Curonian Lagoon Essentials

The Curonian Lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is defined by the 98-kilometer sand spit separating freshwater from the Baltic Sea. This selection features the 'Dancing Forest' with its contorted pines and the massive migrating dunes of Efa and Nagliai. It covers Klaipėda’s maritime heritage at the 19th-century Kopgalis fortress, the historic Meridianas vessel, and the medieval foundations of Memelburg Castle. These sites highlight the region's unique geological formations and the intersection of German and Lithuanian cultural history.
