Anyksciai Treetop Walking Path

At Anyksciai a raised wooden walkway carries you up into the crowns of a protected old pine forest, the first treetop trail in the Baltic states. It climbs gently to a tall spiral tower that lifts you clear above the canopy for a view over forest, the Sventoji river and the countryside.

What you'll find

• The canopy walkway - a raised trail among the tops of century-old pines.
• The spiral tower - a tall lookout rising above the treetops.
• The old forest - protected pinewood along the Sventoji river.
• Interpretation - stops explaining the forest life around you.

When to go

Any snow-free season; autumn adds colour and the low sun suits the canopy view. It is accessible and easy, good for families and less mobile visitors on the gentle ramps.

What to expect

It is a short, ticketed nature attraction rather than a wilderness hike, done in an hour or so. It can be busy on summer weekends. The reward is the unusual eye-level-with-the-canopy perspective and the tower view.

Nearby
