Curonian Spit National Park (Lithuania)

Sand dunes and the Curonian Lagoon on Lithuania's Baltic spit

Large wind-built sand hills, including the Dead (Mirusios) or Gray (Pilkosios) dunes of the Nagliai nature reserve, define this park on the Curonian Spit. Four villages and two old cemetery sites lie hidden under the sand.
