Adventure & Relax Together
Canoeing in Dzūkija
One of the most important rivers in south of Lithuania. Source of the river Merkys is in Belarus, Merkys flows into the biggest Lithuanian river Nemunas near Merkine. The length of river Merkys is 203 kilometres.
It's perfect river for kayaking, even if you are a beginner! The water of river Merkys is clear and crystal, there are many wooded coasts. River Merkys drift is not very fast, therefore it is not difficult to kayak. Kayaking in river Merkys is much easier than Ula, so we suggest kayaking in this river for beginners and families
Ula
is the most beautiful river not only in south Lithuanian region Dzūkija, but also in whole Lithuania. River Ula flows through Gudu wood, its source is in Belarus, Peluso’s localities, Ula flows into river Merkys near old village Mardasavas. Near its sources Ula flows through wide grasslands, in the middle Ula moves in canyon style valley and flows through old villages hidden in Gudu wood. River Ula landscape reservation territory begins, thus kayaking in this river is regulated by Dzukijos national park direction. Length of Ula river is 84 kilometres.
River Ula is really perfect for kayaking: the water is a bit cold of many springs, the stream is strong, there are many meanders and unforgettable sights!
Gruda
The left tributary of Merkys in Dzūkija National Park. At the village of Puvočiai, it flows into the Merkys River. Due to the many bends, loops, ditches, the abundance of piers installed in the villages, it is not easy to swim in this river. The main obstacles downstream are raised rocks and barriers.
While kayaking, you can admire the Grain loops, which are twisted like threads. Its length is 45 km, but it is recommended to swim about 30 km
Merkys River
It is said that Ūla's charm is the most prominent beauty of Dzūkija, Merkys. It is the ninth longest river. The length of the mark is about (200 km). Merkys is not a complicated river, passable by many tourists. Obstacles encountered include sunken trees and underwater stones.
Varėne River
Varėnė is the right tributary of Merkys. Varėnė River - in places with steep sandy banks, the river valley is rich in springs. Varėnė is perfect for water tourism. Four different types of it are enjoyed along the way. It is narrow and very winding - but quite deep, later meandering through a swampy valley. From time to time, however, the meadows are replaced by sandy cliffs.
Behind Lake Varėnis, it is shallow, it is full of ditches and other obstacles, and in that it reminds Ūla. It is dammed in front of Old Varėna and therefore expands into a wide pond.

We will always offer advise with the canoe instructors of the best routes to take depending on your needs and all safety advice is given and equipment provided

Merkine Pyramid
Great place to gather your thoughts and self meditate

The glass dome shines in the sunny Dzūkija forests. Inside the dome stands a three-pronged pyramid, and inside it are two unique crosses, which in a special way concentrate the subtle spiritual energy and convey it to the visitors of this space. People visit this seemingly unusual building in abundance. Being in it, during prayer and meditation, it gains positive energy, regains spiritual balance, and enjoys improved physical health.
The pyramid in Varėna district, Merkinė eldership, Česukai village was founded in 2002 - twelve years after the miracle that took place in this space in front of Povilas Žėkas and his relatives. Then, on the night of August 20, 1990, the residents of the farmstead and the guests who visited here witnessed a special event. People watched the stream of light emanating from the sky, and in it, as Paul was revealed in the voice of thought on the eve, he saw a figure of divine beauty. Thus the guardian angel Paul fulfilled for the seven-year-old child and his relatives on the nineteenth day of August 1990 during St. The Mass in the Church of Merkinė was a verbal promise of thought and showed a supernatural sign that strengthened the faith of Paul himself and his loved ones. The place of the supernatural event has for centuries been marked by a sign of divine grace.
Eleven years later, Paul accepted a spiritual mission for God himself and soon began to receive special spiritual training that changed the lives not only of Paul himself, but also of those interested in the knowledge he received. Another year soon passed when Povilas had his first great task: he would have to build a special building on the site of the Revelation twelve years ago - a pyramid, which would soon be visited by many people, establish direct contact with God during prayer, . As the soul strengthens and the body regains its physical strength, many miracles of healing will take place. Guided by deep faith, Paul, along with several spiritual companions, accomplished God’s will. Thus, one bright morning of the autumn of 2002, a three-pronged pyramid shone in Česukai.
The news about the unusual building that appeared in the forests of Dzūkija spread quickly. People from all over Lithuania were in a hurry to visit Česukai, see the pyramid and stay in it. There was a rumor about the unusual - healing - properties of this space. People who came to meditate in the space touched by God were enveloped in a particularly delicate field of energy formed during Revelation, which gave strength to the newcomers before they even entered the pyramid itself. Over time, the number of observations increased. More and more people have undergone a wide range of life-changing health and spiritual changes. So it was seven years.
In the spring of 2009, God conveyed to Paul the message that a twelve-and-a-half-meter-high dome would have to rise above the pyramid. The task needs to be completed by late autumn. In ex*****on of God's commission, a geodetic dome was erected in Česukai in the autumn of 2009, which, like a vault, enveloped the three-pronged pyramid, which in seven years of operation has already become a beloved temple of hearts. In the first days of June 2010, the Feast of the Coming of the Holy Spirit took place in the dome. The participants of the festival felt and saw the spiritual energy (light) of special transparency, experienced a strong inner uplift. It became clear that God accepted and blessed the works of men. The sending of the Holy Spirit is an extraordinary grace of God, characterized only by special - holy - places.
In the spring of 2015, Angel’s Room opened its doors to visitors. In it you can see a unique sculpture of the bearer of the divine message - the white angel. Entering the angelic space, people experience a special state of grace, the body is permeated by the flow of divine energy, and the heart is filled with true joy. Looking at the white angel, the guests of the homestead can feel the care of the angels, and by touching them, they can experience the refreshing closeness of the heavenly Father himself.

Todays Pick of a Must Visit

Hill of Crosses
The most important place of interest in the area is the Hill of Crosses north of Šiauliai. Visited both by pilgrims and irreligious tourists this place is a remarkable symbol of Lithuanian peaceful resistance to the Soviet occupation. People used to bring crosses to a hill once crowned by a medieval castle. The atheist Soviet government used to tear all the crosses down and persecute the pilgrims, but very soon the crosses would spring up again, restoring the number to hundreds and thousands.

In 1990 when Lithuanian independence was restored 14 387 large crosses and 40 944 small crosses were counted, covering an area of 4602 square meters. By 2007 the number surpassed 200 000. In 1997 a Franciscan monastery was built next to the hill. The monastery chapel (open for visiting) has a large window with the hill visible in the background instead of altar paintings.

The atmosphere in the Hill of Crosses may be surreal. Thousands of large wooden crosses are used as platforms for many times that number of small ones, all of which beautifully chime in the wind. Most of them bear inscriptions with names of the people and their reasons for erecting the cross. There are crosses built by biker clubs, political parties, ordinary families, pilgrims from far away lands, priests and every other category of people you may imagine. They thank God or ask for his guidance, remember life-changing events, seek help for some particular groups of the population. The inscriptions are largely Lithuanian, but you may find those in countless other languages representing different Christian denominations. The crosses are eagerly erected up to this day as you can see in the recent dates inscribed on some of the crosses.
