Where and what in Nida and Neringa
(created: October 2021)
Upon arrival you should find the fastest way to the sea (7 mins) or Parnidis dune (7 mins) Parnidis dune.
Important: You can walk to the border along the beach. Be careful and switch off “automatic network selection” on your phone as you can drift in to the Russian network = for EU phones expensive roaming. Crossing the border and being caught by Lithuanian border patrol costs 40€ and around 3h at the border station. Crossing the strict reserve territory that is located in front of the border area (accessible from the dunes and forest) costs 90€ and should not be done to keep peace to the animals living there.

Visit Neringa and Curonian Spit National Park websites for further information on the region.
On mainland, very interesting point to visit is Aukštumala Highmoor of the Nemunas Delta Regional Park. Drained during the times of Prussia in 19th century, the swamp is undergoing the complicated process of denaturalization.
