To get to the observation tower, you must drive east of Molėtai in the direction of Ignalina to Mindūnai. In the village, there will be a turn to the right, leading to the beginning of Labanoras Regional Park. After passing several rows of birch trees, the road continues among the abundance of pine trees in the park. After going along the narrow forest roads, you will reach the second highest observation tower in Lithuania (36 m). The architecture of the tower resembles a slender tree stem reaching upwards. Above, there’s only the birds and the sky.
Try your best to reach the top of the tower as if you were climbing to the roof of a nine-story house. In order to see the impressive panorama of nature, you will have to climb 214 steps. Overcome your fear of heights with the spiral staircase. Rise above the treetops. See the breathtaking landscape that opens up, as if from a bird's eye view.
Looking at the distant surroundings - north of the Labanoras Regional Park - in the northeast, fresh green pines stretch, and in the western part lies one of the largest lakes of ancient glacial origin in eastern Lithuania - Baltieji Lakajai. You can see its islands and peninsulas. This is the most picturesque Lakajai landscape reserve in Aukštaitija, which stretches along the valleys of Baltieji and Juodieji Lakajai lakes surrounded by wooded hills. They are characterized by unique peninsulas, islands, rare species of plants and animals.
At the approach to the tower, there are stairs on the slope of Lake Baltieji Lakajai, a small road, a pontoon footbridge, a set of tables and benches, trash cans, gazebos, a bicycle rack, an outdoor toilet, and lighting.
Labanoras Regional Park, the largest in Lithuania, covers the divide of Šventoji and Žeimena rivers, forests occupy about four fifths of the entire park area. Together, they form a single mass of forests, which in Lithuanian is called Labanoro giria. It is one of the largest forests in Lithuania, and at the same time the most valuable asset of the park.
