Things to Do  

Birds in Nida

Birds in Nida, Neringa

 aterola Says:  The most popular place to fish in Kuronian lagoon is the port gate.... There are not only fishermen who enjoys it :-) Near Juodkrante there is a big territory occupied by cormorans. They are famous trees killers. I have a feeling this territory can be well used for horror... 

The beach

The beach, Neringa

 sigthor_egle Says:  Differently than in developed summer resorts, don't expect to see strawy umbrellas, cots and umbrellas prepared for you in the Curonian Beach. There are also no high buildings close to the beach of Neringa. Anyhow, the beach is free for everyone (if you don't count entrance... 

The scene for horor movie

The scene for horor movie, Neringa

 sigthor_egle Says:  When you drive from Juodkrante town to Nida town, take a little stop to see "nature monument" - Cormorants camp. These crazy, humongous birds eat fish from the Baltic sea, they are pretty good divers, then they come back home to nests in trees and empty their bowels.... 

Hill of Witches

Hill of Witches, Neringa

 polinia Says:  Very cool place.....But don't go there when sun is shining.....Try to choose time when light is not so bright and you'll be able to feel the thrill of that place at full..... 

Beaches

Beaches, Neringa

 Carletto76 Says:  All the Baltic side of the Curonian spit is a long sandy beach, but remember that you cannot go anywhere, there are reserves also on this side of the spit. Anyway there's really a lot of space for everyone who wants to swim in the cold Baltic sea, or just stay at the sun to...

Parnidis Dune

Parnidis Dune, Neringa

 Carletto76 Says:  The Parnidis Dune is maybe less impressive than the ones up in the north, but it's particular since there is much less vegetation, it really looks like the Sahara desert in some points... except the fact that you are on the Baltic sea! ;-)At the foot of Parnidis Dune on the... 

Nida

Nida, Neringa

 Carletto76 Says:  Nida is the southernmost village on the Lithuanian side of the Curonian Spit, just 2/3Km from the Russian (Kaliningrad region) border.It's the biggest village on the spit, very picturesque, and with many restaurants and accomodation offers.All the wooden houses are in...

Use a car... (or at least a bike!)

Use a car... (or at least a bike!), Neringa

 Carletto76 Says:  To go around the Curonian Spit from Smiltyne to Nida it's really suggested to use a car. There are buses which go from north to south and back, but with the car you can stop wherever you like and enjoy the view. Most of the road (50Km) is in the middle of a forest, so you... 

Going from Klaipeda

Going from Klaipeda, Neringa

 Carletto76 Says:  There are 2 ferry harbours in Klaipėda, and you can go to Neringa from both of them, but not always!The old terminal (Senoji perkėla, or Pirmoji perkėla) works only in summer, and the ferry is for pedestrians only. It's close to the river Danė.The new...
