Utena region, Vyžuonos, Vyžuonos churchyard.
The little town of Vyžuonos straddles the Vyžuona River, between lakes Lydekis and Iženas. The written history of the town begins in 1406, when the church was built. All travelers are interested in the stone head of the grass snake, Vyžas, in the wall of the Vyžuonos church. It is said that the stone Vyžas was transported from nearby Kartuviu hill, where there was an altar in pagan times. The Alter was said to have had an everlasting fire.
It is thought that a great patriot of Lithuania, General Mikalojus Radvila, is entombed in the Vyžuonos church.
The church has been rebuilt several times so now we can only guess about its original style. Currently it is a modest stucco building with lots of arches and windows.
The present gothic style church was built from brick in 1882 and 1883.
This micro cache is hidden in the churchyard:plastic photo film container-inside a pencil, logbook,small toy(dog).
Good luck to find it...
