Explore the Curonian Spit, a 100 kilometres long and less than four kilometres wide sand bar which shelters more than half of the Lithuanian coast.

emelland was a German territory until the end of the First World War. The name stemmed from the capital city, Memel, today called Klaipeda. More than half of the coast is sheltered by a sand bar about 100 kilometres long and less than four kilometres wide, known as the Curonian Spit. Today, the spit is a national park. The water between the sandbar and the mainland is called the Curonian Lagoon.
