Military Heritage Tourism
  Jälgijad: 1943
Today we conclude to explore 🔎 Hiiumaa and its military heritage 🪖 by visiting Orjaku military harbour ⚓️, and Elamuskeskus Tuuletorn - Windtower Experience, where it was possible to see and learn interesting and interactive solutions for creating experiences for visitors. Our Military Heritage tourism experience exchange trip 🚌 to Estonia 🇪🇪 began on Monday with first site visit to Railway and Communications Museum (Raudtee- ja Sidemuuseum) 🚂 in Haapsalu. This museum is housed in a train station built in the early 20th century and it showcases the one-and-a-half centuries of development of Estonian railways and mediums of communication. The outdoor exhibition also displays a World War II steam locomotive. 💡 It was really interesting and useful to get to know the military heritage tourism examples and experiences from the previous Estonia-Latvia Programme military hetitage project from our friends in Estonia 🤝 for the future product development in Latvia and Lithuania. ℹ️ This activity is organized within the project LL-00052 “Extending the Baltic military heritage tourism product in Lithuania and South Latvia" (Military Heritage II), which is being implemented with the support of the European Union Interreg Latvia - Lithuania Programme. #militaryheritage #latlit #visithiiumaa #militaryheritagetourism #militaryhistory Lauku Ceļotājs / Baltic Country Holidays | Zemgales Plānošanas reģions / Zemgale Planning Region | AtostogosKaime.lt | Žemaitijos nacionalinis parkas | Latgale.Travel

Rainiai Chapel of Suffering 🎚 📍On June 25-26, 1941, one of the most gruesome massacres in the history of the Soviet occupation of Lithuania took place in Rainiai forest. During the night, 76 political prisoners from Telšiai prison - intellectuals from the Telšiai region, were brutally tortured and killed by the Red Army and Soviet repressive institutions. The bodies of the victims, buried in a common grave, were discovered a few days later by a passerby. 📍To commemorate the memory of the victims and the suffering of all victims of the Soviet regime, the Rainiai Chapel of Suffering was built in 1991. This bright and minimalist sanctuary, created by prominent Lithuanian artists, has become a place of peaceful rest and reflection. The chapel's interior is dominated by white, symbolizing purity and innocence, while the red traces of blood in the stained-glass windows serve as a reminder of the brutal massacre. 📍The Rainiai Chapel of Suffering is not only a memorial but also a reminder that we must never forget the lessons of history and must continue to fight for freedom and democracy. 📍More about the Chapel: https://www.muziejusalka.lt/main-meniu-chapel-of-the-passion-of-the-saints/ 📍Audioguide in EN: https://zemaitijoskelias.lt/en/objects/rainiai-massacre-place-and-chapel-complex #latlit #interreg #militaryheritage #heritagetourism #militaryheritagetourism

🧩🗺Uz salas Daugavā, Koknesē atrodas "Likteņdārzs". Tā ir vieta, kur satiekas pagātne, tagadne un nākotne. 📌Šeit izveidota arī piemiņas vieta Sibīrijas mātēm. Par viņu pašaizliedzību un lielo uzupurēšanos atgādinās vārdi: "Māt, tu man dāvāji dzīvību divreiz. Kad piedzimu un kad nenomiru badā. Sibīrijas bērns". 🪖Tāpat dārza teritorijā saglabājušies Pirmā pasaules kara ierakumi. Tajos latviešu strēlniekiem izveidota piemiņas vieta, ko atklāja strēlnieku pulku dibināšanas 100. gadadienā. Tās kompozīciju veido divas daļas. Latvijas laukakmeņu grupa simbolizē mājās palikušos, bet laukakmeņu rinda, kas izvietota Pirmā pasaules kara ierakumos, – latviešu strēlniekus. ​ 📸Pateicamies par foto Visit Aizkraukles novads | Visit Koknese ➡️Vairāk: https://www.liktendarzs.lv/ #latlit #interreg #militaryheritage #heritagetourism #militaryheritagetourism

🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 Pirms 35 gadiem, 1989. gada 23. augustā, notika tautas akcija “Baltijas ceļš”, kad apmēram divi miljoni cilvēku, 🤝sadevušies rokās, veidoja apmēram 670 km garu dzīvo ķēdi, kas savienoja Baltijas valstu galvaspilsētas. ✨"Baltijas ceļš" bija unikāla akcija ne vien Baltijas, bet visas Eiropas un pat pasaules mērogā. Tās mērķis bija pievērst uzmanību un atgādināt 50 gadus vecus notikumus – Ribentropa-Molotova pakta noslēgšanu. 👉 Latvijas un Igaunijas Unguriņu-Lilli robežpunktā 2009. gadā, pieminot "Baltijas ceļa" divdesmitgadi, tika izveidota Baltijas ceļam veltīta skulptūra. Skulptūras ideja dod iespēju jebkurā brīdī kopā ar skulptūru kļūt par “Baltijas ceļa” sastāvdaļu: https://militaryheritagetourism.info/lv/military/sites/view/585
Kaušėnai Holocaust Memorial ⛰Near Plungė city there is a tree-covered Kaušenai countryside hill, in which around 1800 Jews of Plungė district were murdered and buried on July 15-16, 1941. 🎚Initially, they were kept closed in a synagogue without food for two weeks, under antisanitarian conditions. After that, they had to walk about 5 kilometers to the place of execution. They had to dig up the pits themselves, get out and stand at their edge and the Budels started to fire... Another group of victims had to bury the dead and dig a new pit for themselves... 📌The last Jew of Plungė , Jakov Bunka, a veteran of the Second World War lost his grandparents, his youngest sister, father and brother during the war. The rest of his life, he devoted to the remembrance of the killed Plungė Jews. Together with his wood carving friends, he founded the Kaušėnai Memorial.

Šateikiai ground missile base is one of the four ground bases in Lithuania, built around 1960. Similar bases were also built in Tauragė, Karmėlava, and Ukmergė. 🚀The base had four R-12U (SS-4 Sandal) medium-range ballistic missile launching platforms. 🚀In 1962, during the Caribean Crisis, nuclear missiles were transported from Šateikiai base to Sevastopol by train, then shipped to Cuba on commercial ships. 🚀The base was also put on high alert during the Prague Spring in 1968. 🚀No missiles were ever launched from the Šateikiai base. 🚀The base was closed around 1978. 🚀Šateikiai and Plokštinė missile launching bases were part of a single military unit. A large infrastructure with various buildings was established in a large forested area around Šateikiai to support them. 🚀The base is now completely abandoned, and the missile launch sites are in ruins. However, there are still six hangars that can be visited while exploring the area. #latlit #interreg #militaryheritage #heritagetourism #militaryheritagetourism
