Tips from the community

Less than one mile wide but more than 60 miles long, the Curonian Spit National Park protects a scythe of dunes and forests and beaches that run along the edge of the Baltic Sea between Lithuania and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Hard to get to but certainly worth the effort, particularly in the summer. It’s known for its huge sand hills and breezy beaches. The access point is the resort of Klaipeda, where you’ll also be able to drop in on a fantastic fortress built by the Teutonic Knights back in the 1200s AD!
