Embark on a unique voyage across Kaunas Lagoon, where breathtaking landscapes reveal stories hidden beneath the water.
Some places disappear from maps, yet never disappear from memory.
Beneath the calm surface of Kaunas Lagoon lies an entire lost world: villages, roads, family homes, human destinies and forgotten stories. What remains unseen today still lives through memories, legends and traces of the past.
"Virš paskendusio slėnio" is not just a vessel trip. It is a living historical experience that allows you to see, hear, touch and even taste history.
This is not a guided tour. It is an immersive journey through time, inviting you to discover the history of the Lost Valley not only through stories, but also through objects, flavours, participation and personal experience.
As we travel above the former Nemunas River valley, we journey through different periods of Lithuanian history, exploring ancient settlements, trade routes, hillforts and the everyday lives of the people who once lived here.
