The nature trail in the Stompaku purvi Nature Reserve brings nature and history together. Information boards and restored bunkers are among the trail’s features for visitors. If you want to combine both themes on an outing, you’ll find them here not as separate points of interest, but together along a single nature trail.

The same nature reserve is home to a memorial to the Stompaku national partisan camp. The camp is described as the largest partisan settlement in the Baltics. Alongside its nature and trail-related attractions, the memorial gives the area a historical dimension.
