ATTRACTIONS

Cold War Museum is the only one in Europe that is established in one of the first ex-Soviet Union underground ballistic missile shafts. It is located in Plokštinės forest, near Plateliai town and lake. The historical exposition of the museum tells of the five decades of the Cold War, one of the most famous and most dangerous military conflicts in history. Previously, this place was secret.  Today it can be accessed with an accompanying guide.
