1. Lietuva:<\/strong>\u00a0In het Litouws heet Litouwen 'Lietuva'.<\/p>\n

2. Pasen:<\/strong>\u00a0In Litouwen is het niet de Paashaas die eieren brengt met Pasen, maar \"Paas Oma\".<\/p>\n

3. Nationale sport:<\/strong>\u00a0De nationale sport in Litouwen is basketbal en het Litouwse nationale team is een van de beste ter wereld. Verschillende Litouwse basketballers hebben in de Amerikaanse NBA competitie gespeeld.<\/p>\n

4. Christendom:<\/strong>\u00a0In 1387 was Litouwen het laatste land in Europa dat door groothertog Jogaila tot het christendom werd bekeerd. Dit gebeurde nadat de kruisvaarders en de Livoniaanse Orde meer dan 100 jaar hadden geprobeerd om de heidense bevolking te bekeren.<\/p>\n

5. Heidense tradities:<\/strong>\u00a0Hoewel Litouwen al honderden jaren een christelijk land is, zijn er nog steeds verschillende heidense tradities die voortleven. Sommige maken zelfs deel uit van christelijke rituelen en evenementen.<\/p>\n

Feit: De stad en het kasteel van Trakai behoren tot de populairste toeristische bestemmingen in Litouwen vanwege de schilderachtige omgeving en de nabijheid van de hoofdstad Vilnius.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Voormalige grote macht:<\/strong>\u00a0In de 14e eeuw was Litouwen een van de grootste landen van Europa en omvatte het het huidige Wit-Rusland en Oekra\u00efne, evenals delen van Polen en Rusland.<\/p>\n

7. De Baltische keten:<\/strong>\u00a0Op 23 augustus 1989 maakte Litouwen deel uit van de Baltische Ketting; een demonstratie tegen de toenmalige bezetting van Estland, Litouwen en Letland door de Sovjet-Unie. Tijdens de demonstratie sloegen ongeveer 2 miljoen mensen de handen ineen en vormden een 600 km lange ketting die zich door alle drie de landen uitstrekte.<\/p>\n

8. Nationaal parfum:<\/strong>\u00a0Litouwen is het enige land ter wereld met een nationaal parfum; De Geur van Litouwen. Het parfum kan op het lichaam worden gebruikt, maar is eigenlijk bedoeld voor in huis. Er wordt gezegd dat de geur de hele geschiedenis van de natie bevat.<\/p>\n

9. Natuur:<\/strong>\u00a0Ongeveer 1\/3 van Litouwen is bedekt met bos. Het landschap wordt over het algemeen gekenmerkt door laaggelegen wetlands met veel kleine meren.<\/p>\n

10. Nationale vogel:<\/strong>\u00a0De nationale vogel van Litouwen is de ooievaar, met een relatief hoog aantal ooievaars buiten de stedelijke gebieden.<\/p>\n
