Travel blogger Diana Gedeikytė-Jakutienė, author of Check In Lithuania, spends a lot of time exploring the country and has walked many of its nature trails. She has selected her ten favourites in a press release.
1. Ščiūris Horn nature trail (Molėtai district)
Ščiūris Horn is a unique place – a peninsula almost three kilometres long, bordered to the north by Lake Baltieji Lakajai and to the south by Lake Juodieji Lakajai. The eight-kilometre trail runs through the beautiful forests of Labanoras, with the rising and falling shores of the lakes opening up stunning views. Along the way, there are plenty of rest stops, benches, and both informational and interactive displays.
2. Punia Forest nature trail (Alytus district)
Most of Punia Forest is a protected reserve, closed to visitors, but its southern edge forms a narrow strip of landscape reserve where the trail winds through. The route offers a special nine-kilometre walk in woodland that was once part of a primeval forest.
The trail allows walkers to experience untouched woodland. There are no artificial surfaces, only the occasional set of steps or crossings over springs and streams. Hikers can enjoy rapids, wild nature, and views of the fast-flowing River Nemunas, with several points of interest along the way.
