Have you ever wondered why the words nature and civilization always appear as having opposite meanings? Most probably, we have got so far from our primitive environment and changed it so much that we cannot call it nature any more. It is our culture, or civilization, which started with discovery, and developed with man’s ideas, dreams, aspirations, and the endeavour to preserve and pass all that has been achieved to the coming generations.
Today, the ever increasing requirements imposed on us by the rapidly developing technologies, scientific discoveries, as well as the factor of globalization have made the world look like an anthill where everyone is very busy and always in a hurry. However, man is not a robot, but still part of nature. We still need rest sometimes; and peace; and a moment in fresh air… And so we hopefully turn back to the primitive environment we have alienated from, hoping to find relaxation in the countryside. This craving for everything that short holidays in the country can offer our exhausted minds and bodies is becoming more and more conspicuous. In fact, it has lead to the appearance of the term ‘countryside tourism’ (and, of course, the very business meant under this term).
If you need a break from the stressful city life, fancy all the fun nature and a secluded homestead amid the rolling fields may offer. Imagine for a while a wonderful escape in the Lithuanian countryside.
Countryside tourism in Lithuania is aimed at purposeful exploitation and preservation of the most attractive and interesting things that may be found in the countryside: unspoiled nature and local traditions.
Lithuania is a land of wavering hills, mysterious woods, crystal lakes, and peaceful rivers. Besides the longing for this countryside romanticism, we often find ourselves in search for the exotic: something unusual, unique, and inspiring… It goes without saying that what makes a place exotic is its local character – its traditions, customs, history, trades, culinary heritage and aesthetic tastes still cherished by country people. The days of yore are gone, but you can still feel the spirit of the ancient times in the Lithuanian countryside known for its numberless churches, wooden chapels and crosses, monuments for champions of liberty, castles and ancient forests, where the origin of every mound and every stone is entwined in legends…
A modern Lithuanian homestead in a countryside environment is the perfect place to spend your holidays. About 700 homesteads scattered throughout the country can provide their guests with the main facilities for everyday needs (kitchen, shower, WC), leisure (sauna, swimming pool, children’s playground), equipment for disabled people, conference halls for meetings, etc.). Those who enjoy active holidays will be amazed at the assortment of outdoor activities available: fishing, hunting, horse riding, cycling, off-roading, hot air ballooning, winter sports, water sports and so on. The hosts also offer their service at organizing sightseeing tours, celebrations and outdoor events. Whatever the idea of your holiday trip abroad – relaxation, a meeting, corporate celebration, or active recreation – you will find what you need at the Lithuanian homestead.
Escape from the cramped city streets for a weekend - experience the fun, beauty and uniqueness of the Lithuanian countryside during your stay at a homestead!
