카우나스 저수지 최고의 라이딩 경로

1941년, 리투아니아 카우나스에 있는 게토가 봉쇄되었습니다. 가족과 함께 게토로 이주해야 했던 샬롬 아일라티(*1933)는 이렇게 회상합니다: »1941년 8월 15일, 박해가 시작된 지 불과 8주 만에 게토의 문이 닫혔습니다. 이제 모든 사람이 그 안에 갇혔습니다. 몇 주 동안 사람들은 머물 곳을 찾아 이리저리 돌아다녔습니다. 기적적으로 살아남은 새로운 가족들이 가끔 들어오기도 했습니다. 30,000명이 넘는 원래 게토 주민 중 3년 후에는 몇 천 명만이 살아남게 될 것이었습니다.« SS는 1943년 8월에 게토를 카우엔 강제 수용소로 전환했으며, 처음에는 17,000명의 유대인이 있었습니다. 1944년 7월부터 다가오는 붉은 군대 앞에서 카우엔 강제 수용소가 비워졌고, 남아 있던 대부분의 거주자들은 다른 수용소로 추방되었습니다. 1944년 8월 1일 붉은 군대가 카우나스에 도착했을 때, 그들은 90명의 생존한 유대인을 발견했습니다.

Great place to run by and close to the pedestrian street Laisvės Alėja. There is an athletic running rink nearby as well, but in winter it can be snowy and icy here.

Nice uphill ride

St. Michael the Archangel's Church or the Garrison Church is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Kaunas, Lithuania, closing the perspective of the Laisvės alėja, the main pedestrian street. It was built between 1891 and 1895 when Kaunas was part of the Russian Empire, in Neo-Byzantine style largely for the use of the Russian Orthodox garrison of Kaunas Fortress. The construction of "military" or "garrison" Orthodox churches by the Russian government in former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth lands had started after the suppression of the November Uprising of 1830-31, and peaked during the reign of emperor Alexander III of Russia. Initially the site of this church had been intended to be used for a Catholic church, but these plans had been abandoned after the Uprising. The church was designed as an Orthodox cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in 1890 by K. H. Lymarenko; it was authorized for construction on November 10 that year.

Extremely nice place, but take some booze with you, because it is quite expensive here.

A wonderful bridge, you just need to hold the brakes.

This sacred building was built between 1891 and 1895 as an Orthodox military cathedral. The reinforced concrete dome is the largest dome in Lithuania with a diameter of 16.3 meters. It reaches its maximum height of 50 meters. Above the altar there are paintings of two archangels or evangelists. The altar itself is made of glass and depicts God at the gates of heaven in a stained glass window. The interior was decorated with 122 Greek icons until 1985. There are a total of 12 bells in the four side domes. The church is designed to accommodate around 2,000 visitors. In total there are 266 large and small columns and pilasters in the church.

It is the oldest church in Kaunas (Archdiocese of Kaunas, Lithuania) and the only Gothic church in the country in the shape of a cross. Unfortunately, it was closed during our visit.
