On 15 January 2020, the second year students of Ecotourism with the teacher Violeta Urbaite-B\u016bdelien\u0117 did a practice in the city of Kaunas.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Each of the students had to present and tell about a chosen place of interest, or a historical object \u2013 in the role of a guide. The tour started from the historical pride of Kaunas city, standing near Kaunas Castle \u2013 the Freedom Warrior-Vytis. One of the students, Andrius Kiau\u0161as, at the start of the tour briefly told about this impressive sculpture. Walking further, the students heard the story by their colleague, Aist\u0117 Metelionyt\u0117, about one of the largest and oldest Kaunas Gothic architecture churches \u2013 St. George the Martyr Church.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaunas Town Hall<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 the heart of Kaunas, famous for its old history, dating back to the 16th century, was presented by the student Mantas Salamanavi\u010dius. Walking towards the historic Presidential Palace, through the oldest part of the city \u2013 Kaunas Old Town, we heard Greta Patarakait\u0117\u2019s narrative about this place. Student Lukas Ka\u010denauskas made a presentation about one of the most important places in the Temporary Capital – the Historical Presidential Palace of the Republic of Lithuania.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walking towards other places of interest, we heard about the coin chest from the times of Sigismund Augustus, which was guarded by the majestic Laisv\u0117s Al\u0117ja (Liberty Avenue). Its story in detail was told by the student Deimil\u0117 \u0160ulcait\u0117. Nearby, one of the oldest churches in Kaunas, St. Gertrude\u2019s Church was visited. We learned about it from the student Mantas Pagojus. Cultural objects, such as the Central Post Office, National Kaunas Drama Theatre, Kaunas State Musical Theatre, were presented by students Edvinas Pa\u017e\u0117ra and Rytis Rinkevi\u010dius. Ervinas Mitkus told us about one of the largest Lithuanian universities \u2013 Vytautas Magnus University. One of the most interesting museums in Kaunas is the Vytautas the Great War Museum. This object of interest was presented by students Oskaras Maselskas and Jolita Daujotait\u0117. To relax and to have a meal, the students chose also a historic restaurant in the very centre of the city, the Metropolis Restaurant-Hotel, which was frequented by many famous people, and we heard from Kristina Marcinkevi\u010di\u016bt\u0117 about their visits. Having some free time, the students had fun participating in quizzes organized by one of the students, Jolita Daujotait\u0117. She presented the winners with a sweet prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the visit at the restaurant, students headed towards the only museum of its kind in the world \u2013 the Devils\u2019 Museum. There, a professional guide told about the devil\u2019s sculptures, about the works of the famous artist Antanas \u017dmuidzinavi\u010dius, and his life. Ugn\u0117 Mencevi\u010di\u016bt\u0117 also provided us with some information about this place.<\/span><\/p>\n

The students listened to the story of Gabriel\u0117 Talalajevait\u0117 about the historical \u017daliakalnis funicular, which they all took to visit the last object of the tour \u2013 Christ\u2019s Resurrection Church-Basilica. Student Lukas Jank\u016bnas told about this impressive temple.<\/span><\/p>\n

The students heard a lot of interesting information from each other, visited unseen objects and enjoyed the fun practice that everyone did on the walking tour together.<\/span><\/p>\n
