Activity itinerary

Hill of Crosses
  • 1h
The precise beginnings of Lithuania's Kryžių Kalnas, also known as the Hill of Crosses, are shrouded in mystery. Situated just beyond the northern city of Šiauliai, this site has become a sanctuary for thousands of metal and wooden crosses, accumulated over almost two centuries. Amidst the gusts of wind, rosaries sway, creating a melodic backdrop to the array of saintly icons and cherished photographs of local heroes. Despite numerous efforts to dismantle it, this unconventional pilgrimage destination persists as a poignant symbol of faith and dedication.
