 Invitation to the Festival-Competition "Kugelinės"

Sometimes we travel half the world without having seen the most beautiful places in Lithuania. The "Green Region," which connects the municipalities of Jurbarkas, Šilalė, Tauragė, and Pagėgiai districts, certainly has something to offer everyone—from breathtaking natural scenery to remote corners that tell ancient legends and stories of modern life., The name "Green Region" was not chosen by chance. In this landscape, known as the "Green Region," the past, present, and future intertwine, offering each traveler a unique route through intriguing historical labyrinths and nature trails. "After exploring this magnificent area, you will quickly understand why this name was chosen. The harmony of natural beauty and culture creates a special atmosphere. We want to preserve all of this, which is why we opt for green electricity and strive to make tourism services environmentally friendly. Visitors can travel on eco-friendly electric buses, and those driving electric vehicles will find charging stations in all the region's towns," says G. Mačiulaitienė, inviting those planning a trip to the "Green Region" to discover its most beautiful natural spots., You will see a castle of incredible beauty when you arrive in Tauragė—one of the most important historical monuments in this region., "In fact, Tauragė Castle was never a typical castle—it functioned as a customs office and later a prison. Today, it houses the regional museum 'Santaka,' where various cultural events, concerts, and exhibitions are regularly held. One of the legends says that beneath the castle is an undiscovered tunnel leading to Tauragė Manor under the Jūra River. Visitors will surely enjoy the well-kept park area with excellently maintained walking paths, rest zones, and picnic areas," shares Gaiva Mačiulaitienė, head of the Green Region. In Tauragė, you can also participate in the first and only educational program in Lithuania about renewable energy, "The Wind is Green." With the help of virtual reality glasses, you can ascend to a height of 220 meters and see not only the inside of a wind turbine and its mechanisms but also the landscape from above., Take time to explore the town of Tauragė and the district, nestled among the loops of the Jūra River, impressive hills, and scenic cliffs. See the spectacular Pagramantis cliff, whose layers reveal almost 200,000 years of history, and walk the Plynosios Bog and Akmena nature trails. While in Tauragė, make sure to visit Pagramantis Regional Park, a true sanctuary of nature. Here, the landscape is enhanced by majestic river valleys, impressive cliffs, and hanging bridges. From the observation tower in Pagramantis, located at the confluence of the Akmena and Jūra rivers, you can admire the full beauty of the landscape, and down by the river, you can feel the different temperatures of the converging waters., While traveling through this region, you'll not only enjoy the sights but also immerse yourself in culture and art, as the abundance of cultural events delights both locals and visitors year-round. For instance, the Tauragė JAZZ Festival and the International Tauragė Music Festival attract people from all over Lithuania. The latter is organized by opera soloist Liudas Mikalauskas, who hails from this town. The Vilkyškiai Organ Music Festival is also worth your attention, offering chamber music performances in churches, along with the Veliuona Summer Festival, Medvėgalis Arts Festival, and Bijotai Manor Festival, which invite listeners to return each year to this beautiful region to experience culture and lift their spirits., "We want to open the treasure chest of our region's heritage, traditions, and creativity to everyone, so we invite you to come and see it for yourself. We are confident that we will have something to surprise both first-time visitors and those returning again," says Gaiva Mačiulaitienė, director of VŠĮ "Green Region.", Read more: , https://www.delfi.lt/uzsakomasis-turinys/keliones/graziausiais-marsrutais-po-lietuva-keturias-savivaldybes-apjungiantis-zaliasis-regionas-nustebins-ne-viena-120041460

The Most Scenic Routes in Lithuania: The "Green Region" Connecting Four Municipalities Will Surprise Many

