Stop At: Kryziu Kalnas, Jurgaiciai 81439 Lithuania

Lithuania's fabled Hill of Crosses is a symbol of defiance as much as a pilgrimage site. More than 200,000 crosses have been planted on this low hill, many of them strung with rosary beads that rattle softly in the breeze. The tradition began during the 1831 Uprising and reached its height in the 1960s, in defiance of anti-religious Soviet rule. At night locals crept here to lay crosses, infuriating their oppressors.
