Krunai is located in a significant place in the Republic of Lithuania – 7 km away from of oldest capital city of the Land – Kernavė.
Kernavė was a medieval capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and today is a tourist attraction and an archeological site (population 272, 2011).
The area of Kernavė was sparingly inhabited at the end of the Paleolithic era, with the number of settlements significantly increasing in the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras.
The town was first mentioned in 1279, when, as the capital of the Grand Duke Traidenis, it was besieged by the Teutonic Knights. www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernav%C4%97
In Krunai ecovillage we plan to have 3 activities in 3 seperate groups:

Putting the 1st, 2nd and 3rd layers of the clay on the inside walls of the building known as Home for Souls (www.souls.lt) – building assigned for people willing to come to escape from the city and discover some fresh true quality time with their own Soul in the spaces of countryside nature… – teacher Sarunas Kondratas
