About
Lithuanians are the last pagans on this continent. Paganism began to disappear in Lithuania at the end of the 14th century when Lithuania’s rulers accepted Christianity. The Baltic tribe Samogitians held on the longest – they only converted in the 15th century. Nowadays you can find Lithuanian sacral places in the pilgrimage routs.
A private tour of religious sites with an expert guide will make the most memorable day and you will enjoy the blend of traditional and modern sights.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nuernberg68er0 contributionsperfect private tour: Curonian spit and Klaipeda old tonWe have booked Vilma for the Curonion Spit and for Klaipeda old town afterward. The complete tour lastet about 9h. We drove with our own car and picked Vilma at the ferry terimal before we set over for the Curonion spit. She was equipped with lot's of pictures and charts about the history and things to see. She even had different types of sand samples with her. We stopped at several sights at Curonion (amber bay, death dune (climbed up), juodcranten...). She arranged at nice restaurant for the lunch break. She could also give good answers about actual and historical situation of Lithuania and the Baltic states. Finally we where back at Klaipeda for another 1,5h walk through the old town where she showed us some secrets. For the coming days she gave us some information about hiking tours in LIthuania and about old WW II bunker to see at the Curonion He can warmly recommend her!Written 29 August 2021

The Hill of Crosses is a unique and moving experience and a testament of faith and resilience of the Lithuanian people. I would definitely recommend visiting the site. It is hard to describe the amount of crosses at the site.
