Vilnius thermal power plant no. 2 invites you to learn and understand how heat, hot water and electricity are produced. This is one of the most interesting operating industrial facilities in the Baltic States.
A huge territory covering more than 20 hectares is like a town with its own streets, history and secrets. At its center is a red brick building nicknamed the Monster by the workers. From here, heat travels to the homes of the people of Vilnius through about 750 km long pipes like blood vessels. How does it appear? What devices rumble inside the Monstro? Why are bullets found in biofuel?
Together with a guide, you will travel through the streets of the power plant, walk through the corridors of Monstro, visit the basement made famous by the HBO series "Chernobyl" and hear secrets that have been kept for many years.
The staff say you never know what Monster will surprise you with, so be prepared for the unexpected. This excursion is part of the www.700vilnius.lt program.
