Ticket price 5€ -1 person. Distance from Druskininkai ~5/8km can't remember best go with car but also fine with a bike. There is lot of interesting sculptures to see it also you will find there music and light installation with it. Visit took me ~30min if you would read all stuff around maybe it would take 60min. But it was fun for me and my wife :)

Beautiful lake with great surroundings - one of the main town's attractions. There are always plenty of people on the shores, but it's rarely noisy, the atmosphere is usually very realxing. Druskonis lake is what the twn of Druskininaki is all about

Our tour included a day trip south from Vilnius to this extraordinary park, about 5 kms from the border with Belorus. Very remote. Apparently, after independence in September 1991 communities across the country removed all the statues from the Soviet era of occupation and a Lithuanian entrepreneur came up with the suggestion to create a park to display these (on marshy land he owned and had no other use for). The result is a sobering and moving record of the Soviet occupation, tempered by a sense of surreal humour that came up with this creative concept. Opened in 2001 there are watch towers, a surrounding moat and loudspeakers with Russian announcements to convey the oppression of Soviet occupation. As well as statues large and small of Lenin, 3 of Stalin and other luminaries of the Soviet system, there is a wealth of historic documented records from the period, beautifully and ironically presented, including a "reading room" which was a common feature of all communities to "educate" with appropriate propaganda. Interesting election results show how information was manipulated to record 99 % voter turnout and unanimity ! Lithuanians are rightly proud of their independence and this important reminder of their suffering is also symbolic of the freedoms they recovered. The fact it is near the borders with Belorus, Poland and Kaliningrad highlights a continuing tension and sensitivity around national security, illustrated by the so-called Suwalki Corridor of neighbouring Poland. There is an excellent café/restaurant for refreshment.
