8Th Fort of the Kaunas Fortress

Graži vieta, Kauno apskritis

The eighth fort of the Kaunas fortress (also known as the Linkuva fort), is located in Šilainiai, on the slope of a hill. It is one of the first concrete forts built during the time of Tsarist Russia, which is currently partially flooded, covered with vegetation and has become a place for bats to hibernate. Admission is free, but extreme caution, a flashlight, and non-slip shoes are required when exploring the wet dungeons and rough terrain.
