GRUTAS park. A park, dedicated to Soviet time sculptures, there you can find Lenin, Stalin, Dzerzinski and some other russian and lithunian famous people. These sculptures were moved from places they stayed after the Lithuania became free were and started to destroy. One man took them all to one place, to the park. This park is near Druskininkai, 110 km to South from Vilnius.Druskininkai is also nice town, you should spend some time to walk there around !
With mould and lichen overgrown,Behold, revered Trakai!Its great lords lie in graves unknown,The castle though stands highYet from time’s fury unprotected The walls are crumbling, long neglected.

When you're there take a chance to visit Kretinga - by minivan or bus from the bus station 15 minutes - you'll find a small beautiful city near the river, personally for me one of the most beautiful benedictian monasteries, Count Tiskevicius estate with a museum and amazing winter garden inside - go through the museum , wander into winter garden, there's a cafe inside the garden, it's a popular place for weddings to come for photo shooting as it's a very beautiful place. Also there's usual...
