What To Expect

Kryziu Kalnas

The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania is a unique and sacred site where thousands of crosses symbolize faith, hope, and resilience. The guide will share the history of its origins and significance today, after which visitors will have time to explore the site independently and, if they wish, leave a cross on the hill. Nearby, the Domus Mariae Monastery offers a place of peace and reflection, and its chapel is open to visitors.
