Loop Trails in Lithuania

72 routes in Lithuania qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 3.1 km and 68 m (223 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 23.1 km.

That is 25 percent of the 284 routes we map in Lithuania. They are shorter than the local average, 3.1 km against 9.8 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 68 m (223 ft) against 217 m (712 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Circular routes: park once, finish where you started, and never walk the same section twice. The mix is broad: 64 are rated easy and 1 are hard or harder, so there is something here whether you have two hours or a full day. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
