Visitors’ impressions

Asta and the family

"A real treasure trove of ideas! Many thanks to the people who came up with the Grace route. We chose the sections that were the most interesting and suitable for us, we learned many new things and had a wonderful time. We definitely recommend it."

Virginijus B.

„Even though my wife and I only walked a small section, we will definitely come back to visit all the most important points of the Grace route. It is wonderful that there are such extensive guides for people who want to get to know their country better."

A. P. from Kaunas

"It may not be possible to visit every point, but visiting holy places is a must for every religious Lithuanian. We managed to plan our time well and everything went very smoothly. We learned many new things."
