Visit Vienkiemis in Lithuania
As I remember my earlier life in the capital, I understand how limited I was. My life was limited. I thought that Vilnius is the best what I can have in my life while living in Lithuania. That was very limited thinking. Lithuania is not only Vilnius, as I see know, and the happiness of life in the biggest city we have is exaggarated. There are many more better places to life, to raise children, to work and to simply live. The problem of living in a big city was that I actually did not have my life. My time flew without the possibility to stop it, to be, to enjoy. There I leant always to do something: two jobs and the Master's studies at the same time, active leisure and no time just to live. Only know I understand how crazy it was, because I can hardly remember my days then. The pressure of always being active did not let me feel enjoy my life. I always felt that my life lacked something, and now I know what. I still have to fight inside myself for stopping and enjoying my life, but I am sure that I will soon learn it at my new home...
Near my new home (we are moving tomorrow!) there is a magnificent place under the name of Vienkiemis. It is a complex of passive and active leisure spaces, water (sauna) and nature, animals and people, rest and movement.
Bellow you can find the information, given by Vienkiemis.
Visitors to the Vienkiemis are tempted by a tasty food: Samogitian hostess can make up anything to create a real feast, worthy of the most demanding gourmet. So, in “Vienkiemis” tavern, you can try Samogitian “Smakalas,” “Semenine,” “Good Old Granny’s Kastinys,” you’ll evaluate “Goblin Dream,” “Noblemen Lunch,” or “Farm Master's Treat.” If you don’t like Samogitian treats – we’ll offer goodies of European cuisine.

A stone of impressive size, rolled into the Russian sauna, does not heat up even at the highest temperature; so, to whip with a good bath besom on it is a real pleasure.
