Republic of Lithuania is located at the Eastern coast of the Baltic Sea. It

covers 65,3 thousand square kilometres and has population of 3.435 million, of

which 83,5 percent are Lithuanians, 6,7 percent Poles, 6,3 percent Russians, and

1 percent other ethnic minorities. Vilnius is Lithuania’s capital with the popula-

tion totalling over 550 thousand. Other large cities are Kaunas, seaport Klaipëda,

Ðiauliai, Panevëþys. There are over 100 cities in Lithuania, 30 of which are older

than 750 years.

Lithuania restored its independence in 1991 and in 2004 joined the European

Union and NATO Alliance. Lithuanians are the most Euro-minded among all the

new EU Member States.

Thinking of the free time spiced with new experiences? ChooseLithuania! Although our country is small, it is not easy to choose the

route – there are so many places of distinctive and unique beauty, lots of enter-tainment and awaiting experiences. Perhaps you would like to choose theLithuanian Baltic Coast Amber route? Or set off to the mystical land of obsti-nate Samogitians (Þemaitija)? The trip to the old villages and sunny pinewoodsof singing Dzûkija‘s people would be fantastic. Or you would like to choose theland of cheerful highlanders (Aukðtaitija), surrounded by lakes, which look likeeyes, waiting for visiting guests…

There are four ethnographical regions in Lithuania. In three of themthere are national parks of Aukðtaitija (Highlands), Þemaitija (Low-

lands or Samogitia) and Dzûkija, which are distinguished from each other bynature and cultural heritage just like regional people by their character. More-over there are 30 regional parks in the country, a number of conservation areaseach of which is a unique mini world.

Travelling across Lithuania by any means of transport or on foot is apure pleasure: good road network, parks are webbed with tracks, trails

and fascinating routes. There are plenty of rest areas in the side roads, a lot ofcamps and sightseeing platforms offering overwhelming panoramic views.Ribbons of trails and tracks are embellished with small-sized Lithuanian tradi-tional sculptures – crosses, sideway shrines, woodcarvings on mythological themesof the Balts.

Eager for extremes? Which of these you prefer – air balloon, soviet airfighter, night trip to marsh or diving to the bottom of the lake to see

the ancient polar city? Or perhaps you would like to choose the whole marathonof adventurous entertainment?

Lithuanians are northerners with southern temper - joyful and hos-pitablepeople, and communicating is easy and pleasant. While our traditions

and creativity can make each entertainment or encounter an exciting adventure,which you will remember long after. Discover Lithuania – a unique world at theheart of Europe!

Approximately 120 cognitive, recreationand training routes are set in other forests thatare in the competence of forest enterprises (28of them are adapted to disabled people). Theterritories that fall under the competence ofthe forest enterprises reveal the most beauti-ful panorama and have 1700 recreation objectsin total: 60 survey sites, almost 900 rest places,and approximately 500 camps. 300 of those ob-jects are adapted to disabled people. Theroutes are decorated with wooden articlescarved by ingenious craftsmen, strange stemsand stumps created by the joking nature. Thetrips on all Lithuanian roads are interestingand comfortable.

Do you like fishing? Lithuania is rich inreally picturesque and unique places for fi-shing. First of all, we should mention the re-gion of Aukðtaitija, Kurðiø Marios and someother rivers. The providers of fishing servicesmay offer fishing trips to Kurðiø Marios or tothe Baltic Sea. At the end of the trip you willgather in the beautiful place near the fire, willcook and taste the fish soup and share yourfishing adventures. You will probably not for-get this trip for a long period of time. Ofcourse, it is easier to catch fish in the fishinglakes. There are several places in Lithuania,where the chef of the restaurant will preparea dish from fish (trout or carp) that you havejust caught. It is a shame to visit the Balticcoast and not to taste the smoked halibut,pikeperch or eel.

