The Pokaini Forest is a picturesque location and an ancient holy site famous for the wondrous legends told about it. Take a walk along the path and find out more about this energetic place.
Inside the forest, stones form groups, piles, walls and rivers: the Pokaini Stone Agglomerates. These were the main reason why the Pokaini Forest is connected with unusual beliefs and superstitions.
