Ready to discover one of Lithuania's natural gems? Embark on a guided tour along Čepkeliai Nature Reserve's 1.5 km-long educational path. Available from April 1 to July 1, this specially curated trail takes you to the heart of the untouched Čepkeliai Marsh, one of Lithuania's most protected natural areas. As you walk, you'll encounter ancient continental dunes, a fascinating counterpoint to the lush, swampy terrain. Don't forget to look out for iconic species like the wood grouse and cranes—this reserve is their sanctuary.

Once you’ve had a wander, it's worth checking out the reserve’s observation tower. From its elevated vantage point, you’ll be able to cast your gaze out over a large misty swamp dotted with forested islands. Here, you'll be standing at the edge of one of the largest raised bogs in Lithuania, home to both northern and southern species.
