In the eastern part of Kaunas, this is a nice run in a waterfront park in the area the Kaunas Lagoon and the Pažaislis Monastery. There are 4-5 km of paved and gravel paths — combination of waterside, fields, and pine forest. We’ve mapped a route of nearly 7 km can be used as a guideline to create your own route. There are some lovely views. A highlight is the 17-th century baroque Pažaislis Monastery and Church.
You can also see the Chernobyl Movie Bridge, which was used for the filing of the award-winning Chernobyl TV series.

A terrific 10k 'runseeing' tour of Kaunas, hitting the major highlights: historic centre including the longest street in Europe; Confluence Park; Castle, Nemunas Island. It's scenic and nearly all on pedestrianized streets/paths.
A scenic run through several parks in central Kaunas, highlighted by the famous Kaukas Stairs, and Oak-Wood Park (Ąžuolyno parkas), which boasts the largest urban stand of mature oaks in Europe.
The best river running option accessible from central Kaunas. A paved multi-use path runs along the right bank of the Nemunas River for up to 7 km, from the Great Bridge to the Bridge of Panemunė. Lovely river views nearly the whole way.
A nice running option in southeastern Kaunas combining a path along the Nemunas River with paths in Panemunė Pinewood Park, a large pine-forested park. Can be combined with our Right Bank Nemunas River route.
A pleasant run on the 7-8 km of paths around the Open-Air Museum of Lithuania, located on the eastern shores of Kaunas Lagoon. It's a popular walking area, with open, park-like terrain.
