[QUOTE="lovingkindness, post: 587594, member: 7570"] Tere – Labrīt – Labą dieną – Hello ! [B]The Baltic republics : Tallinn via Vilnius to Krasnapole (21 July – 9 Oct, 2017 ) [/B] …one fine day in the heat of summer, 2017 I set off to explore Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania… A few days before arriving in Tallinn I was invited by members of Eesti Jaakobitee polverändurid to join in their celebrations of Jaakob (21-28 July, 2017). For a week or so we hiked together along dusty roads, from church to church, by swamps and feilds and forests until one day we arrived in Pärnu-Jaagupi… After Pärnu-Jaagupi I walked alone without gps, phone or camera relying on chance meetings, information gleaned from locals and maps discovered along the way. I did not carry a tent or sleeping gear. I had a notion to swim in the Baltic Sea and walk the Latvian coastline as far as Riga ; to visit Kryzių Kalnas (Hill of Crosses) in Lithuania then walk on via a few Šv Jokūba churches and synagogues to Vilnius. In Latvia someone suggested I visit Tervete Regional Park, a place of national significance close to the Latvian/Lithuania frontier. So, I crossed into Lithaunia at Žagarės. Kryzių Kalnas (Hill of Crosses) was not far from there… From Žagarės I plotted my trail using a book of road maps aquired in Riga, a sketch indicating Šv Jokūba churches in Lithuania, and a picture of pilgrimage trails linking Siaulia and Kaunus, Vilnius and Alytus. I walked from village to village, reasoning that if a church was indicated on a map I might find basic services near by. The journey was intense. It was rich in kindness and loving care. Thanks to all who sheltered and guided me along the way. I have posted a [URL='https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/the-baltic-republics-tallinn-via-vilnius-to-krasnapole-july-oct-2017.623/'][B]resource, here[/B][/URL][B],[/B] which includes maps + route finding ; a comment on the trail ; stages walked with Google Map links ; accommodation, shelter and assistance.
