What is Lithuania?

Can you imagine the feeling of walking barefoot on the dewy grass and then on a paved road?

Like a walk in the morning grass, barefoot – this is how nature lovers describe their impressions of trips to Lithuania. Lithuanians really love and respect nature. After all, Lithuania was the last pagan country in Europe!
