THIS IS LITHUANIA?! The Curonian Spit 

Nida - PARADISE IN EARTH, in other mainland and still Lithuania , fresh air!!!

Since the times of Tsarist Russia and Kaiser Germany, this area has been a place of resorts, solitude and fishermen. The famous German novelist Thomas Manas lived here. Kaliningrad was home to the famous German philosopher Emmanuel Kant, and many famous people descended from this small area. The salty sea air and the smell of pine help with respiratory diseases, so many came here for treatment, and the stormy sea bamboo and the calm rustling and snorting of pines, as well as the wind-borne sand, helped many people to discover inner peace. This is truly a special place. The Lithuanian / Russian border is a forest of dancing trees (the reason is not clear) but the trunks of the trees are intertwined there and look like dancing. The legend has also survived: “Once upon a time, the locals did not want to let newcomers into the spit and diligently guarded the coast. But once a girl arrived by boat who had nothing with her but a harp. The locals let in a girl who was of indescribable beauty and played the harp perfectly. While she was playing, the sounds of the harp made even the trees dance, and when the girl finished playing, the pines remained standing in the dance movement. It is said that when there is a strong wind, the harp melody is heard in the branches of dancing pines. "

Yeah no - leave it bridgeless. Neringa needs to stay with a relatively small number of people in order to be perserved. Build a bridge and its beauty will be gone within a decade.

Some (rich) people in the past when they got tuberculosis would relocate to curonian spit. The pine forests and air in general was said to help with the disease.

Of all the people covering Lithuania miss Bronner is with out a doubt the best. It may be my love of food that draws me to her videos because she seems to love food too.

Educational! Informative! Very very Interesting! Thank you. Watching from Los Angeles, CA Steve Miller.

If i remember it right, there was discussion about bridge to Curonian spit. Ecology won - impact to the nature would be too big... Maybe that´s not that bad at the end.

I know that everybody is head over the hills about Nida, and it is beautiful... But I myself like Palanga also, though a lot of people despise it cause of mass of people there. Palanga is very rich in history and if you don't go to the main pedestrian street (Basanavičiaus) with all the bling blings you would be amazed with the rest of this town - architecture here is incredible and you can feel the old majesty of this place. I visited it after years of avoiding this summer and we had the best time there! They even have this fun orientation game that you can buy and play by yourself - it would show you a lot of Palanga gems :)

Wow! So wonderful place on Earth - Next MAY 2024 I will surely explore this place. Have already booked flight to Vilnius. It will be great to experience Curonian Spit of Lithuania. THANK YOU FOR INFORMATIVE VIDEO 🙂 Best Wishes from STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN 🤩

If you gonna stay in Lithuania this summer, I advise you to take a boat from Kaunas all the way to Nida. It's really worthy experience. Or from Klaipėda to Nida on the boat as well. Both experiences will give beautiful views :)

Beautiful in its desolation. Thanks for the journey from the comfort of my couch, Laura.

Thank you so much for this video. I’m Lithuanian and I can really appreciate your video ♥️

Can't wait to go back myself! Best place to be at during the summer. We travel a lot to different parts of the world but it's sacred for us to spend the summer in Lithuania, mostly at the seaside because we haven't found a better place yet. Weather temperatures are perfect, nature is as good as it gets and it's clean and fairly priced.

Hill of Witches deffinately has a specific feeling to it

..having a beach entirely for yourself...incredible! Thank you for great video.

I look forward to your videos every day, especially from this trip! They have that very welcoming and warm feeling and I love going by the sea. Can't wait to see the upcoming videos!

Oh Smiltyne! When I was a kid (almost 20 years ago now) my family staid there 2 summers at the end of a road by Delfinariumas (there were sea lions, dolphins and other sea creatures). I loved it there, but strangely almost nothing changed (by the ferry and the first direction you went). Still gorgeous, still peaceful. I envy you, because I am stuck in rainy Vilnius.

Very informative, thank you

First of all - I am addicted to your videos. Secondly, I am super happy that you’ve got to explore the Curonian Spit. I would also recommend the museum of seas (Jūrų muziejus) with doplhinarium in Smiltynė! Hope you visit different parts of Curonian Spit, too. For example, “the dead dunes” are just breathtaking.

What a wonderful place. It love this place best in the early fall.

Wow what a beautiful area! Thankyou for taking us along!

