The boardwalkin the Mūša Moor is an impressive 6.7 km long. This trail is proudly listed in the Lithuanian Book of Records as the longest trail crossing a bog or moor. The trail has been carefully laid out in the ecologically important Mūša Bog Telmatological Reserve and has a number of interesting stops, including the restored chapel of the famous monk Father Stanislaus and the mysterious Tīrelis Stone, on which pagan signs are engraved. The memorial stone marks a former partisan camp. The unspoilt lakes of Miknaiči add to the charm of the scene. So charming, in fact, that it once graced the cover of a National Geographic issue dedicated to Lithuania. Although part of the NATURA 2000 network, the site can be explored independently, without a guide.
The information boards of the educational trail of the Mūša Moorland tell about the nature reserve, its flora and fauna. The route includes interesting historical stops: the restored chapel of the famous monk Father Stanislav, the Tīrelis stone decorated with mysterious pagan drawings, which reminds us of the Semigallians, a memorial stone commemorating the partisan camp that was once located here. You can also see the Tīrelis Bog from the wooden lookout tower at the beginning of the trail.
