Review:
Alytus is an ancient town that dates back to the 14th century featuring beautiful forest covered hills surrounded by an almost ten-mile-long bend of the Nemunas River. The town is a cultural and natural oasis with a rich yet saddening history. Monuments like the obelisk that was built over a mass burial ground of civilians and war prisoners killed during the horror of World War II tell of a tragic past. The broken Star of David and the Old Garden of the City with its Freedom Monument should also be visited. Regional Parks, Meteliai, Dzukija, and Nemunas, as well as the Zuvintas Reserve, are ideal stops for naturalists.
