The Belmontas–Pūčkoriai loop follows the Vilnia river through sandstone cliffs and pine forest. It is the hike locals do on Sunday mornings without owning a car.
Trail Practicalities
- Bus 34 or rideshare to Belmontas — trailhead near the old mill restaurant.
- Allow 2–3 hours for the full loop; muddy after rain.
- Wear proper shoes — rocky sections near the cliff edge.
- Combine with lunch at Belmontas mill for a full day out.
