The railroad from à  iauliai forks into Kaunas and Vilnius near the village. Gaià ¾ià «nai is also known as a military base.
The old military training ground in VarÃÂna could not be used by the Lithuanian Army as it was too close to the demarcation line with Poland and stirred Polish protests. Therefore in 1930 the army bought some of land, mostly pine forest, bog, and sandy soil unsuitable for agriculture. The new training grounds included an airfield, railway connection, and numerous buildings for the soldiers. In 1939, according to the SovietâÂÂLithuanian Mutual Assistance Treaty, about 5,000 Russian soldiers were stationed in the military base. After World War II, the Soviets expanded the base and built a military townlet in Rukla. When Lithuania regained its independence, the base was adopted by the Lithuanian Armed Forces. The facility is known as Gaià ¾ià «nai Training Area ().
