Hill of Crosses is a truly unique site which will take your breath away! It is is a site of pilgrimage dating back to 1830ties when people started to place crosses here to pray for their loved ones they've lost in the battles (Lithuanian - Polish commonwealth uprising against Russian Empire).
In Soviet times this place served as a peaceful protest action against Soviet regime as they tried to destroy the place many times while locals kept coming back and placing more crosses all the time.
The Hill of Crosses was visited by Pope John Paul II back in 1993 and since then this place has become very popular - not only between locals but also tourists from all over the world!
Don't be intimidated by the fact that it is a pilgrimage site. Even if you're not religious, please note that everyone is welcome to visit this beautiful sight as long as you respect everyone else visiting it!

Perfekte private Tour mit Krista zum Berg der Kreuze. Krista ist sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend, professionell und gut informiert. Sie hat uns alles super erklärt und viele interessante Informationen über das Land und die Kultur mit uns geteilt. Vermutlich eine der besten Touren die wir je gemacht haben. Wir würden die Tour jedem empfehlen, der mehr über Lettland, Riga, Litauen und den Berg der Kreuze erfahren will. Tipp: Die private Tour lohnt sich. Am besten direkt über Krista buchen. Fazit: Preis-Leistung stimmt. Wir würden die Tour jederzeit wieder genau so buchen!

Our family had a fantastic tour with Janis. He was a knowledgable and energetic tour guide, and we truly enjoyed his company for the day. He was attentive if we needed to stop, and kept our tour on track. The Hill of Crosses was an incredible and unique experience, and well worth the trip. I would definitely recommend this trip!
