The Wet Tour of Vilnelė

This is no ordinary excursion – it’s a hike. Not on footpaths, not by bike, not in a kayak, but wading right through the river! Art, legends, bridges and cool water under your feet
River Hiking LT invites you to a surprising, safe, and wonderfully fun journey along the Vilnelė River.

Cooler than a swimming pool
More conversations than in a café
Just the right amount of movement for summer
Escape the noise, screens, and heat – discover summer from the river on WEDNESDAY!

What can you expect?
– 5 bridges of Vilnius – each with its own story and legends
– Užupis art – seen not from a sidewalk, but from the water
– The mystical Vilnelė Mermaid, the contrasts of “Galera” gallery, the Bernardine Monastery and park
– A city of water within the city – with its own creatures, “buildings,” and quiet rhythm
– And most importantly – a safe and joyful experience, where the river washes away whatever you don’t need

What you need to know:
• You’ll be guided by an experienced river hike leader
• This stretch of the river is not extreme, making it suitable for active families, teams, and groups of friends
• Water levels can be high, so we invite participants aged 10+ who can swim.
•Best outfit: long, flexible trousers or leggings, and a comfortable long-sleeved top.
We recommend checking out second-hand shops like „Humana“ or the „50 cents“ bins — find something you won’t mind getting wet. Turn the hike into a crazy outfit show if you want — no one will judge, we promise!

• Ideal footwear: water shoes with a firm sole, old sneakers or sandals that stay on your feet
Crocs are not suitable – they float away, and you’ll be finishing the hike barefoot (non safe).
• During our hikes, we also help clean the river
• After the hike – we’ll treat you to warm tea and snacks

Duration
The river hike takes about 2 hours, with the full experience lasting up to 2.5 hours

Location
We start near the Paupio Bridge and finish by the Bernardine Garden.
We recommend parking near the end point, where the hike will finish.
If water levels change significantly, the route may be adjusted – we’ll inform participants by email.
