Jurta Minijos slėnyje

Yurt owns a large plot of 4.5 hectares by the river Minija. There are no other buildings nearby, just wildlife. Access to the yurt is possible on a gravel road, which is rarely used: it is possible to reach only a small rural tourism homestead at the end of the road (1 km), there is no further passage. By the way, from October to April the homestead is closed for the winter season - then practically one of our yurt guests uses the road. What can we offer you? First of all - silence, peace, being in nature. An opportunity to find time for your dearest people, to be together, to talk by the campfire when the moonlight shines. We always try to meet the people who come, we show everything, we tell you how the stove works for cooking, how to light a fireplace, where to go for a walk, what is interesting to see in the surroundings. Our yurt has no electricity and wi-fi, but you will not be completely without amenities. In the evening, the light of candles and kerosene lamps will provide coziness. There is a wireless lamp. There is a fireplace for warming up in any weather (we have firewood). Tea can be brewed with the help of a gas stove, food can be prepared - on a campfire or on the grill (we have tools and a grill). If necessary, you can use the electricity connection outside. The interior furniture of the yurt - two beds, a table, a wardrobe and shelves - is handmade by the Master. The walls are decorated with souvenirs brought from travel. There is a toilet house built according to the author's project outside near the yurt. There is an outdoor shower (only in warm weather). You will find drinking water in the yurt, and we also advise you to bring extra water with you. We can accommodate a maximum of 3 people at a time. Bed linen and towels are included in the yurt rental. We do not have cots for babies / children. We accept pets - please arrange in advance. You can park your car in the outdoor parking lot next to the yurt. We welcome guests all year round.

The yurt has a small kitchenette with a gas hob, where you can make tea or warm up. Outdoors you can cook on the campfire or on the grill (we have firewood, there are tools and a grill). On site you will find plates, pots, utensils, coffee, tea, bottled drinking water. We have no fridge or running water. The nearest Maxima is in Plungė, so bring your groceries and water supplies with you in advance. If you have any questions, we will always be happy to help.

Our place is amazing for fans of nature and active leisure. If you have been driving around Lithuania without turning off the main roads so far, the yurt area will have something to surprise you. We are in the Minija Valley, on the bank of the largest river in Western Samogitia. Minija is fast and volatile, due to its character it is called a mountain river. In summer it dries out sharply, in spring or after rains it rises all the way to the shores. Water tourism is suitable for 120 kilometers of river, the complexity of the route is moderate, there are many beautiful outcrops and places of interest along the way. A few kilometers from the yurt begins one of the most impressive sections of the river, the Great Loop. We do not organize swimming, but there are at least four kayak rental points in Kartena. The Salantai Regional Park begins with a picturesque glacial landscape, nature trails and sightseeing places just outside the yurt area. There are countless boulders, overgrown ditches (so-called horns) and water sources. Instead of our usual forest, tundra-like vegetation grows, and junipers are the largest in Lithuania. It is home to foxes, boars, wolves and rare birds. Even mountain rams (mouflons) specially brought to the park can be found in the heron boulder, although this is rare: mouflons are timid and avoid people, and their location is fenced. Information about the park, trails and excursions can be found on the website salanturp.lt. The Minija Valley and its environs once saw many wars: these lands were often visited by both Swedish and Russian armies and Crusaders. As a result, you'll see many mounds and mansions when traveling by car or bike. The nearest are Kartenai, Dauginčiai, Gintarai, Imbarė and Ganding mounds. It is worth looking for information and legends about them.
