There was a horse-drawn tram from Gelgaudiškis to Šakiai, also known as a “konkė”, which is like a narrow-gauge railway, only drawn by horses. They used a motorised winch to pull the wagon up the hill. The route included Panemunė and a ceramics factory.
Project Idea
What if we called travellers archigrims? This time your travel luggage is the Lithuanian national broadcaster’s (LRT) TV series „Stop juosta“ (“Stop Line”): together with the experts, not only we will explore, touch, learn about architecture and heritage but also sometimes slip through boarded-up doors or windows... Some buildings are gone... This is the message of the European modernist heritage of the beginning of the 20th century to a modern man. Modernism is a dialogue between cultures, search for identity, guarantee of success and progress. In the interwar period, not only Lithuania but also neighbouring countries - Poland, Latvia, and Belarus – were emerging. The new tourist routes will be interesting to find similarities and differences between these processes. Let’s travel together - hear, see, and experience.
