This is about 4 km long loop through the forest on foot. It starts in Palūšė. At Aukštaitija National Park Visitor Centre, turn right and head East towards Ignalina. At the end of the village, you will see the beach and parking-lot on the left side of the road. Cross the parking lot and go towards the forest. After crossing the bridge you will arrive at the first information board marking the start of the Botanical Trail. This Botanical Trail is marked by special signs attached to the trees - white square with a green diagonal stripe. There are 7 infomation boards along this Botanical Trail. The first one describes green pine forest, the second one - the community of the shady wetlands, the third one introduces swamp plants, the fourth one presents the natural lakeside meadow, the fifth one introduces lake vegetation, the sixht one tells about forest fungi, and the seventh one presents lichens. Although the route is circular, and it can be started from either side, it is recommended first to climb up the hill and return back along the coast of Lūšiai lake.