Have a great time when sailing theyacht, boat or entertainment ship in KurðiøNerija, the lakes of Trakai, Plateliai, andKauno Marios etc, because the view is dif-ferent looking from waterside. You may sailthe yacht to Klaipëda (the yacht club of thePilies port is situated in the very centre ofthe town). The depth of the pass of KurðiøMarios, which leads to the beautiful Nidaand the influx of the Nemunas, is only 2.5metres. The ancient boats sail near Nida andin the lakes of Trakai. The divers will have apossibility to see the remains of the ancientpolar town or the park of sculptures on thebottom of the lakes of Trakai, Plateliai orLûkstas. Those, who like the in-door water

If you like riding then you perfectlyknow the pleasure of riding a well-trainedblood-horse in the picturesque vicinity.There are more that 30 stud houses andhorse riding centres in Lithuania. A num-ber of rural tourism homesteads also haveseveral horses for riding. Stud houses usu-ally grow horses of the following breeds:Arabic, Trakënø, Hanover, American, Rus-sian, Orlov and their hybrids; the sama-gotian and the punch of Lithuania (the lo-cal breeds). Horses grown in Lithuania par-ticipate in races organized in different Eu-ropean countries. Practically all stud housesrent horses for riding, some of them giveriding lessons. Almost every stud house of-fers trips by coach or carriage, or by sledgein wintertime. The race of carriages pulledby horses in Rieðës hippodrome is also avery exciting event.

Riding the horse is one of the mostattractive forms of travelling in nationalparks. The routes go through the nationalparks of Trakai, Anykðèiai, Aukðtadvaris,Kurtuvënai, Kauno Marios (the Lithuaniannational museum), Meteliai, the Nemunasloops, the seaside, Pavilnys, Varniai,Veisiejai, Venta and the regional park ofÞagarë. The stud house composed of a setof buildings of the English style in Þagarëis particularly beautiful. Horses in this studhouse were bred from the beginning ofXIX century and are still bred now. Thelong history of the man and the horse is

One of the oldest forms of man’s com-munication with the nature is the hunting.There are lots of legends and myths aboutthe deep-rooted traditions of hunting inLithuania. Even today, the birds and animalsare hunted following the obligatory huntingtraditions and rituals.

The populations of some birds and ani-mals are larger in Lithuania than in otherWest or Eastern European countries. Everyyear the Ministry of Environment sets limitsfor the animal hunting. In 2005 – 2005, theMinistry allowed to hunt 1260 red deer (245male-deer), 36 fallow-deer, 19 000 roes (4035male-roes). As regards moose, in particularmale-moose, they are not hunted every year.The hunts for wild boars are especially suc-cessful and exotic. There are so many wildboars in Lithuania that for the first time in2005 hunters for wild boars required no spe-cial permits. Differently from a number ofother EU countries, the hunt for wolves isallowed in Lithuania. The hunts for small ani-mals such as mongoose, fox, grey hear, mar-ten, ferret, and beaver take place in everyforest enterprise. The arriving hunters are ex-cited about the huge population of birds. Thehunt for birds is not regulated in our coun-try, except the hunts in spring that are for-bidden during that period of time. The for-eign hunters are subject to the same huntingconditions as the local hunters.

You will get and in-depth informationfrom special hunting (sometimes and fish-

ing) agencies that organize hunts as well asforest enterprises that know their territo-ries the best. Sometimes the hunts are or-

ganized by the divisions of LithuanianHunters and Fishermen Association,groups and clubs.

We do not have a possibility to alwaysenjoy the white snow covering the earth, asLithuanian winters differ every year. How-ever, when the snow covers the earth and theweather becomes cooler, those who like ac-tive sport go skiing. Ignalina (Aukðtaitija na-tional park) is the winter capital of Lithuania.The layer of snow in beautiful territories ofthis national park is the thickest and remainsthe longest in Lithuania.

There are several mountain and specialplain routes for skiing. As it is usual in ma-jority of national and regional parks, otherroutes for skiing follow the summer footpathsand cycling roads. When skiing in winter, sur-roundings, landscape and ethnographic vil-lages surrounded by white forest seem likean image from a fairy-tale. And what’s thetaste of the herb tea with honey there! Oneshould go on the night trips with skis whenthe full moon shines. These trips are in par-ticular picturesque and full of glamour.

Those, who do not like skiing, may slidewith sledge or special “pot” from the hill.The trips in carriages pulled by horses arein particular romantic, when only the tink-ling bells disturb the stillness of winter. Butthat is not all. Those, who got cold in theoutside, may relax in the sauna. Majority ofhomesteads in villages and some camps havesaunas. There is a wide range of saunas atyour disposal - from the traditionalLithuanian (where you will be lambastedwith a fragrant whisk) to the set of Roman

The joy of white winter

baths. Those, who want to pump adrenalin,should look for snow motorcycles, ice-sledge, and aerodynamic sledge. One moreentertainment that will heat your blood is

sliding with a sledge that is pulled by the landrover on the frozen lake or on KurðiøMarios. We may also suggest the differententertainment – the winter fishing on ice.

