What To Expect

Hill of Crosses

The precise beginnings of Lithuania's Kryžių Kalnas, also known as the Hill of Crosses, are shrouded in mystery. Situated just beyond the northern city of Šiauliai, this site has become a sanctuary for thousands of metal and wooden crosses, accumulated over almost two centuries. Amidst the gusts of wind, rosaries sway, creating a melodic backdrop to the array of saintly icons and cherished photographs of local heroes. Despite numerous efforts to dismantle it, this unconventional pilgrimage destination persists as a poignant symbol of faith and dedication.
