Labanoras Regional Park

Established in 1992, Labanoras Regional Park is the largest regional park in Lithuania, encompassing an expansive area of over 550 square kilometers. Located in the northeastern part of the country, it shares a continuous border with the renowned Aukštaitija National Park. The landscape is predominantly defined by the vast Labanoras Forest, an ancient and dense pine woodland that covers nearly 80 percent of the park's territory. Hidden within these woods are 285 lakes of varying sizes, all interconnected by an intricate network of rivers and streams. This level of wilderness isolation provides a convenient habitat for large mammals such as moose, wolves, and Eurasian lynxes. However, the park is most celebrated as one of Eastern Europe's most crucial breeding grounds for critically endangered bird species, most notably the elusive black stork and the magnificent osprey. Visitors can explore this immense pristine forest through numerous well-maintained hiking trails and water routes.
