Soviet Army Military Base in the Green Forest / “Bunker” Park of Ideas
Infrastructure

Near Paliūniškis, on the left side of the Paliūniškis–Vabalninkas road (KK191) (there is a signpost), accessible via a forest path.

The Green Forest has been marked by the participants of the 1863–1864 uprising, the murderers of Jews in 1941, and Soviet and Lithuanian partisans. It was also used by the Soviet military. The forest was used as a training ground for the Soviet Air Force for bombing and shooting exercises. Local residents nicknamed this place the "bombardyne"; the holes made by the bombs have survived. A Soviet military base still stands in the forest. Little is known about its purpose and history. It was probably built in 1961–1977. It is said that it was a reserve military communications base. Although the media likes to call it the reserve headquarters of the Baltic Military District. A reinforced concrete slab fence, a bunker, and the remains of auxiliary buildings have survived.

In 2019, an amusement park, the Bunkeris Ideas Park, was established here. The former bunker introduces visitors to Cold War-era military and civil defense equipment, and features a horror room, which also features military and Soviet-themed decorations. The bunker is surrounded by a metal sculpture park.
