Exploring the Kėdainiai region isn’t limited to the streets of the old town. Sometimes the most memorable discoveries await in smaller towns – places where the history is told by the locals and can be experienced with all the senses.
Communities in the Kėdainiai region invite you to discover local crafts, culture and places of interest through the educational programmes they run.
In Krakės, the educational programme ‘150 Years in the Jewish Neighbourhood’ explores the history, customs and cuisine of the local Jewish community. In Ažytėnai, ‘The Road to Marriage’ takes visitors back to a village in Central Lithuania, exploring the traditions of young brides and stories of matchmaking. At the Nociūnai soap workshop, soap-making and traditional laundry methods are brought to life, whilst in Pelėdnagiai, ‘The Village of Owls’ invites visitors to listen to legends and discover the world of owls.
In Juodkaimiai, the ‘Spice Detective’ awaits – an exploration of the world of herbs through scent and taste. In Josvainiai, a video reveals the history of shoes – yet another unexpected gem of the region.
Whilst the world is rushing by, we invite you to pause, experience and discover the Kėdainiai region. Take a look at this video about these places:
