"Viktoria"
Unique Experiences on Kaunas Lagoon!
Where Stories, Nature and People Come Together
 

 „Virš paskendusio slėnio“

Signature Historical Experience Above the Lost Valley


When a Journey Becomes an Experience of History

Embark on a unique voyage across Kaunas Lagoon, where breathtaking landscapes reveal stories hidden beneath the water.


Some places disappear from maps, yet never disappear from memory.


Beneath the calm surface of Kaunas Lagoon lies an entire lost world: villages, roads, family homes, human destinies and forgotten stories. What remains unseen today still lives through memories, legends and traces of the past.


"Virš paskendusio slėnio" is not just a vessel trip. It is a living historical experience that allows you to see, hear, touch and even taste history.


This is not a guided tour. It is an immersive journey through time, inviting you to discover the history of the Lost Valley not only through stories, but also through objects, flavours, participation and personal experience.


As we travel above the former Nemunas River valley, we journey through different periods of Lithuanian history, exploring ancient settlements, trade routes, hillforts and the everyday lives of the people who once lived here.

Created by Sigita Paliokienė, this original experience was inspired by the stories of Kaunas Lagoon and the secrets quietly preserved beneath its waters.

 


The Historical Experience: "Virš paskendusio slėnio"

This immersive cultural journey combines history, storytelling, nature and taste.
Aboard "Viktoria", we travel above the Lost Valley of the Nemunas River - a landscape where ancient burial sites, old roads, villages, farmsteads and forgotten landmarks once stood before the creation of Kaunas Lagoon.

  

During the journey you will:
☸ listen to engaging stories about the Lost Valley and its people

☸ explore historical artefacts and authentic objects
☸ take part in light interactive and discovery-based activities
☸ learn about traditional crafts, customs and everyday life from different historical periods
☸ discover how the landscape changed through time
☸ enjoy a tasting experience inspired by historical periods and local heritage

 

Every participant experiences the journey differently.


For some, it is a fascinating discovery. For others, an emotional encounter with the past. Many leave with a deeper understanding of Lithuania's cultural heritage and a renewed connection to place and memory.
