/b>

Thus there is already a high quality route description existing, this is still an unknown border region in the triangle Russia-Poland-Lithuania<\/span>?<\/a>. Maybe because it was a “closed region” in Soviet times?<\/span>
