Itinerary
Start
Meeting and starting at the Litwild office, we'll head off towards Karačiunka lake.
Hiking
A local guide will lead you on a 14 kilometer hike through dense forests, along beautiful lakes and close to spongy swamps. Expect to hear about local flora and fauna and possibly spot some wildlife.
Time for a break
There will also be a stop for a delicious snack! Your guide will show you how to prepare a traditional spanish dessert "churros" over a campfire, encouraging you to learn and take part in cooking. You will be relaxing sitting around the campfire, eating churros, sharing your impressions with a bunch of lovely people and having a photo session!
Finish
The tour will end at the same spot as you started - Litwild office. Alternatively, you could plan for some extra time to spend in Visaginas, for example, take an excursion to Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant.
