The Cold War, a long time ago, and in my opinion, it shouldn't be forgotten. Commissioned in 1962, its nuclear missiles were aimed at Great Britain, West Germany, and even Spain. The tour is worth seeing and provides considerable food for thought about what's happening around us right now. Hopefully, it serves as a memorial to history.

A beautiful wooden church with many paintings.

This is the only exposition in Europe of its kind, installed in one of the first former underground ballistic missile launch complex of the Soviet Union. The museum's historical exposition tells about the five-decade-long Cold War - one of the most famous and dangerous military conflicts in history. Built in the 1960s in secret from the Lithuanian people, the base had enough firepower to flatten most of Europe, and may have played a role in the Cuban missile crisis. There’s a small exhibition on the history of the Cold War in the Baltic countries, and on the construction and role of the base, as well as some Soviet detritus in the gift shop. The base was regarded as one of the top Soviet military secrets, only to be revealed by U.S. reconnaissance in 1978. The Plokštinė nuclear missile launch site started operating around three years after it was established. The base boasted of a network of tunnels and included four deep shafts that have a depth between 27 and 34 meters.

This beech is an object of natural heritage. It is unclear (to me), if it has also reached the status of monument of nature.

This Roman Catholic church is part of the nationally significant sacral heritage. It is a wooden church of squared timber built in 1744 after a fire destroyed much of the town. Next to it, a wooden bell tower has been standing since 1899. Many old paintings, liturgical garments and accessories have survived and are stored here.

The museum impressively conveys how close our planet came to a nuclear catastrophe during the Cold War. Just looking at the antediluvian control technology makes it hard to believe that such a dangerous technology could have been controlled with it.

In 1960, the Soviets built their westernmost nuclear missile launch base here. The Americans only discovered the facility in 1978 because it is almost completely underground. The complex is now open to the public as a museum (€10 per person). Successful efforts have been made to make it look as if it were still in operation. In particular, the background noises (the hum of machines, snippets of conversation in Russian) and the lifelike dolls in uniform and gas masks that suddenly appeared were pretty scary! You could look inside one of the missile silos, very deep! The tour ran close to the edge of the silo along a narrow rusty metal walkway. The view inside was secured with a net, but it was still dizzying, even for people without a fear of heights!

Playful bears, perched on the six bridges of the well-maintained shore of Lake Mastis, seconding to the works of art in the old town, aim to name the connection between the city and the water. Embarrassed - on the bridge of Nameless Stream; Lying and dreaming - on the bridge of Durbinis stream; After getting tired (having earned a rest) - on the bridge of the Telšė stream; Playing - on the Telšė stream bridge (at the children's playground); Uphill - on the island bridge; Hiding - on the bridge of the island. https://visit.telsiai.lt/lankytinos-vietos/skulpturos-meskutes/
