About the LVM Pokaiņi Forest
The LVM Pokaiņi Forest is an unusual tourist attraction due to the miraculous stories associated to it. It is a scenically interesting and picturesque place with steep hills, deep valleys and forest stands of different composition and ages. However, the most unusual phenomenon in this forest are the piles of stones of different sizes.
The LVM Pokaiņi Forest is located 13 km from Dobele in the direction of Īle. Here, in larger and smaller groups, piles, stone rivers and heaps, the famous Pokaiņi stone layers can be found. Such a high concentration of stones of all sizes and shapes in one place creates a truly unusual impression. Many people feel peculiar energies flowing through them. Some of them see visions, while others perceive the flow of information. Even if personal conviction and the lack of scientific substantiation prevent the person from believing in supernatural miracles, the calmness of the surrounding area and the opportunity to enjoy an interesting walk in the fresh air will delight any sceptical mind.
15 km trails have been created in the forest, piles of stones have been carefully cleaned and names have been given to individual stones. The main thing is not to forget to put on comfortable shoes, because the trails lead through a hilly area, which is especially popular with orienteering fans. The surface of the LVM Pokaiņi Forest trails is uneven, so it is difficult to push a pram along most of the trails, unless you stick to the perimeter of the “Ring road”.
