"THE THERMAL LAND" Druskininkai by Avieira67

Druskininkai, birthplace of the outstanding artist and composer M.K.Ciurlionis, is situated in southern Lithuania, on the right bank of the Nemunas River, 135 km from Vilnius.
This town is a health resort, one of the largest in Lithuania, which was created primarily because of the gushing mineral springs in the area.
The architecture of the town is shaped by nature itself surrounded by pine forests and picturesque valleys of the Nemunas River, its tributary the Ratnyèia River and the Lake Druskonis right in the centre of town. The area is drowned in an aromatic sea of fir trees. The pine forests, sand and various bodies of water create a unique microclimate in which the air is fragrant and refreshing. The town has many walks, gardens and sculptures.
