According to the legend, Grand
Duke Gediminas (ca. 1275 – 1341) was hunting in the sacred forest where Vilnia River flows into the Neris River. After the hunt, the Grand Duke fell asleep and dreamed of a huge Iron Wolf standing on top a hill and howling as strong and loud as a hundred wolves. In the morning the Grand Duke asked his pagan priest to interpret the dream.
"What is destined for the ruler and the State of Lithuania, is thus: the Iron Wolf represents a castle and a city which will be established by you on this site. This city will be the capital of the Lithuanian lands and the dwelling of their rulers, and the glory of their deeds shall echo throughout the world." – the priest told him.
Gediminas obeying the will of gods, established the city named Vilnius – from the stream of the Vilnia river.
