curonian spit

Wopnderful place, amazing nature. You can easily sped a few days there, walking on the beaches, through the woods, going up to the duna hill. Very particular "dancing wood". For those who loves to be with the nature, there is no a lot of entartainment there... Possibility to eat or buy something at the small village of Ribachy.

Looks like the dutch islands but than with an baltic feel with very beautiful views and beaches. But needs some developments for tourists.

Long long way but very very nice view from the viewpoints! Don't be lazy ) u ll have a lot of nice pictures there) But be careful and don't step out from the wooden road,dangerous.

The Curonian Spit gave us a chance to walk through the desert, bicycle through the forest and swim at the beach...all on one day! Liking to eat fish might be a prerequisite, but life on the Curonian Spit must be pretty good! Lithuanians appreciate the importance of a good cup of coffee more than other places: our morning was rescued by a Lavazza barrista with her Smartcar kitted out with an espresso machine, and in the afternoon we enjoyed a perfect espresso served up from a bicycle-mounted Lavazza machine! Life is good!

Beautiful natural attractions. We traveled over from Klaipeda to Kaliningrad We slept on the Russian side of the coast, for free .. The road is good, the border crossing is easy. The Lithuanian side, very clean, and the maritime museum at the end of the road is very beautiful. From there you can go on the ferry to Lithuania.

That's a unique national resort totally worth some of your time. The nature is beautiful, there're places to see and the restaurants at this place are quite famous for their cuisine.

You will need transport to reach the Curonian Spit but it well worth the effort, there plenty of hiking trails and it is possible to swim in the Baltic Sea, an invigorating experience, it is not recommended to swim in the Curonian lagoon due to pollution. There is wildlife to be seen, we saw a wild boar and her young, probably attracted by the tidbits offered by passing motorists. There is a charge for entering the area, and it does get popular with locals at the weekends. There are plenty of snack bars and restaurants some of them are on the beach.

This is the place, that everyone has to see! very nice atmosphere and picturesque scenery! here you can find a lot of interesting places, but for me it was a view on both the see and the bay!

gorgeous place, full of calmness, nature and beautiful views. great places for hiking. and do not forget to visit Nida - really nice place with a chilled atmosphere

I visited here as a part of a tour. Beautiful coast line with sandy beach and lots of wild flowers all around. Beautiful drive to the park

This place dazzles you. The billowing dunes that go on into the distance are amazing to watch. It is worth coming here twice (like I decided to do) to really appreciate the full area. There are lots of different paths to take along the whole Curonian Spit. And moreover there are very few tourists here.To get there from Kaliningrad there is a public bus. I think it was number 592 that leaves from the Southern bus station (right next to the railway station). You go into the station and buy a ticket at the ticket counter which costs 139 rubles one way. There are four departures a day. I took the one at 9.35. The bus stop (number 8) is just in front of the ticket counter and there are lots of shops nearby to buy lunch. It takes two hours to get to the furthest point the Curonian spit: Morskoe. This is about 45km. The bus though stops 5-6 times along the way and also stops in Cranz. I took the bus at 15.40 back. You can then buy a ticket in the bus on the return. There is a small friendly hotel in Morskoe where you can have a coffee whilst waiting for the bus back. 100 rublei for a coffee.

The best beaches in region, variety of nature, dunes, some nice restaurants and hotels. Advise to go there only by car

The Curonian spit separates the Baltic Sea from the Curonian lagoon. Hence on one coast you can be mercilessly blown by the wind, while on the other you can enjoy some warm sunbathing. The Nature is enchanting with trees on the dunes, high sand dunes, a sudden border of Europe splitting the spit in two, between Lithuania and a relic of Cold War, the Russian occupied Koenigsberg district. Nice sailing, tasty food, friendly people, Thomas Mann's house, good wine at Nida's Invino, you have a perfect blend between comfort of "civilized" world and a powerful Nature. It is mindblowing to think that in winter everything is covered by a thick layer of ice, and that in June it all comes to life with birds, flowers, trees....

Reading the review of those unimpressed I have to say the road along the spit itself reminds you of any other normal wood, however it's what behind those trees that's so interesting. What's important is to take a guide with you who would tell you everything about the spit, from the way it was formed through its forestation and show you the most interesting spots.I loved the stay at Curonian Spit, the walks were amazing, with wonderful humid air smelling of pines and breathtaking views of the sand dunes against the backdrop of a forest. Very unusual. And the Dancing Forest topped it all, with its eerie atmosphere that makes you feel quite apprehensive. You have to see and feel it for yourself, it's quite an experience. Please, go eith a guide, you'll enjoy it much more!

The Curonian Spit in the the Kaliningrad Oblast is a great place to visit. To get there from Kaliningrad city you go to the central bus station (next to the South railroad station) and take bus # 593. There are 4 buses going there eveyday, and the price is 120-140 rubles (September 2013), to one of the last two stops in the spit. It takes 2 hours to get there, but you travel in the countryside, which is beautiful.Once there, I managed to get lost in the forest, and then I finally found my way through the dunes. It is not allowed to step foot on the dunes, by for me it was to only way to get right on track to Morskoye and then take the bus back to Kaliningrad. The largest bit was nearly a 3km walk on the dunes, and some of them were higher than 30m.There are other attractions in the Curonian Spit, which you can get acquainted with at the friendly information office next to the Drama Theatre in Kaliningrad.
