Time stands still in the village of Ginuciai, an hour-and-a-half drive from Lithuania’s capital city. Home to medieval castles, untouched forests, and old-world tradition, this 16th-century village sits on a lakeshore in Aukstaitija National Park. According to the last census, only 69 people live here. Ginuciai once enjoyed fame for its 19th-century technical engineering feat that produced the village’s electricity: a wooden water mill with a water wheel, millstone, and sack uplift mechanism. The mill is still operational today and now also houses a museum and hotel. In the past, the mill was known as a place for mischief of devils, says Kestas Lukoskinas, a Lithuanian tour guide for Intrepid Travel. “Legends say some nights the devils would tear bags with flour and ride away on farmer’s horses,” he says. Displays and artwork by local artists depict this and other folklore of the region.
