Tour: Special Trees and Stones of Vilnius

Vilnius is a special city where the urban fabric harmoniously blends with the natural environment. It is not without reason that one of the values mentioned in the UNESCO nomination file is Vilnius's harmonious connection between the naturally formed terrain of the Old Town and its urban structure. In other words, human activity and the natural environment coexist well in the city. I invite you to search for and capture objects of living and non-living nature in Vilnius. These are unique trees and stones that we perhaps pass by often without paying attention. Therefore, I invite you to take a walk through well-known or lesser-known places in Vilnius and pay attention to natural objects. And there will be quite a few of them (14 short stops).

where the oldest trees in the Old Town grow,

the most expensive insured tree,

what we know about the only tree in the Jewish ghetto,

luxurious paving,

stumbling stone,

an animal fossil in a church and other objects.

Route length - about 5 km. 6200 steps. I recommend wearing comfortable footwear.

Start and end: monument to Grand Duke Gediminas (Cathedral Square)
