On your way from Kupiškis to Utena, stop by and try the educational trail "To the forest" in Šimonys forest. In order to reach it, you need to turn to Šimonys township and after passing it, you need to drive forest roads about 4.5 km. There are special signs in order not to get lost in the forest. The trail is only about 1.4 km long, so it is perfect for parents with small children or students. You will find not only gazebos, a fireplace, benches, information stands, but also educational games for children in the educational trail. Moose, deer, wild boars, foxes, hares, wolves and other animals live in Šimonys forest. And some of the species, living in this forest are protected, like black stork or lesser spotted eagle.
