(Ne)dingęs Vilnius: žygis per kalvų istorijas | Ekskursija- žygis Vilniuje

Vilnius, like Rome, has been on seven hills-and this is not just a winged phrase. Did you know that there are as many as five mounds in the heart of Vilnius located next to each other? And the oldest part of the city is not the Old Town, but the area that many know as a mountain park.

More than 600 years ago. There was a crooked castle with the city next to the city and the real throne wars were held: arrows up, and even the future king of England raised the flag. Crooked castle collapsed, and manors and gardens began to form on the mounds, and the Botanical Garden paths stretched with serpentine. When Vilnius found itself in the tsarist oppression, there was a military fortress on these hills-another attempt to control this strategically important place. The hills had shouts and passions again - this time the sport. When the Soviets occupied the city, they decided to concrete the story by creating a socialist "Disneyland" instead of the curved city. Thus, the former crooked city, later called Altaria, disappeared from the memory and turned into a mountain park, and the oldest part of the city finally overgrown with trees. But seven hills, five mounds, many valleys and amazing city views are still there in the Vilnius Castle Reserve.

Tour of this place is a trip to the heart of the lost city and it will be a little different from our usual: we will climb the mountains, so put on comfortable shoes, choose clothes for the hike and take water. And we will, as always, awaken your imagination with real, spectacular stories.
