Couldn't find any info about it. Looks nice anyway :) Big rest spot around.

The three-stemmed Napoleon pine is one of the most impressive in Kurtuvėnai Regional Park. Height – 22 m, trunk circumference – 3.3 m, diameter – over a meter. It is believed that this tree could be about 300 years old. It is said that Napoleon's treasure is hidden under the pine. At dusk, the wind rises in that place and a brown dog barks. Therefore, people built a chapel in the pine.

This stone used to lie in a swampy part of the Kurtuvėnai forest near Rimas Hill. It was saved from destruction by a resident of the village of Mekiai. The man kept it in his homestead for several decades. In 2008, at the initiative of the Kurtuvėnai community, the stone with the “Footprint of God” was brought back and placed near its former location, at the foot of Ribiškės hill. People used to say that God descended from heaven and left his footprints on the stone. Others believed that angels flew and stamped their footprints on the stone. Footprint stones are called footprint stones because of their elongated depressions 10–40 cm long, 4–15 cm wide, and 2–7 cm deep (rarely larger). Some resemble a barefoot or shod human foot, while others resemble the footprints of animals and domestic animals. https://www.siauliurajonas.lt/lankytinos-vietos/akmuo-su-dievo-peda/

Šiauliai St. Cathedral of the Apostles Peter and Paul is the most significant work of Renaissance Mannerism architecture in Lithuania. Its white graceful 70 m high tower can be seen from afar when approaching Šiauliai from any direction. The cathedral rises above the city not only because of its height, but also because it stands on a hill on the edge of the lake valley. Built about 400 years ago, the building is magnificent and has original architectural details. It seems to have been rebuilt for defensive purposes - the bay windows of the main facade and the turrets of the churchyard gate with loopholes give the impression of a fortress. The church gate in front of the main facade emphasizes the defensive nature of the church and is the only one of its kind in Lithuania.

Main or secondary road to Riga? The fact is that the A12 is relatively busy and does not have a continuous cycle lane. Alternatively, you can use the side roads that first lead towards the Hill of Crosses. Some of the side roads are covered with gravel and have many transverse gullies depending on the route.
