• About 26 km from Vilnius, easiest by car: take the A14 toward Molėtai and follow the signs
• Shuttle from Vilnius Bus Station: the Vilnius-Radžiuliai bus leaves from stop 32, takes about 30 minutes, and you pay the driver; ask to be let off at the monument
• Two markers to find: the 1997 marker stone and the 2004 granite pillar with its star crown

A white granite pillar topped with a crown of stars marks the spot French geographers fixed as the center of Europe in 1989. Sculptor Gediminas Jokūbonis built the pillar in 2004, beside the marker stone unveiled in 1997.

The area around it has been a protected reserve since 1992, taking in Lake Girija, the Bernotai Mound, a hillside and the neighboring forest.
