Excursión de un día De Vilnius a Bielorrusia bordea un rincón helado de Europa
Descripción
En 1939, cuando los funcionarios del Kremlin estaban trazando fronteras alrededor de la región de Vilnius que iba a ser devuelta a Lituania, la pipa de Stalin yacía en el mapa. Todos tenían miedo de alejarlo, así que simplemente trazaron la línea alrededor de la tubería. Ofrecemos una agradable excursión de un día desde Vilnius al istmo rodeado por la frontera con Bielorrusia. Región única de Lituania congelada en el tiempo. Hermosa naturaleza, castillos, montes, iglesias antiguas, monumentos naturales y zonas fronterizas aseguradas nos esperan durante una aventura de un día en el rincón olvidado de Europa.

Itinerario
Recojo del hotel y traslado al castillo de Medininkai, ubicado justo en la frontera entre Lituania y Bielorrusia.
El castillo de Medininkai está situado a 32 km del centro de Vilna. El castillo de Medininkai fue construido a finales del siglo XIII o principios del XIV. Según el espacio recorrido, es el castillo más grande del actual territorio de Lituania. El castillo fue construido en el período de transición del estilo románico al gótico y es uno de los primeros castillos cerrados de Lituania.
Disfrute de vistas pintorescas mientras conduce por terrenos abiertos. Parada muy breve en Turgliai para ver una hermosa iglesia. El nombre de turgeliai surgió porque en el pasado la ciudad era conocida por los grandes mercados de agricultores.
La República de Paulava (Pavlov) es uno de los fenómenos más singulares de la historia de Lituania. Es una república autónoma que existió en el siglo XVIII, en tiempos de servidumbre, en Merkinė, no lejos de Vilnius, en el actual distrito de Šalčininkai, y tenía su propia constitución, escudo de armas, presidente, parlamento campesino. , dinero, tesorería, fondo de asistencia mutua, milicia y escuela. Hoy sólo nos lo recuerdan los fragmentos de la casa solariega, los establos y otros edificios, pero en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII fue el lugar donde se llevó a cabo la reforma campesina más radical y progresista de la República de las Dos Naciones. implementado.
Después de visitar la República de Paulava nos dirigiremos al "Dieveniskes Loop". Hay un pequeño puesto de control para entrar a la tubería de Stalin. Es una franja de tierra muy fina de sólo 4 km de ancho. Después de una breve parada finalmente llegamos al apéndice de Lituania.
Estamos entrando en el puesto de control del istmo. Este es un terreno extremadamente estrecho de solo 4 kilómetros de ancho rodeado por la frontera con Belarús. A la entrada se podía pedir a los viajeros que mostraran los documentos.
Hay 13 pueblos etnográficos de una sola calle, como Lastaučikai, Poškonys, Grybiškės y Rimašiai, que se formaron durante la reforma agraria de Valakas de los siglos XVI y XVII. Aunque han mantenido su estructura hasta el día de hoy, la mayoría de los edificios actuales de estos pueblos fueron construidos a finales del siglo XIX o principios del XX.
Veremos impresionantes robles Grybiškės y Stakai de 1.000 años de antigüedad, con troncos de casi cinco metros de circunferencia, son primos del famoso roble Stelmužė. El pino de Grybiškės tiene 100 años y está protegido por el Estado.
Visita al increíble castillo Norviliskes del siglo XVI, que se encuentra justo en la frontera con Bielorrusia.
Regresando a Vilna
Visitaremos el castro de Bėčionys en la margen derecha del río Gauja y su maravillosa vista de los alrededores desde la cima del castro.

The company had quick response to our inquiries and were able to help with the day visa. As US citizens we were unsure about being able to cross the Belarus border. Martynas did all the paperwork the day prior, picked us up from our Airbnb early morning and we spent a wonderful day over in Belarus. He was very accurate with timing it would take to cross back. All 3 of us really enjoyed the trip and Martynas is a great guide. His English is excellent, he was very funny and enjoyable to spend a 16 hour day with. Highly recommend this company.
Dear Wendy, Thank you very much. It was a pleasure to travel with you. We are more than happy when our travelers leave such a good reviews. Regards, Different Lithuania
fascinating look at not only the countryside of Lithuania but also this very strange relationship between Lithuania and Belarus. very hard to go from one to the other. Martin's was a great guide providing a very enjoyable day
Dear traveler, Thank you for this great review. We were more than happy to share our knowledge and experience with you. Warmest regards, Different Lithuania
A different side of Lithuania from the usual sights in and around Vilnius so a hugely worthwhile and enjoyable day. Martynas was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and we saw no tourists anywhere despite visiting really interesting buildings, ancient sites, beautiful nature, and some incredibly unspoilt traditional villages. Visiting the border area and understanding too the day to day difficulties of moving between countries was also quite eye opening. We hadn’t quite known what to expect but had hoped to see and learn more about the country than the usual bucket list. We were not at all disappointed and would very highly recommend the trip.

When we booked this excursion we were not exactly sure what to expect - but it sounded unique and different which is what we got thanks to our great tour guide and driver Martynas. We visited all the great planned sites and more . He told us great border stories , took us to an amazing village where we met one of the residents who gave us apples and tomatos. Martynas came with us into the castles and sites to make sure we understood what we were looking at and made the entire day pleasurable . We went into the woods and picked some berries and mushrooms and at the end of our trip we stopped at a beautiful manor building where he shared some delicious local healthy snacks . He was the perfect guide on a perfect unique experience , my family and I had a fantastic day and this truly was different Lithuania . Thank You Martynas for a great day .
Dear Michael, Thank you for the top review. We were delighted to share our best with you! We wish you unforgettable travels moments in your future travel. Best wishes, Different Lithuania
I recently took a solo day tour from Vilnius to the Belarus border with Different Lithuania in July 2024, and it was a fantastic experience. My guide was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, making sure to answer all my questions and stopping for photos at just the right moments. The tour took me to several hidden gems, starting with the Medininkai Memorial and the serene Medininkai Castle, which was refreshingly free of tourist crowds. We visited St. Kazimir Church and climbed the Juozapinė View Tower for amazing views from Lithuania's highest hill. The Paulava Republic was a unique stop, rich with history, and picking wild berries near Grybiškės oak was a fun touch. Rimašiai village's traditional wooden houses and Norviliškės Castle added even more charm to the trip. We wrapped up the day at Bėčionys hillfort with a delicious picnic of local Lithuanian food, including rye bread, fresh vegetables, and chicken. This tour was a perfect solo getaway from Vilnius, blending history, nature, and culture in a memorable way. Highly recommended!
