Druskininkai resort

i visit Druskininkai (direct translation: City of Salt)

for over 12 years now, almost once a month,

so i see the town getting more and more of make-up,

tourists from the nearby countries

and a bunch of new hotels and restaurants, popping up like mushrooms.

​

people here started speaking more and more in Russian

and Druskininkai itself heads towards entertainment for others

rather than locals.

but!

​

despite all the buzz, i love Druskininkai

for its nature and beautiful,

beautiful parks and forest paths.

​

wide river Nemunas and SPAs,

lakes and... mushrooms.

it also has skiing arena for the winter

and fully arranged bike lanes for the summer.
