Neringa: Juodkrantė
Juodkrantė is best known in Lithuania for the Hill of Witches, a woodland trail of wooden sculptures inspired by Lithuanian folklore. The settlement stands on the Curonian Spit, the long sandy peninsula between the Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon, within the Curonian Spit National Park. Its Baltic-facing side is defined by a broad beach and coastal dunes, while the sheltered lagoon side has long shaped local life and transport. Juodkrantė developed as a resort in the 19th century and remains one of the principal settlements of Neringa, the municipality covering the Lithuanian part of the spit. The sculpture trail, begun in 1979, gives local legends a distinctive place in this narrow coastal landscape.

Neringa has served as a fishing community on Lithuania's Curonian Spit since the Middle Ages. Set between the Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon, this narrow municipality includes Nida, Juodkrantė, Preila and Pervalka, surrounded by pine forest and mobile dunes. The Curonian Spit was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, recognised as a cultural landscape shaped by wind, water and generations of work to stabilise the sands. In Nida, Thomas Mann's former summer house recalls the writer's stays here from 1930 to 1932.

Built around the Baltic port of Klaipėda, Klaipėda County developed into Lithuania’s principal coastal region. Its shoreline spans the open Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon, separated by the long, dune-shaped Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape shared with Russia. Klaipėda, historically known as Memel, retains an old town marked by German and Prussian influences, while the Nemunas Delta brings wetlands and broad waterways to the county’s southern edge. Maritime trade, fishing traditions and resort life give this part of Lithuania a distinct coastal identity.

Lithuania combines Baltic calm with a strongly preserved national identity in a way that reflects its position within the northeastern European Baltic region. The Nemunas, the country’s largest river, crosses broad lowlands before reaching the Curonian Lagoon, while the Curonian Spit forms a long belt of dunes and pine forest along the Baltic Sea. Vilnius is known for its extensive Old Town, recognised by UNESCO, and its streets bring together Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical architecture. Trakai Island Castle, set amid lakes west of the capital, recalls the era of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Browse additional webcams from the Baltic region to extend your view of Lithuania.
