Travel route: Vilnius- Druskininkai- Vilnius.
If you aren’t familiar with the Lithuanian nature, you’re in for a treat! A short trip to Druskininkai might reveal some unexpected, hidden gems. Because Lithuania has some great sites to discover. Its nature is beautifull all year around. The 4 seasons make every one of them special, because there are different things to enjoy. Summers are hot and you can swim in lakes, a common practice in Lithuania. Autumn brings colours – red, yellow, and a bit of grey – to the country. Winters are snowy, maybe less so in the recent years, but beautiful nonetheless, which is beautiful in its own way. Ann when spring comes, birds sing and so does every Lithuanian’s heart. Because after a long winter, the long awaited spring is balm for the soul.