Cảm ơn ban đã chia sẻ cảnh thiên nhiên rất đẹp

Hill of Witches was amazing. Thankyou so much for sharing. Great work you two. GRACIAS!

i'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you! Another beautiful trip in autumn Panemunes kelias. It's a road from Jurbarkas to Kaunas alongside river Nemunas. You'll come by a couple of castles and autumn colours are beautiful , especially in the evening.

Thers was (or maybe still is) interesting work oportunity at curonian spit, to work as a sheperd. They eaven targeted foreigners to come and live at the spit. Sounded very lovely and unusualy for the time of age. Maybe it was some kind of a project im not sure, but surely a lovely initiative.

Brilliant video

Nat Geo Destinations of a Lifetime: 225 of the World's Most Amazing Places books recommend the Spit. That's how I've found your video. Thank you and this book might guide every travellers well :)

Thank you very much, have a wonderful time , the tour is great!

Lots of history in that beautiful, serene stretch of land. The Spit used to be a pre-dominantly German area, being apart of the former German province of East Prussia. Famous writers like Thomas Mann used to have summer retreats there. After WW2, with the German population expelled , the town names were changed and the area is now split between Russia and Lithuania

You could go inside the biggest ship - it's an exposition of soviet fishing ship. Museum is a sight in itself, it also directed towards wildlife preservation, big emphasis on saving dolphins, seals, etc. Also you found my favourite beach, if you go there right from the museum you'd find it always empty, even during summer. Just couple hundred meters towards the north and it's a totally different experience - metal scrap and stuff. On summer you can ride on a carriage towards the museum from the ferry.

Keep enjoying Lithuania

You described this part of curonian spit perfectly! You noticed all the things that I love about it. Hope you enjoyed it and will be back to this part of Lithuania!

Great Filming, love your details and it makes me want to fly over. I admire your desires of freedom. Got a few more videos to explore also of yours.

Ah, so you've been there:)) Didn't knew how it was called in english:)

Very nice.Feverously waiting reportings from our gem Nida.

Im from Lithunia :D Thanks for going to my home land

I hope you had a chance to visit the Parnidis dune and the Vencekrugas dune. The best places in Lithuania in my view. Anyway, great videos, can't wait to see more. Good luck!

My favorit vacation is to rent a small apartment for a week near that Hill of Witches in very end of summer. I pick up mushrooms on my way from see. Beaches are almost empty and it is always warm enough in some side of a dune unless it is raining.

Love it

When in Neringa again, go to Preila Beach Bar. ^^

Nida is were i want to retire😊😍

you should also visit Karklė - Olando kepurė

Hello again Compadres LAURA🦁I'm sorry but I'm Addicted to the BAJA MEXICO? La Ventana, Loreto, and,MULEGE. Always So Nice to See your Beautiful Smile? Brightens my Day for REAL🦁Thanks AKA CHARLIEB outta Dobbs Ferry N.Y. 🎆🎈🎀🎖

THIS IS LITHUANIA?! Simien national park

If you can, visit the little towns along the spit to Nida. I know that you took a bus so they may not stop there. The best thing to do is rent a car.

❤️

Why you didn't visited sea museum of dolphinarium? They were in the nord of split, and they are amazing :)

As far as I remember, there were talks about building a bridge, but then the Curonian Spit would lose the Unesco World Heritage title

It's Kaliningrad not Kalingrad. But good to see your video promoting Klaipeda and its Curonian Spit which is a world heritage site.

is this doable as just daytrip?

Like👍👍👍

There is much better place in Lithuania and this is another side of lagoon than Neringa. Especially Nemunas Delta is heaven on earth. ❤️

Oh dear the pronunciations! Try " Klaep + Eda " and " K + Li + neen + GraD "

I want to unwitch my American girlfriend.

Bridge would be good idea. Spending metric tones of diesel each day for those ferries make no sense. The ecology tax also makes no sense, we pay for the entry with a car, yet they still fear that the bridge would ruin the ecology of the place... Meaning that there is no sense of the tax either... If they really were concerned, they would not allow anyone to drive in except locals. But now it is all business, taxes and costs of infrastructure.... They use ecology card to get benefits for the already small muncipality, this way they get the tax money, but they do not need to spend it on the infrastructure. The bridge would be devided cost for both Klaipėda and Smiltynė muncipalities, so Smiltynė refusing the idea, because its very handy to get a money for muncipality + tax from everyone who drive in to the Smiltynė. If ecology was the main concern it would be done differently.

wow chemtrails are bad but otherwise beautiful place!

its not lithuania its samogitia steeled by lithuania.
