The Gray Dunes, or the Dead Dunes

These sandy hills with a bit of green specks at the Lithuanian side of the Curonian Spit reach 60 m in height, which equals to a 20-storey building. Some hundred years ago, they expanded to several local villages, invading them, which granted them such a “dead” fame. Today, it is a quiet spot for a nice walk that will make you feel like in a desert. The dunes are the only place in Lithuania where you can see the sun rising and setting in the sea.

The ferry to the island leaves from Klaipeda.
