Neman loops hike is waiting you like never before and invites you to explore the never seen wild banks of the Neman. For the fifth time, we have made our routes at the loops of the Neman river.
Our new slogan – hiking is taking us higher! After surviving the quarantine, we hit the hiking trail to remember that good uplifting emotion when we complete our goal. We have also prepared an exclusive start and finish place – Pociūnai airport. During the good weather conditions, you will be delighted by the take-offs and landings of the planes and you will even have the opportunity to fly them yourself and see the loops of the Neman river from a bird’s eye view. That’s why we assign two elements to this hike this year – water and air.
