Educational trail in the forest of the seat of God with a partisan bunker and monuments Trail

In 1947, partisans of the Žarėnai company of the Šatrija Unit, led by Edmundas Rekašius-Lakūnas, were stationed in the thicket of the Forest of the God of Thrones (Telšiai district). On 21 May 1949, during an operation by the KGB, a partisan camp was discovered, with 11 partisans in the camp at the time.
Seven partisans, including the commander of the Šatrija unit, Aloyzas Mažutis-Šarūnas, were killed in the exchange of fire. During the operation, four partisans were captured, and three of them – seriously wounded. Company commanders Edmundas Rekašius-Lakūnas and Steponas Rekašius-Darius managed to escape the siege. The burial places of the partisans killed in battle were determined by brothers Alfredas and Romualdas Jonušas, based on eyewitness testimonies and KGB documents. Nowadays, a cognitive trail has been developed at the Forest of the God of Thrones, where you can see the place where partisans died, the memorial cross, as well as the restored bunker where Zigmas Tomkus, the head of the operational division of the Šatrija Unit of Žemaitija County, lived and worked from 1947–1948, and where the partisans of the Šatrija Unit of Žemaitija County stayed in May 1949. While walking along the trail, you can see the restored partisan dugout of the Žarėnai Company, the place where a partisan, Irena BelazaraitėŽibuoklė, died, where a chapel has been installed, a cross with the surnames of the fallen partisans, a monument to the partisans of Žemaitija, and other memorial items.
