Sculptures of Iron Wolf and Moses
Raimix Says: Near the church there are some sculptures worth visiting. First of them is the Iron Wolf. From the legend of how Vilnius was founded we know that the Iron Wolf was like a symbol to show that on that top of the hill, where he roared a castle should be built (now it it is...
Raimix Says: At first I thought it was forbidden for tourist - maybe it is a private house, but I saw that it is a parish of Kernave. Yard of parish is really interesting. Things I saw:a statue of Grand Duke Vytautas,wooden statues of religious persons,a little pond. A worker of museum...
Raimix Says: There are two chapels near church. One is about 50 metres from church, another a little bit closer. A wooden chapel (it surprised me) is build in 1820 -1822 and without any nail.Another one is from bricks, style of classicism, octagonal. There is a mausoleum of Remer - Puzin...
Raimix Says: A red church was built in 1910 - 1920. There are a lot of famous Lithuanian paintings. Church is rounded by red brick wall, walking around you can see some frescos in it.Unhappily, we hadn't been in inside of this church - it was closed and there was no people at parish.
Raimix Says: These four historical mounts are near the river of Neris. First, the biggest mount was called Pilies kalno piliakalnis (Mount of Castle's hill) because of the castle in medieval ages had been there. Crusaders and Livonia soldiers destroyed it and castle was never rebuild. By...
State Cultural Reserve of Kernave

ginte Says: On your way to the moulds you'll see a wonderful church of Kernave and wolf's monument on the right side. Most likely it's related to Vilnius foundation myth, as Kernave was the oldest capital of Lithuania.
ginte Says: On the main hill from where the wonderful panorama of moulds and landscape opens, you'll see a wooden house. I don't know what's inside, but it's from the ancient Lithuanian heritage. It's quite unusual and original and you won't see so many of them in Lithuania.
ginte Says: A small town of Kernave has not only the beautiful nature, but also a nice church. The Church of the Holy Virgin Mary was erected in Kernave in 1910 - 1920. In 1987, the churchyard was decorated with stone mosaic.

Bus is the best way to get to Kernave
Raimix Says: At first, road from Vilnius to Kernave is about 36 km. Bus to Kernave is always drives from Vilnius bus station, so it is easy to find. Buses is always stop mostly in centre of Kernave - the best orientation of centre and most admirable places at this small town is a high...
ginte Says: When you arrive in Kernave you'll see some carriages. If you want to have fun, try them.How to reach it: I guess, the best way is to go there by car. From Kaunas-Vilnius highway close to Vievis turn to road No. 108 (right direction before Vievis from Vilnius side). Follow...
ginte Says: On the moulds we saw funny signs. It's most likely that they mean 'Don't trample down the flowers', but those little men in that sign look funny;-)
Laurike Says: We had a lesson how to prepare food !
ginte Says: Be careful when climbing on steps to the moulds, as they don't have any handrails. It was strange...
scubaphoto Says: A good pair of walking shoes or boots and a light rain jacket. If visiting in Winter/Spring a lightweight fleece is advisable. Yes, don't forget your camera or you will be sorry and make sure to take extra batteries.
Raimix Says: As biking is the most interesting sport for me, I suggest you to bike from Vilnius to Kernave. The road is really ordered at this moment and route is not really difficult and complex.Vilnius > Suderve > Dukstos > Kernave.Suderve and Dukstos is really good choice to...
