August weather
The climatic conditions of Lithuania in the last month of summer are suitable for all categories of holidaymakers, regardless of age. The mild climate and relatively warm weather make it possible to continue beach activities and sea baths, combining them with walks in shady parks or sightseeing..
The average July temperature throughout the republic is +22 ° C (during the day), +12 ° C (at night). Bathers are pleased with the water temperature in the Baltic: in Palanga +23 ° C, in neighboring Klaipeda +24 ° C.
Holy mountain
An amazing place worth visiting for any Christian, the Hill of Crosses, which is the shrine of the Catholic world. According to popular beliefs, every pilgrim will have good luck in life if he leaves a cross here. In this case, it does not matter at all whether the cross is huge or completely miniature, made of gold or copper.
Today this area looks fantastic: thousands of huge wooden crosses as tall as a person are hung with a variety of pectoral crosses. The true reason for the appearance of this shrine can not be named either by historians or cultural experts. Belief in a miracle makes it attractive in the eyes of ordinary people of different skin colors and different religions, who leave crosses here in exchange for hope.
Delicious journey
Lithuanian cuisine is one of the most amazing on the planet, starting with strange names, unusual for a Slavic ear, and ending with an incomparable taste and aroma. Therefore, part of your vacation in August can be devoted to a delicious pastime..
There are especially many restaurants and cafes in the capital, famous for their national cuisine. But pay attention to small home-made restaurants located further from the main streets. It is in such cozy places that you can try real potato zeppelins (in shape and size they resemble the famous airships). Potato pancakes with meat are called «zemaychu», the same grated potato, but seasoned with bacon and hidden in the pork intestine, received the name «buckets».
