Raigardas Valley
Raigardo slėnis
A valley on the Nemunas said to hide a sunken ancient city, the subject of a triptych by Čiurlionis.
Raigardas Valley lies a few kilometres south of Druskininkai, where open river meadows alternate with forest. Folklore says a city once sank underground because of its sins. Čiurlionis created a triptych of the same name in 1907. The valley has viewing platforms and trails and can be reached by bicycle from downtown. It is free to visit, and the scenery is simple, suiting those who enjoy nature and cultural allusions.
