Panemunė: The scenic road that saved Europe's banned language -- "For nearly 40 years, daring smugglers transported nearly 40,000 #Lithuanian-#language books into the nation each year when it was forbidden under Russian rule. Following the gentle bends of the Nemunas, Lithuania's largest river, the Panemunė road stretches for more than 100km and marks the former border between #Lithuania and East Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia). Considered the most romantic road in Lithuania by locals, it travels past a series of 17th-Century castles, Renaissance-era mansions and postcard-worthy towns. Yet, the route is perhaps best known as the site of a remarkable movement that took place in the late 19th Century and helped save Lithuanian, which is commonly considered the world's oldest surviving Indo-European language."
