Today we had a flour dishes day. In the morning we started with the presentations
about flour dishes and sweet pastries in Lithuania. Our German friends were
more interested in desserts. After each presentation we had a short discussion
about similarities between Lithuanian and German cuisine. German people also
cook dumplings (only with different fillings), pancakes and all types of
desserts. Later we had a practical work in which we cooked three kinds of
dumplings. Most of us liked mashed potato and China style dumplings. After
lunch we went to see how a “tree cake” (or baumkuchen) is made.
After familiarising with Lithuanian flour dishes and having
tasted our own made dumplings we went to STAKLIŠKĖS. There we had an
educational activity about how the tree-cake ( šakotis) is baked, decorated and
prepared for sale. As we know the Llithuanian
tree-cake is a variant of the German baumkuchen. We bought a few for ourself and for gifts. Next we headed for one of the most famous
Lithuanian geological monuments – the Devil's den, in Trakai district. There we
admired a special natural monument of the Lithuanian forest and the stunning
views. Later, we went to one of the most famous Lithuanian resort towns -
Birštonas. We walked around this
exclusive town admiring the beautiful surroundings. We visited the mineral
water source and informed the Germans about its healing properties. We also saw
one of the most famous Lithuanian writers, the author of the first Lithuanian
book Mažvydas‘ sculpture, climbed the Birštonas mound (Vytautas Hill) and
admired the Nemunas and the nature around us. Then we headed for Birštonas‘ main square and after some walking we finished
our seventh day and with wonderful memories went back home.
