Privater Transfer Riga – Berg der Kreuze – Riga





Beschreibung
Der Berg der Kreuze in Litauen ist ein spektakulärer und einzigartiger Ort wie kein anderer! Es ist ein Wallfahrtsort aus den 1830er Jahren, als die Menschen begannen, hier Kreuze zu platzieren, um für ihre Lieben zu beten, die sie in den Kämpfen verloren haben (litauisch-polnischer Commonwealth-Aufstand gegen das russische Reich). In der Sowjetzeit diente dieser Ort als friedliche Protestaktion gegen das Sowjetregime, als sie viele Male versuchten, den Ort zu zerstören, während die Einheimischen immer wieder zurückkamen und immer mehr Kreuze aufstellten. Der Berg der Kreuze wurde bereits 1993 von Papst Johannes Paul II. besucht und seitdem ist dieser Ort sehr beliebt geworden – nicht nur bei Einheimischen, sondern auch bei Touristen aus aller Welt! Sie sind herzlich eingeladen, Teil dieses einzigartigen Anbaugebiets zu werden, indem Sie ein Kreuz auf dem Hügel hinterlassen. Sie können das Kreuz auf der Website kaufen, aus Ihrem Heimatland mitbringen oder sogar selbst eines herstellen!

Krista was our guide for our private trip to the Hill of Crosses, and she was awesome!! We were picked up on time and driven from Riga to the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania. Krista shared interesting facts and history throughout the comfy car trip (we also stopped to take some pictures at the border). When we arrived at the Hill, Krista spent time providing some history, showing us the site and highlighting some of the different crosses before leaving us to spend time wandering around and exploring by ourselves. When we were ready, Krista drove us back to Riga, again with stories and facts that made this tour so special. At the end, it was like having to say goodbye to an old friend. We cannot recommend booking Latvian Gem for a private trip to the Hill of Crosses highly enough. A wonderful day!
Krista is a wonderful guide, she communicated with us when we booked the trip, organised picking us up directly from our hotel, even bringing us a little anniversary gift which was so thoughtful and started the day with even more excitement. Krista consistently provided us with knowledge of all areas we drive through, nature in the local area, the different types of buildings we saw and everything there was to know about the Hill of Crosses. We had a fantastic day and if we had longer in Riga we would have most definitely booked another trip.
An eery but interesting place to visit. Literally 1000’s of crosses. Different stories for reason of its origin all fascinating. Guide who drove us there was very informative. Lots of other facts and interests shared with us along the route too. .
This was a fabulous trip. Krista was the greatest. She was knowledgeable about the entire area we drove through from Riga to the Hill: the legends, the history and. the present. She went above and beyond what could be expected on such a tour. She even stopped for specific requests and geocaches which she was also already knowledgeable about and more than willing to help hunt! Because of this trip we've gotten another country visited!! Thank you Krista. A job well done, too bad you're not at every stop.
Amazing experience. Our guide, Rich, was spectacular and super helpful. In addition to visiting the hills, he also showed us some other historical points along the way and recommended a local restaurant. Super professional.
Over a million crosses Very different If you want to enter Lithuania it fits the bill. It makes for a nice half day tour
The tour guide made this trip incredibly worth the money, not only was he friendly and helpful in locating us and an incredible driver, but he was incredibly knowledgeable about Riga, Lithuania and the Hill of Crosses. He made each landmark feel more alive and had interesting stories the entire time, there was hardly any time on the trip we weren't engaged in an interesting story or conversation. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Riga, not only will you learn more about the city itself, but you'll see and learn so much more than travelling alone!
If you're looking for a site that's off the beaten path, this is it. Our guide, Krista, was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, super friendly, and so accommodating. I recommend doing this tour if at all possible.
Great opportunity! This experience is a great way to visit another country while visiting Riga. Krista is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable!! She’ll cater the experience to you. The hill of crosses is one of the most unique places in Europe, and can be breathtaking. Highly recommend!
Let me just start by saying that my tour with Janis to the Hill of Crosses was absolutely fantastic! I am bursting with excitement to share my experience! First and foremost, Janis, our incredible tour guide, made the entire journey an absolute delight. Not only was he friendly and welcoming, but he also had a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of the region. We had the most engaging conversations throughout the tour, and I felt like I was learning so much while having a great time. The tour itself was beyond my wildest expectations. We embarked on a picturesque drive from Riga to the Hill of Crosses, and every moment was filled with awe-inspiring beauty. The countryside was absolutely breathtaking, with rolling hills, charming villages, and lush green landscapes as far as the eye could see. When we arrived at the Hill of Crosses, I was completely blown away. The sight of thousands upon thousands of crosses, each carrying its own story and significance, was truly mesmerizing. It was a spiritual and deeply moving place that touched my heart in ways I never expected. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to everyone seeking an unforgettable adventure. Janis is an exceptional guide who will not only show you the most incredible sights but also make you feel like you're exploring with an old friend. The conversation, the scenery, and the memories created on this tour will stay with me forever. So, if you're looking for an experience that combines knowledge, beauty, and amazing company, don't hesitate to book this tour with Janis. Trust me, you won't regret it!
