BY TRAIN
You can travel to the festival by the most environmentally friendly means of transportation – the train. The train will take you from Vilnius to Turmantas – the terminal station of the North-Eastern Railway! There are 35 km from Turmantas to the Dūburys island.
You can bring a bike to cover the remaining distance, hitchhike, use taxi or a special MJR bus.
BY BIKE
The real challenge is reaching the island of Lake Dūburys by bike! Persistent adventurers can join the MJR bike tour Minam Juodaragin, which offers an environmentally friendly way of travelling to the festival and enjoying the spectacular landscapes of Aukštaitija region.
Even if you have no wish to ride a bike across Lithuania for several days in a row, bring one to the festival if you have the chance! The area around Lake Dūburys is mesmerising and full of curiosities, so a bike might come in handy.
