Birštonas
The history of one of the oldest balneology resorts in Lithuania – Birštonas has been written from the Middle Ages. Prussian chronicler Vygandas Marburgietis in "Naujojoje Prūsijos kronikoje" ("New Chronicle of Prussia") mentioned that marshal Kuhn von Hottenstein during the march to Lithuania divided the army into three parts in order to assault Punia, Alytus and Birštonas. At the beginning of the XIX c. the researcher of history Theodore Narbutas in Königsberg archives found almost 20 references of Birštonas during 1384-1402 reconnoitrers to Lithuania in which the "homestead" beside the salty water is called Birsten, Birstan as well as a well fortified wooden castle on the sheer scar of the Nemunas.
