The Region in Detail
Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Kurische Nehrung.
North vs. South: Which part suits you?
The north of the Curonian Spit is more touristy and lively, while the south is quieter and more natural. Nida in the south is known for its high dunes, while Juodkrantė in the north attracts visitors with charming wooden houses. Consider what is more important to you: hustle and bustle or relaxation.
Local Mobility: Leave the car behind?
The Curonian Spit is narrow and long. You can get around well by car, but parking spaces are limited. A good alternative is bicycles, which you can rent locally. This way you are flexible and can experience the landscape intensely. Please note that an environmental fee applies for access to the spit.
Insider Tip: The Dead Valley
Off the beaten track lies the 'Dead Valley' (Mirusios kopos) near Juodkrantė. Here you will find bizarre dune landscapes and unique flora and fauna. An unforgettable place for nature lovers and photographers.
