Modern Marker Stone in Lithuania
The stone erected at the very top of Rambynas Mount, here filed as (modern) marker stone, bears the incised Pillars of Gidiminias, an ubiquitous symbol of the reign of Gidiminias, born 1275, Grand-Duke of Lithuania from 1315 (or 1316) till his death in 1341.
The hill of Rambynas is all important to the Lithuanian nation -- and culture is not confined to ever fluctuating administrative borders.
Quoting Martynas Jankus (1858-1946) :
Rambynas will always be a holy place, as long as there is at least one Lithuanian in the world
should probably suffice to draw the attention on this site, more amply documented on these pages : Rambyno kalnas and Rambynas, among many others.
The site comprises a small ethnographic museum at (55.0867, 22.0329) and proposes several trails along the Nemunas (River Niemen), which marks the border with Kalinigrad Oblast (Russia).
Best accessed by road 4229, over a signposted T-junction at (55.09495, 22.02236).
