Dagstur Från Vilnius till Vitryssland gränsar till ett fruset hörn av Europa
Beskrivning
1939, när tjänstemän i Kreml ritade gränser runt Vilnius-regionen som skulle återlämnas till Litauen, lades Stalins pipa på kartan. Alla var för rädda för att flytta bort den, så de drog helt enkelt linjen runt röret. Vi erbjuder en trevlig dagstur från Vilnius till näset omgivet av den vitryska gränsen. Unik region i Litauen frusen i tiden. Vacker natur, slott, berg, gamla kyrkor, naturlandmärken och gränsskyddad zon väntar oss under ett dagsäventyr till Europas bortglömda hörn.

Resplan
Hämta från hotellet och kör till Medininkai-slottet som ligger precis vid den litauiska/vitryska gränsen.
Medininkai Castle ligger 32 km från Vilnius centrum. Medininkai Castle byggdes i slutet av 1200-talet eller början av 1300-talet. Enligt det täckta utrymmet är det det största slottet i Litauens nuvarande territorium. Slottet byggdes under övergångsperioden från romansk till gotisk stil, och det är ett av de tidigaste inhägnadslotten i Litauen.
Njut av pittoreska vyer medan du kör genom en öppen terräng. Mycket kort stopp vid Turgeliai för att se en vacker kyrka. Namnet på turgeliai dök upp eftersom staden tidigare var känd för stora bondemarknader.
Republiken Paulava (Pavlov) är ett av de mest unika fenomenen i Litauens historia. Det är en autonom republik som existerade på 1700-talet, i livegenskapens tid, i Merkinė, inte långt från Vilnius, i det nuvarande distriktet Šalčininkai, och som hade sin egen konstitution, vapensköld, president, bondeparlament , pengar, skattkammare, ömsesidig hjälpfond, milis och skola. Idag påminns vi om det bara av fragmenten av herrgården, stallarna och andra byggnader, men under andra hälften av 1700-talet var det platsen där den mest radikala och progressiva bondereformen i Republiken de två nationerna var genomförs.
Efter att ha besökt Republiken Paulava kör vi till "Dieveniskes Loop". Det finns en liten checkpoint för att komma in i Stalins rör. Det är väldigt tunt land som bara är 4 km brett. Efter ett kort stopp är vi äntligen i bilagan till Litauen.
Vi går in i näsets kontrollpunkt. Detta är extremt smalt bara 4 kilometer bred bit land omgiven av den vitryska gränsen. Vid entrén kunde resenärer uppmanas att visa dokumenten.
Det finns 13 etnografiska engatabyar, såsom Lastaučikai, Poškonys, Grybiškės och Rimašiai, som bildades av Valakas landreform på 1500- och 1600-talen. Även om de har behållit sin struktur till denna dag, byggdes de flesta av de nuvarande byggnaderna i dessa byar i slutet av 1800-talet eller början av 1900-talet.
Vi kommer att se imponerande 1 000 år gamla Grybiškės och Stakai ekar, med sina stammar på nästan fem meter i omkrets, är kusiner till den berömda Stelmužė ek. Grybiškės tall är en 100 år gammal och odlad av staten.
Besöker det fantastiska Norviliskes slott från 1500-talet som ligger precis vid den vitryska gränsen.
Återvänder till Vilnius
Vi kommer att besöka Bėčionys hillfort på högra stranden av floden Gauja och dess underbara utsikt över det omgivande området från toppen av hillfortet.

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.
Dear Theresa, Thank you for this wonderful review. We were honored to show you hidden treasures away from tourists visited attractions. Warmest wishes, DIFFERENT LITHUANIA

Dear Fraser, Thank you for this top review! We are more than happy that you enjoyed two days with us! We hope you will have a chance to return and see more with us! Sincerely, DIFFERENT LITHUANIA
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!
