About this event
Early bird tour at 6:00 AM at the Kaunas Fortress fort!
Tour guide RIMUTĖ's tour:
"... The sun rises. They start eating breakfast. Then machine guns begin to rattle. The noise of the battle grows, intensifies, approaches. A few lightly wounded soldiers pass by. Somewhere there, in front, a fight is taking place. Breakfast is interrupted..."
From P. Englund's "The Beauty and the Sorrow".
Feel the spirit of the Kaunas Fortress forts early in the morning!
A fort is just one of the components of the fortress. Let's go inside the forts: to see the barracks up close, examine the ammunition and armament depots, and the places where soldiers defended the fortress. Let's climb onto the embankment, touch the ground and walls wounded by cannon shells. Let's be part of historical events, let's transport ourselves to a period spanning the second century. More about this during the tour.
