The green hills of Samogitia

Samogitia - Lithuania


It's a typical landscape of Samogitia.
It is considered to be the nicest part of Lithuania,
since it's not that plat as the rest of the country.
Samogitians had not only their own dukes,
history and a specific geographic location,
but also distinct ethnic features and their own language.

The population of modern Lithuania is divided into two groups:
Samogitians, or lowlanders, and Aukstaiciai, or highlanders.

Differences are reflected in the arts and traditions,
although the two ethnic groups are not separate nations seeking autonomy.

Distinctions can be found in behaviour, character and appearance.

Aiste, my lovely hostess and friend is Samogitian!
