Poland or Russia, and there are deep cultural ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLithuania has many lakes, including Lake Vištytis, as well as extensive wetlands and woodlands.\u003cbr\u003eThe terrain is generally flat and level, with no mountains of significant elevation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps because of this, even in cities, woodlands and nature are close at hand and part of daily life.\u003cbr\u003eIn autumn, people in Lithuania enjoy mushroom hunting and berry gathering.\u003cbr\u003eThey also pick apples and herbs from their gardens, which form part of their everyday diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough baskets made from natural materials are becoming fewer,\u003cbr\u003ein Lithuania baskets have traditionally been used not for shopping or storage,

still breathing, so if placed in plastic bags they spoil.\u003cbr\u003eBut in a breathable basket, the mushrooms can continue to breathe, making it a good match.\u003cbr\u003eFor herbs as well, such as wild linden or lime blossoms gathered from under the trees,\u003cbr\u003ebaskets are better than plastic or vinyl because they prevent moisture from building up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn
