UK to Kaunas Lithuania

[Kmaxx]

I am planning to visit friends in Lithuania ...Taking a small cc bike as funds are tight. Anyone have any advise on my route, avoiding major roads . I have no time restraints , redundancy has it blessings !

Why not around to top of the Baltic. Denmark-Sweden-Finland-St Peterburg- Lith .... simples!

There may be short routes...

We came across loads of gravel roads none of which were busy in the baltics so will be ideal for your wee bike! Have fun!

If you are planning to go to Vilnius let me know, could show you around and have some together.. We live in the city center and have some secure parking as well.

If you are traveling through Poland it's worth it to visit Lublin and Wolfs Lair. Wolf's Lair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
