The Vilnius region is a cradle of intercultural dialogue and heritage. In Nemenčinė, one of the oldest settlements in Lithuania, history blends seamlessly with the present, forming a mosaic of colorful traditions and customs. Nestled by the Nemenčia River, the town of Nemenčinė serves as an attraction center, inviting visitors to explore the Vilnius Region Ethnographic Museum. Established in 2000, this institution is dedicated to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of Lithuanians, Russians, Poles, Belarusians, and other ethnic groups. In the museum's dynamic exhibition spaces, visitors can discover unique displays of folk art, painting, photography, and ancient crafts. The Vilnius Region Ethnographic Museum is not just a place for exhibitions; it is a vibrant
cultural and educational center hosting concerts, conferences, and educational activities for both children and adults. The local forestry department ensures that the surrounding forest areas are meticulously maintained, offering visitors well-kept recreational and play areas as well as beautifully maintained cycling paths. Nearby natural attractions, such as the Skališkės Rock and the prominent bridge over the Neris River, reveal the region's natural beauty and deep historical roots. One of the most distinctive landmarks is the inscription "Žalgiris 600" formed by 7,000 spruce trees in the Bezdonių Forest, visible from the air. This is not only the largest living monument in the world but also a powerful reminder of the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald.
