The Hill of Crosses (Jurgaiciai Domantai) is a very interesting and strange place in Lithuania. This mountain is located 12 km from Siauliai to the north and 2 km from the highway (to the right) Kaliningrad - Riga. I must say right away that this is not a cemetery. According to popular belief, everyone who puts a cross here will be lucky. Here you can find new crosses with the inscription "Thank you for your daughter", crosses made by graduates of local schools after their graduation, as well as numerous crosses from tourists with the signature "we were here" and the date. And in the photo there is a cross demonstrating what Russian craftsmen from region 77 are capable of))) There are more than 50.000 crosses in total. In addition to Catholic ones, there are other symbols.

Getting there: put the navigator 5600’55”N, 230”E.

There is a bus route: Siauliai - Hill of Crosses.

Or, from the bus station in Siauliai, go by regular bus Siauliai - Joniskis to the stop "Domantai". Third from the city.
