Šiauliai district and Hill of Crosses | Lithuania travel guide

Šiauliai district is the region around Šiauliai city and it is home to the famous Hill of Crosses - a truly unique place, not just in Lithuania but in the whole world. It was a great trip to see this and all that nature the district had to show - I particularly liked Kurtuvėnai Regional Park. Maybe because it was my first bigger trip to nature this spring 🙂

    Springtime anywhere in Lithuania must be awesome. Those camels never turn down a good meal when they see one. ( LOL )

    I had previously not known the beautiful and heartfelt history of the hill of crosses. I enjoy your informative and well made videos. The drone imagery is exceptional and really enhances them. The narrative is very good and your voice is soothing to hear. Take care!

    The same reason as in all developed nations. The population left the farms and moved to the urban centers where the employment is: children then became expensive luxuries instead of free farm labor. The birth rate decreased and the population declined. Also, under the rule of the Germans and especially the Russians, there were forced deportations of the intelligentsia and any rebellious individuals. Some were outright executed. Many of those remaining were conscripted into the armies of the occupiers until the Balts broke away from the Soviets in 1990. Now they thrive speaking their own languages and practicing their own customs. Let’s wish them a prosperous future with a climbing birth rate.
