Luninets: Long-Distance Route

Route at a glance

Most of the route stays under tree cover, with clearings and old tracks regularly opening the view. The setting is shaped by a combination of mixed woodland, old forest tracks and small clearings. The main line of the experience is formed by Luninets, Mikashevichi and KK Luninetskaia. They are spaced through the journey so that the area reveals itself gradually.
