Fall Foliage Travel: 4x4 Through A Lithuanian Forest
Typically when you think of quaint villages and local charm surrounded by autumn colors, your mind fixates on the East Coast. But banish the thought, since Lithuania totally kicks butt in all of those departments.
The capital Vilnius has an old town city centre that is also a UNESCO heritage site, and from here you can grab excursions to the south of the country and its forests full of fresh air, like Dzukija National park or Grutas Park, the latter of which is peppered with statues of Soviet political figures—bring your fancy camera for these. But our highest recommendation goes to 4x4 off-roading through the forests.
There are many tour providers n Vilnius who will book you onto a 4x4 tour, but we'd rather do it ourselves. Therefore, we're taken by Baltic Stag's offer to give us a quick lesson and then unleash us upon the forest in their Jeep. This activity runs about 79 Euro, and includes an English speaking guide, transfers, professional instruction, safety instructions, and rental of 4x4 vehicles. Buckling up would be wise, because you can expect more than a few mud ruts and bumps in rainy Lithuania.
