 Basketball basket as bin by HORSCHECK
On Laisves aleja (Freedom Square) we saw a sort of basketball basket which was obviously officially in use as a sort of bin for empty plastic bottles. Leave a Comment

A good idea to have an active sport - go for skating! Lot's of fun and good music for your pleasure. But on weekends it's full of people...
You can rent ice skating shoes there. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Ausros 42c

 JOGGING ALONG NEMUNAS
RIVER by matcrazy1
Well, there were not many jogging fans in Kaunas but they had nice areas to do it just in the same heart of the historical old town which I found unique. If you choose my hotel (Minotel) you are 1-2 min. from the place on my picture.
Good trainers and jogging costume like on my picture (in summer time).
Leave a Comment Theme: HikingDirections: From southeastern corner of the Town Hall Square walk 1 min. Aleksoto gatve (streeet) southwards to reach northern bank of Nemunas river. Walk/jog westwards along the river bank to Santakos Park (Parkas).Website: http://running.about.com

 AT LAISVES ALEJA -
MAIN STREET OF NEW
TOWN by matcrazy1
Do you want more relax? There were parks around of which I visited two:
- Santakos Parkas in the old town where Neris and Nemunas rivers meet themselves,
- Ramybes Parkas in the New Town; do not skip tiny mosque and Museum of Exiles and Political Prisoners located there.
Good legs :-) + comfortable walking shoes preferrably water-resistant: like good trainers or better special walking shoes (one example: Danish Ecco are very comfortable and... expensive but worth the cost). Leave a Comment Theme: Hiking

 KID CLIMBING A TANK by matcrazy1
Just in case you visit Kaunas with your kids, the tank was located in fromt of the Vytautas the Great War Museum (called Military Museum as well). There were more attractions to climb for your your kids there including a few cannons and two black lions.
From my VT friend OlafS from Belgium:
That's not a tank, it's a ASU-57 selfpropelled gun of the Soviet airborne troops.
Thank you and excuse me my military ignoration, Olaf :-)
Young bones were recommended :-). Add comfortable climbing trainers.

 BY BICYCLE IN KAUNAS by matcrazy1
Bicycles used by young natives for recreation were suprisingly new and modern, much better than those black and old ones in Amsterdam :-). Excuse, a receptionist in my Minotel hotel didn't know where to find rent a bicycle agency... I am not sure whether there were any in Kaunas. My comprehensive leaflet "Kaunas/Klaipeda in your pocket" didn't give any information on that matter. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 CLIMBING IN KAUNAS by matcrazy1
The areas around the old town, like Aleksotas district south of Nemunas river, were more hilly.
Comfortable walking shoes preferrably water-resistant: like good trainers or better special walking shoes (one example: Danish Ecco are very comfortable and... expensive but worth the cost). Leave a Comment Theme: ClimbingDirections: Moat south of the Kaunas castle.
