We invite you to actively commemorate the Day of Mourning and Hope this year - to walk the "route of exiled villages" during a walking tour, to remember the exiled people, and to share the stories of your families.
The lists of deportations and repressions carried out in 1941-1953 record the names of 243 localities from where people from our region were deported. During the walking tour, we will symbolically bypass only a few: Račiupėnai k., Smilgių k., Drūlėnai k. (we will not visit), Palėvenėlės k. (we will not visit), Aukštupėnai k., Plundakų k. Pyragių k.
We will enjoy a snack "The Exile's Dream" at the Plundakai Recreation Center.
Route length: up to 14 km.
WE INVITE YOU TO REGISTER. We invite you to come to the hike dressed in national symbols.
The walking tour "Let's Walk History" is organized by Vilija Morkūnaitė, Kupiškis Culture Center.
