The Hill of Witches is a fun outdoors sculpture park located in Juodkrante. A gigantic sign by the main road will lead you into a wondrous world of witches and devils hiding in the woods.

There are around 80 wooden sculptures in the park some of them dating back to 1979. The carvings are based on pagan traditions and the Midsummer Night’s Eve festivities on the hill, still widely celebrated in Lithuania.

Each year on June 24, people across Lithuania dance, sing, and bring in the midsummer with the older folk traditions of the country. After Christianity came to Lithuania, the celebration was renamed Saint Jonas’ Festival, but many of the practices still have pagan roots, as is echoed by the fantastic world of the Hill of Witches sculptures.En savoir plus
