Partizanų keliai ir takai Aukštaitijoje

In Utena, not far from the intersection of the Kaunas–Daugavpils (A6) and Vilnius–Utena (A14) highways.

The museum was established in 2015 in the former Utena narrow-gauge railway station. As it is presented, it is a museum that breathes poetry and subtly reveals the truth of the post-war period. The exhibition “Common European Identity in the Context of Totalitarian Regimes” offers to learn about the past of all of Lithuania and Europe through the history of one Lithuanian...

In Šimoniai Forest, driving along road 1216 (there is a directional sign and a stand).

Šimonias Forest was the center of operations of the largest partisan unit of Aukštaitija, Algimantas District, during the post-war Lithuanian partisan struggles. In 1945, about 200 partisans were active in this district, and in 1952, only 20-30 partisans.

This hideout housed the Eastern Lithuanian (King Mindaugas) regional headquarters of the Lithuanian partisans from 1944 to 1949. In the summer of 1944, Balys Žukauskas founded the hideout with his brothers Petras and Juozas Jovaišas and began hiding from the mobilization into the Red Army announced in 1944. At the end of 1945, Antanas Slučka-Šarūnas began visiting the...

In the center of the town of Troškūnai, Anykščiai district, next to the Holy Trinity Church.

During the partisan war of 1944–1953, the territory of Lithuania was divided into 9 partisan districts. In 1947–1950, the Lithuanian partisan Algimantas district operated in the Panevėžys and Anykščiai areas, the establishment of which is closely linked to Troškūnas. The residents of this town organized partisan units in Aukštaitija. The first commander of the Algimantas district...

In the central part of Panevėžys city.

The exhibition is located in an authentic location – the headquarters of the Panevėžys group of the Lithuanian Reform Movement. Panevėžys members of the Movement have been working here since October 1988.

In the central part of Panevėžys city.

At the end of the 19th century, the houses built by the famous Panevėžys citizens Moigai were expropriated by the Soviets. In 1940–1941, they housed the headquarters of a Soviet army unit, the NKGB Panevėžys district interrogation department, and the militia. One night in June 1941, the Soviet occupiers tortured three doctors from the Panevėžys hospital and four other people in...

The forest is accessible by a forest road, which is accessed after passing Rinkūnas and the Pyvesa River on road 3111.

Northern Lithuania, and especially the regions of Pasvalys and Joniškis, have had strong traditions of partisan warfare since the time of the War of Independence in 1918–1940. The first partisan units were organized here. These traditions, although not very clearly, continued after World War II, and in 1944, individual partisan units began to form in the region...

After turning off the regional road 3604 (Rokiškis – Maineivos – Naujasodė) between Juodupė and Žobiškis towards Plunksnočiai forest

Hiding from persecution and prying eyes, Lithuanian partisans built bunkers in the strangest and most unexpected places: in forest thickets, farmers' baths, under sheds and barns, on floating islands in lakes and swamps.

In Obeliai, Vytauto St. (Obeliai–Zarasai road, KK117) on the left side (there is a directional sign).

The museum was founded in 1998. It presents the development of the Lithuanian state, the history of the Obeliai region, Lithuanian folk art, and a large part of the exposition is devoted to the theme of the struggle for freedom. It is not for nothing that this museum is presented as an institution of patriotic and national education.

It is accessible from the town of Antazavė via forest roads.

At the end of 1944, the Lithuanian partisan Lokis detachment was formed in the Antazavė area of northeastern Lithuania, led by former Lithuanian army officer Captain Mykolas Kazanas. The emerging detachment set up five low-lying areas on a hill densely covered with fir and pine trees near Lake Vincežeris, in the Antazavė forest.
