Have you ever marched to the rhythm of a march? On September 26, we invite you to a special march on European Heritage Day, dedicated to honoring Bronių Jonušas, a composer, conductor, and the king of Lithuanian marches who hails from our region.
PARTICIPATION IS FREE, BUT PRIOR REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. REGISTRATION FORM
GENERAL START OF THE TRIP
? 10:00 a.m. – Vadagiai, Renavo St. 51, near the homestead of Bronius Jonušas' parents.
All participants of the march, regardless of the chosen route, will meet in Vadagiai. Here we will be met by the Mažeikiai Vytautas Klovas Music School Wind Orchestra "Griaustinis" with conductor Kęstutis Dvaržeckis, who will accompany us on the road in the rhythm of a march - as befits a tribute to the king of Lithuanian marches.
The organizers' bus will take you to the general start of the hike:
? 9:00 a.m. – departure from Skuodas;
? 9:30 a.m. – stop in Ylakiai;
? 10:00 a.m. – arrival in Vadagius and the general start of the hike.
ONE START – TWO CALL ROUTES
After a general musical start, hikers will choose one of two routes named after instruments.
"TREMBITA" – 21 KM
The trembita is one of the longest wind instruments, which is why we named the long hiking route after it.
At around 10:30 a.m., the most resilient hikers will set off on foot from Vadagiai towards Pašilė and Ylakiai. The hike is expected to end at 4:30 p.m. at the Ylakiai Cultural Center, where lunch will be served.
"TUBA" – 8 KM
A shorter, but no less exciting route is suitable for families and anyone who wants an easier hike.
After the orchestral accompaniment, at around 10:30 a.m., the participants of this route will be taken by bus to Pašilė and from there they will begin the hike to Ylakiai. The expected end of the hike is at 2:00 p.m. at the Ylakiai Cultural Center, where lunch will be waiting for the participants.
ROUTES THAT WILL SURVIVE
This hike will not end on September 26. Later, both routes will be available to be completed independently - using an online map, scanning QR codes at stops, and hearing the stories hidden within them.
In the registration form, select your route and indicate whether you will use the organizers' transportation to the start of the hike and whether you will need it after the event.
Which rhythm will you be hiking at – the long "Trembita" or the shorter "Tūba"? You can find the route HERE
