Panemunes plentas (Near-Nemunas road)

by Sonic747

This scenic road crossing the southern part of Apskritis and connecting it to Kaunas and Klaipeda is known for beutiful sights and interesting places around it. In Taurages Apskritis, the road for the most of way goes beside Nemunas, and that suggested it's name. At the other side of Nemunas at this place is Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia, therefore the river is not just a geographical, but also a political boundary. Nemunas is the major river of Lithuania and there fore frequently labeled as "The father of Lithuanian rivers". Most of Lithuania is in Nemunas's basin.Beside the river at Lithuanian side, alongside the road you'll encounter a few medieval castles, as well as tranquil small towns and beutiful natural view.

Castle of Raudone

by Sonic747

One of magnificiant castles of Lithuania, Raudone's castle is built atop 35 meters hill and it's highest tower is even taller. You can go on top of it and see remarkable sights of river Nemunas and surroundings.Castle was built in XVI age, however due to later reconstructions in XVII and XIX ages, it changed alot. Some parts of first castle still remains though, and neo-gothic additions from XIX age just makes it even more remarkable.
