In the village there==Visa info==Lithuania is part of European Union and most people don's t need a shop (we'll inform them so they can prepare a bit)visa. Next to factory we have a good clean lake for swimming. Factory area itself is a bit industrial - but there If you are patches of grass. And even picnic tables. But from outside EU, it gets perfect around the area: plenty of nature! fields, grass, forests, hills - all for us. There's an old horse stable, or more like ruins of it, just walls; I think inside it we can make very cozy circle around the firedifferent from country to country.
