Day 31. Pilaitė. Part II. A winter walk in Sudervėlė valley

Series of #WalksinVilnius


We had a beautiful winter this year on Palm Sunday in my dearest Pilaite.

As this winter lasted for 2 days, I couldn't miss the opportunity to have a nice winter walk. 

I start my walk by going towards the Salotes Lake. You can stop near the lake or go further to the so called Pilaite Forest.

I always go to the forest to the hill where a beautiful view on a stream (little river) Sudervėlė  and the Sudervėlė valley discloses. Sudervele, rising in swampy meadows near Zujunai, is a right tributary of the Neris River.

This hill, in my opinion, is a perfect place for kids sledding.

Usually I go down the hill and cross the Sudervele and go towards Karoliniškės.

However, on this Sunday the water in Sudervėlė was quite high so I couldn't cross the stream.

For me - a perfect winter view with a stream

 I walked along the right bank of Sudervėlė till the first living hose on Rojaus str. and I came back. Beside a high level of water I've noticed that Sudervele was quite polluted that day :(

A totally windless place

But the forest was still exremely calm and beautiful.
