Hello everyone and welcome to Lazdijai district, a beautiful lake district in the south of Lithuania, bordering Poland. The area is often referred to as the Suwalki gap or corridor, but in this video I show what the place actually look like and the heritage that lies beneath the name.
Lazdijai is a beautiful natural region, with two amazing nature parks - Meteliai and Veisiejai regional parks, but its heritage offers more, from the ancient Yotvingian history at Aštrioji Kirsna manor, to more recent terrible guerilla fights history in the first years of soviet occupation. And today it is completely different, with people living happily in the area, farming, keeping horses and enjoying equestrian sports.