Lithuanians state that they are the na-tion of farmers and pilots. That is becauseLithuanian Kazimieras issued a book entitled“The Great art of artillery” in the middle ofXVII, where he described the principles ofcreating a multi-stage rocket. Jurgis Dobke-vièius and Antanas Gustaitis constructedplanes in 1930 – 1940, whereas the flight ofStepas Darius and Stasys Girënas from NewYork to Europe was regarded as one of themajor achievement in the aviation of that day.Moreover, the senior pilot of the first char-ter flight by famous plane “Yankee Clipper”from the US to Europe in 1939 wasLithuanian – Adomas Kalkauskas.

The Lithuanian stunt pilots are famousfor a long time. Jurgis Kairys (www.jkairys.com),who was the first person to carry out the stuntfigures according to the music, belongs to theelite of pilots of the world. According to thenumber of air balloons for 100 000 persons,Lithuania is in 7 – 8 place in the world. Thereare more than 60 hot air balloons in the coun-try. Moreover, Vilnius is the only Europeancapital, where those balloons may take off.The 13th championship of hot air balloons wasorganized in Vilnius and its region in 2003.

Lithuania may offer other types of en-tertainment in the sky: gliding, parachuting,hang-gliding, paragliding, motorgliding, andparamotors. Try one of those and you will ex-perience a wonderful feeling of the free-and-easy flight. Of course, majority of air clubsmay offer survey flights that are the simplest.

Like a bird in the sky

But the most exotic trips are those with anair balloon above Vilnius or Trakai. There areseveral piloting schools in the country for

those, who having experienced the joy of anunusual flight, want to learn piloting them-selves.

What to risk? To pump adrenalin and for-get about fatigue and problems? In that case,choose Lithuania: budgie jumping from theTV tower, driving carting or rally cars in spe-cial routes; race with land-rovers in gravelquarries or trips full of adventures in nationaland regional parks; paintball in former Rus-sian training ground or the trips in swamps(even at night – and that’s the horror!); orien-tation sport games with funny tasks; acrobaticflights accompanied by an experience pilot ora lightening speed flights by reactive fighter.Having swing in the “Swing of giants” you willrealize that you may walk on peaks of trees.Or maybe you want to check your stamina? Inthat case, we suggest you to buy one-weekend(from 2 to 3 days) entertainment package en-titled “Earth-Sky-Water”, which will heat yourblood. Less risky, but no less romantic are thetrips on roller-skates in the city at night andthe trips on skis in national and regional parks.Or, let’s say, a special pubing and clubbing -isn’t that extreme enough?

We may also offer trips and excursionsduring which you will watch various perfor-mances – rituals, fights, imitations of histori-cal events and sometimes you may also par-ticipate in these events (for example, you willbe persecuted by ghosts or attacked by therobbers) etc. These trips are organized by thetravel agencies and tourism operators. Infor-mation about the extreme air, water and win-ter entertainments are provided in relevantchapters.

Want to forget civilization, noise of thecity and to find the shelter in the nature? Inthis case choose one of the 500 rural tour-ism homesteads in Lithuania. The home-steads differ in locations, architecture andthe extent of activity. A number of home-steads are composed of the whole set of newbuilding of the rural style, where manypeople may rest and enjoy the rural enter-tainments at the same time. The owners ofother homesteads (particularly in ethno-graphic villages) will give all their attentionto and will offer stay only for your family ora small company. In such villages you willfind a unique environment and a pleasantcommunication with locals.

A real escape from the rest of the worldis the rest in a grange surrounded by the for-est. You will forget all your problems and willfeel like in the fairy-tale when during thebreakfast you will see the deer or stag nib-bling the grass in the outskirts or the grange.

Rural tourism homesteads usually offerdifferent equipment for entertainment: bikes,boats, canoes, ships and yachts. Some of themmay even offer horses and carriages for riding,and sledges in wintertime. Almost all of themhave basketball grounds, and sometimes ten-nis courts. One or several different saunas arean obligatory attribute of every homestead.And maybe you would like to work with thehosts in the garden or garden-plot? There areseveral ecological rural tourism homesteads,and their number still increases.