Tauragė will soon welcome a new four-star hotel, marking a significant development that could make it one of the most hospitable cities not just in Lithuania but across Europe. Local entrepreneurs are currently undertaking an ambitious project to breathe new life into the historic "Tauragė" building. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the renovated and modernized building will soon reopen its doors as a welcoming and comfortable hotel, transforming the tourism and business landscape of Western Lithuania., "Tauragė is now a city creating a resort-like atmosphere," says Eglė Rukšėnaitė, director of the hotel and SPA development company E77. "Tauragė challenges Lithuanian resorts and aims to become one of the most popular destinations for those seeking pleasant experiences during their travels or comfortable stays in the region. We anticipate a 55% occupancy rate, aligning with the average of successful hotels in Lithuania.", The renovated "Tauragė" hotel will feature a distinctive interior and be located near the city's landmark—its castle, in the main square. It will appeal to weekend vacationers, solo travelers, and local explorers, offering accommodation for both short and extended stays. The four-star hotel expects to host around 28,000 guests annually., The building has been completely renovated and modernized by a professional team of architects, maintaining the stylish aura of mid-20th century modernism. The new owners, UAB "Agavos prekyba," have revived this New York-style hotel, with the unique concept created by E77., "We aim to meet all guest expectations," says Tadas Alijošius, the hotel's director. "The 'Tauragė' hotel is the second in the city managed by our team, and it's four times larger than the first. However, our goal is to achieve the highest quality standards and receive top reviews that guests will gladly share after their stay. Our 'Senamiesčio apartamentai' in Tauragė, rated 9.7 by guests, have set a high standard. We aim for a perfect 10 for the renovated 'Tauragė' hotel, thus promoting Tauragė as one of the most hospitable cities in Europe.", Experienced hotel and SPA center development expert Eglė Rukšėnaitė predicts success for the new hotel: "A hotel of this level is new to Tauragė. High-quality, multifunctional hotels have been successfully operating in small European towns for decades, in countries like Germany, Sweden, and Poland. Recently, we have received numerous requests from small Lithuanian town municipalities to help develop hotels of this caliber, but businesses are often hesitant to undertake such projects in small towns.", In central Lithuania, there is no other hotel of this level that can accommodate 140-160 guests and offer both commercial space rentals and event venues. The hotel will feature 70 rooms, including single, double, and luxury suites. Each room will have a bathroom and kitchenette, while luxury suites will also include a living area., The hotel will also include a conference hall capable of hosting events for up to 100 participants. When combined with the restaurant, the space can comfortably accommodate up to 250 guests. The hotel's flexible and modern solutions will allow for easy conversion of spaces for smaller events, catering to groups of 10 to 50 people., For those who enjoy staying active, the hotel will offer a well-equipped gym accessible to all guests., The hotel's restaurant, AIKŠTĖ, with an outdoor terrace, will provide a great space for both work and relaxation. Local residents and visitors are invited to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the stylish outdoor terrace, bar, or lounge area with comfortable seating., Clearly, the hotel will meet the growing demand for accommodation in Tauragė, whether for business or family travel. Remote workers requiring focused environments will find designated quiet spaces., The owners of the "Tauragė" hotel will create 30 to 50 attractive jobs in the region. Positions such as managers, administrators, housekeepers, waiters, and other staff will be invited to contribute to the hotel's growth, creating a unique environment., These specialists will have opportunities for professional development, and after mastering hotel service standards and acquiring the necessary skills, they can explore new career fields., The modern renovation and other innovative solutions for the "Tauragė" hotel were designed by architect Algirdas Stripinis from the company "UP architektai.", The hotel has a long history, and the renovation aimed to respectfully preserve both the original architecture and the interior style. The strict geometric forms combined with elements of plastic lines create modern spaces, while subtle details evoke the modernism of the 1970s-1980s., The interior, created by the E77 team and interior architect Jurgita Masiukaitė, revives the traditions of mid-20th century style, complemented by the latest European-level technologies, ensuring unparalleled comfort during guests' stays.

"One of the most powerful moments in life is when a grown child starts calling me 'mom.' The first times it slips out through a filter of awkwardness—testing, weighing, wondering if it's too soon. I never show my emotions—accepting it naturally makes the transition into daily life smoother. For me, it's a recognition—I didn't give birth, I didn't raise them from the start, but I am 'mom.' It's an advance for being there from now on, until the end of the world," says Eglė Vaitkevičienė, a foster care ambassador and mother of 18 children., "To Raise a Person" is a unique traveling photography exhibition that portrays the daily moments of foster families across Lithuania. Over two years, families shared their stories and the warmest moments of their lives. This exhibition offers an up-close look at 15 families from different parts of Lithuania, all united by the fact that they became homes for children in need., Perhaps you too can become a home for children in Lithuania., More information about foster care is available at: , https://globoscentrai.lt/, Exhibition organized by the project: "Improving Child Welfare and Safety, Enhancing the Quality and Accessibility of Services for Families, Foster Parents (Guardians)" No. 08.4.1-ESFA-V-405-02-0001, Photographs captured by "Foto Plunksna."

It's an advance for being there from now on, until the end of the world," says Eglė Vaitkevičienė, a foster care ambassador and mother of 18 children.

"To Raise a Person" is a unique traveling photography exhibition that portrays the daily moments of foster families across Lithuania. Over two years, families shared their stories and the warmest moments of their lives. This exhibition offers an up-close look at 15 families from different parts of Lithuania, all united by the fact that they became homes for children in need.

Perhaps you too can become a home for children in Lithuania.
