The hundreds of years old Alytus Mound is the witness of the town foundation. There are a lot of legends about the mound itself. One of the legends is about love and the origin of the name of the town. Once upon a time Mirgrausele and Alyta lived there. They fell in love with each other. When Mirgrausele found out about the death of Alyta, she cried her eyes out so that her tears turned into a runlet and started to run into the river Nemunas. Old people say that even today the runlet of Mirgrausele tears flows into the Nemunas and those who take a sip of the runlet water fall in love or start loving even stronger.
The town of Alytus was named after Alyta. A promising panorama of the town, the river Nemunas will make you fall in love like it’s the first time.
