EXCURSIONS IN KLAIPEDA REGION
The Curonian Spit
The Curonian Spit is recalled with reverence as the pearl of the Baltic, the jewel of the seashore, a wonderful example of natural art. Those who look for beauty, harmony and peace believe that they can find true heaven there. The Curonian Spit (Kuršių Nerija), a unique corner of nature, which amazes everyone by its majestic symphony of sand and dunes, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Curonian Spit is a 98 kilometre long peninsula, stretching across the territories of Lithuania and the Russian Federation. Legend has it that this strip of land dividing the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea was formed by the kind-hearted giantess, who brought sand in her apron and poured it into the Baltic Sea to block the waves and the wind so that the local fishermen could have a secure bay. The Spit itself is very narrow – even in its widest place is only 3,8 kilometres and it is unique not only because of its environment but also because of its architecture. About 100 buildings are distinguished as monuments of folk architecture.
