The Kernavė archaeological site has issued specific safety recommendations for visitors following recent severe weather events. Due to the ongoing risk posed by unstable or hanging branches, the site advises that the public refrain from walking through wooded areas and maintain a safe distance from any sections damaged by the recent storm. The site management noted that personnel from the Directorate’s Economic Department, alongside volunteers from the Faculty of History at the University of Vilnius, are actively engaged in clearing debris and mitigating the effects of the storm damage.
They extended gratitude to these groups for their immediate assistance, diligent work, and commitment to preserving Lithuania’s cultural heritage. The warnings follow widespread damage reported across the Varėna district, where the storm caused extensive disruption, affecting both infrastructure and numerous trees. Images of the damage have been reported across the country, indicating that the impact was significant even in areas near Druskininkai.
The site emphasized that responding to such events requires tailored solutions for each specific situation. Authorities are continuing clean-up and assessment efforts to ensure the safety and accessibility of the historical area for the public.
