Bicycling Lake Plateliai through Zemaitija National Park, Lithuania is a leisurely 24-kilometer loop.

Following a trip from Klaipeda, Matt rents two wheels for a late afternoon of what could be the best bicycling in Lithuania. In addition to the natural surroundings, some of the highlights include a glimpse of the village of Plateliai; a Cold War Museum in Zemaitija that was the site of missile silos and wild apple picking.

Oh right, there is also an American classic car spotting: a Pontiac Firebird. Listen to the engine AND the owner purr over the car’s vintage status. Git yer Smokey and the Bandit hat and ‘stache on!

Questions Answered:
– where is Zemaitija National Park?
– what activities are there at Lake Plateliai?
– how stealth were Soviet missile bases?
