Kurtuvėnai: Manor, Route and Riding Experiences
Accommodation in Kurtuvėnai
Kurtuvėnai offers several reasons to visit: the 19.8 km “Kurtuvos” discovery route, an educational trail at the manor and riding activities. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing between these options: they differ in distance, focus and whether they may be tied to specific dates.

Which route suits your travel plans?
“Kurtuvos” is the option with a longer, clearly specified distance. It starts in Kurtuvėnai and can be explored on foot, on horseback or by bicycle. Whichever mode of travel you choose will shape the experience; the stated distance remains 19.8 km. If you plan to include the route in your itinerary, check the current access conditions before setting out.
The educational trail at the manor has a different focus. At 1 km, it is considerably shorter than “Kurtuvos” and leads through the grounds with information boards. The two routes can therefore be compared mainly by distance and subject matter: one is a longer discovery route with several specified ways to travel, while the other is a short walk with information boards. The distance alone should not be taken as a guide to walking time or difficulty.
What can you experience at the manor?
The educational trail combines a walk through the grounds with information boards. If this part of the visit interests you, you can enjoy a stroll around the manor grounds while reading information along the way. An authentic carriage ride is another experience available at the manor. If it is important to your plans, check in advance whether it is offered on the day of your visit.
The route and the educational trail are separate options and should not be treated as one continuous path just because they share a place name. The details on distance, modes of travel and information boards offer a more concrete basis for choosing: they show whether you are looking for a longer tour or a shorter route with explanatory stops.
What is offered at the riding service centre?
The riding service centre of the Kurtuvėnai Regional Park Directorate hosts eventing and endurance riding competitions. It also offers interactive educational programmes. The competitions and educational programmes are two distinct types of activity; the programmes are not specifically described as riding programmes. If you want to include a competition or programme in your travel plans, ask about suitable dates and times.
