Neringa - Curonian Spit -
In addition to sand dunes, German minority villages, and sculptures, nature’s inhabitants also draw us in. Here, we attempt to develop a rapport with an apparently friendly pack of wild boars who busy themselves by digging with their long snouts in the soft, moist soil of the birch forests. It’s not unusual to see miles of upturned soil along the roadside, the result of the boars’ persistent search for food.www.uncorneredmarket.com/
The Curonian Spit is a slender piece of seaside land, virtually surrounded by water and stretching from the Lithuanian city of Klaipeda in the north to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad in the south. We rent bicycles and cycle the length of the spit, 32 miles, to the town of Nida. Along the way, we marvel at the diversity of Neringa’s landscape and culture – taking in sand dunes, old German villages, and the Hill of Witches, a wooden sculpture garden in the village of Juodkrante.© www.uncorneredmarket.com
