Labanoras Regional Park is the biggest regional park in Lithuania and its surroundings are exceptional by the variety of landscapes as well as especially rich flora and fauna. Therefore, the nature lovers are gathering to this place for a long time now and their numbers have grown after building an impressive tower to look around the surroundings, which is otherwise called Mindūnai Observation Tower.

You can reach the tower, exceptional by its impressive form, through a forest road with a car, where you will face the challenge of 214 steps. However, this is not a problem, as the serpentine stairs are wide, while the handrails are comfortable, so you will reach the top step by step.

In the observation lot, you will feel as if you are standing on a roof of a twelve-storey house.
