The is hardly accessible for people with movement disorders, though. The complex consists of the following: a display of the history of partisan fighting at the bottom of the hill; a 25-metres-tall obelisk in the shape of a Lithuanian sword; a wall of remembrance with 20 000 surnames of the dead partisans, inscribed in steel in the shape of the cross of Vytis; a square (capacity up to 1000 people) with the so called-grave of the unknown partisan; and a chapel.
