Kalesninkų akmuo
Kalesninkų akmuo submitted by Alta-Falisa : Where you can see where the trace left by the coat of Arms. June 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A random boulder obviously set upright to be used as a landmark along an ancient way which, with time, widened and asphalted, became upgraded to the present road 127.

Being at the border between two regions (Varėna district, Alytus county to the West ; Šalčininkai district, Vilnius county to the East) -- or the border having been fixed to take advantage of that traditional landmark --, it used to bear a coat of arms which has recently gone.
Visible from far away, on the Southern side of the road.
Ample car park for the needs of visitors.

Visited June 2015.
