Our hiking dream that is finally becoming a reality! We have considered the Labanoras forest many times, so the idea of this hike has been maturing in our minds for many years. We have many epithets for this place: majestic, beautiful, old, dense, rich, with many lakes, fabulous, and insanely mysterious. Did you know that the Labanoras forest combines as many as 105 different forests and about 300 lakes in its territory. The numbers speak for themselves and inspire us to create the hiking routes, which are: 16 km, 25 km and 32 km.
We invite you to put on your hiking boots and explore this seemingly never-ending forest massif. The number one priority is to feel the spirit of the forest and discover the greatest asset of Labanoras – wild forest lakes. See you in the place where you feel at home while being in nature.
