Rudamina was located mostly on the southern side of highway 134 Kalvarija - Lazdijai, I drove.
First I noticed tops of Rudamina parish church towers among trees on the right and I turned right and parked my car just by the parish church.
Then I drove back to the highway 134 and maybe 100 m back towards Kalvarija where I noticed this sign on my picture. Well, I followed it that's I turned left (southwards) and drove the main street of a village. After maybe 1 km, the street became unpaved. At this place there was unpaved, short road that ended with... a parking lot. I should stop there and walk to see archeological site called just "Rudaminos piliakalnis" located on Rudaminas Hill. But I didn't know that. Thus I turned back.

While walking don't be surpriced to see locals gaping at you. Well, they don't have many (any) visitors especially from abroad and to see the two (one with well seen camera) walking around (what for?) had to be something like to see invaders from space, real event in lazy, slow and boring local life.
