Curonian Spit National Park
Curonian Spit National Park is located in Klaipeda county, Lithuania, and is a unique nature reserve that spans across Lithuania and the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia. The Curonian Spit is a long, narrow sand dune peninsula that stretches approx. 98 km, separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea, and is one of the longest spits in the world. This national park is famous for its spectacular natural views and rich biodiversity. The sand dunes on the spit were formed thousands of years ago by the combined action of wind and seawater, with higher dunes reaching up to 60 m. The park's ecosystem includes sand dunes, forests, wetlands, and grasslands, which are home to numerous plant and animal species, some of which are endangered and endemic. The Curonian Spit is also an important stopover for migratory birds, attracting a large number of birdwatchers every year. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities at Curonian Spit National Park, including hiking, cycling, birdwatching, and beach activities. The park features multiple trails and cycling paths, making it easy for visitors to explore the natural views and wildlife.Juodkrante · 19 km from Klaipeda
