The Curonian Spit is a shifting coastal landform shaped over millennia and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site; Klaipėda’s castle area dates to Teutonic Knights mentions from 1252 and the region has long been linked to amber trade.
The spit’s dunes are fragile and stabilized by pine forests; follow marked trails, respect protected bird colonies and do not collect amber from protected zones to minimize impact.
