GEOGRAPHY
Lithuania is the largest of the three Baltic States. The geographical centre of Europe is said to be near Bernotai, 15 miles north of Vilnius. The landscape is diverse, consisting of gently rolling plains and extensive forests. There are over 2800 lakes and 750 rivers. The highest point is Juozapine Hill (294m) in the south-east of the country. The Baltic coastline and ports (main port Klaipeda) are generally ice-free in winter.
