Kursiu Nerija (Curonian Spit)

Curonian Spit (Curonian Spit) is a summer vacation resort in Lithuania and a world heritage shared with Russia. A spit refers to a long and narrow land extending into the sea. The Curonian Spit is precisely a long and narrow peninsula extending into the Baltic Sea. The waves of the Baltic Sea continuously surge onto the shore, while on the other side it is surrounded by the Curonian Lagoon. Strong winds and excessive deforestation have made this sand dune an unstable Curonian Spit. Due to the continuous struggle of generations of people against the erosion of the spit through continuous afforestation and sand fixation projects, the site still exists today. In 2000, the Curonian Spit Site National Park was listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO.

The Curonian Spit is located along the Baltic Sea. It is a sandbar that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea and is 98 kilometers long. The 52 kilometers in the north belong to Lithuania, and the south belongs to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. On the island, you can not only enjoy the fun of the beach and seaside, but also completely preserve many historical, archaeological, architectural and other relics, as well as the simple and traditional way of life.
