Coastal Viewpoints & Dunes
The Curonian Spit, a 98-kilometer UNESCO World Heritage site, features some of Europe's highest drifting sand dunes. This selection spans from the Russian "Dancing Forest" with its contorted pines to the Lithuanian Nagliai Nature Reserve's "Dead Dunes," which buried several villages in the 18th century. Key locations include the Parnidis Dune's sundial, the historic Nida and Pervalka lighthouses, and the Hill of Witches, which hosts a collection of wooden folk-art sculptures. These sites offer specific vantage points over the Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon.
