TalePointer

The goal of TalePointer is to encourage Lithuanian residents and foreign travelers to discover the rich culture of our country, and especially its folklore, to encourage them to travel the paths of legends, myths and tales without rushing, experiencing every story.

The idea came by accident when we started reading Lithuanian tales. We were thinking, can we find a specific geographical location that is represented in all these stories, legends and tales? Search for links to specific locations has begun. We observed that by linking a story to a specific place, stories come to life, acquires physical form, it becomes not just ink on white paper. By linking stories, tales, or legends to place, we can cultivate our imagination, imagine how our ancestors constructed their perceptions of the world, what was important to them, and at the same time discover that the same fundamental things — values, fears, hopes — are still important and relevant nowadays.
