So basically you just crossed the bay and that's it. Missed opportunity to see Dead Dunes, Nida, Golden Dunes. It costs 20 euros to enter to that part of Curonian Spit, but the views are definitely worth it!
@@JackandGabExplore Well, maybe 50 km with a bike (100 in total) would be too much. It is best to rent a car if you want to stop at most beautiful places ;)
@@zhannad750 Yes, that is true, but with a bike it's too far and the bus doesn't stop at every touristic place, only at the main villages as far as I know.
Saw your video on Vilnius and ended up this one. Happy to see the Spit again and memories flash. I visited Nida on 2019/8/30-31, quite memorable days with beautiful beach and a cute town. I took the bus from Kaliningrad, RU to Nida and Nida to Klaipeda.
I really enjoyed your Lithuanian travels! I went there last year to Vilnius, Klaipeda and Palanga, as well as Trakai. I also went to Meat Lovers and had a really good hamburgers and a "milkshake". If you ever go back to the Spit definitely check out Witches Hill. It has great wooden carvings of old Lithuanian folklore. I loved it. As well as Trakai castle! Thanks for the great videos.
Wow it sounds like you got to visit some really awesome places! We heard the Trakai Castle was awesome but didn't end up having enough time to visit. We're glad you enjoyed the videos :)
Next time definetely take a bus to beautifuls towns there on curonian spit up until Nida! Needs to plan overnight to feel the coziness on warm season! Cheers!, ✌️☺️
You are such a cute couple. And Curonian spit is gorgeous. However, there is so much more to it than you saw, might need to come back at some point in your lives. Love.
I've been there! Been on that ferry, walked that same beach, and that Spa you walked into is part of the culture of the spit! During the soviet occupation it was a real Health/Spa type of destination for those who could go. The beaches are covered with tiny bits of amber, also! We took the bus down to Nida, the last Lithuanian town before you get to the Russian border. Very much a health-spa town! The forests you walked through are filled with wild mushrooms and truffles, we saw "truffle-hunters" there, people collecting truffles to sell to the markets. My husband is of Lithuanian descent, his grandparents migrated to Toronto when they were young.
That bar on the beach was sauna. And sauna is open only on friday, saturday and sunday 😊 it's very fun after sauna run to cold sea 😄 You must see Nida and Karkle - Olandu kepure (there is a big scarp. On the top you can see Baltic sea from high. It's very beautiful, and so romantic in sundown time. And all beach have a lot of stones). 😍😍😍 P.S. I am from Klaipeda and I know here everything 😅 our city is very small and is very cute cause you find us ❤ Very beautiful video. Thank you ❤
Hi, you are great! Welcome to our Baltic community ))!!!... a few words about this particular place: This is a unique national park and a lot of things which are so common to any seaside resorts are prohibited there , for instances - permanent snack bars, places to rent some bathing equipment are very limited on Lithuanian side and are prohibited on the Russian side of the national park simply because of the Dune destruction. The Dune is like a living creature "breathing" and moving all the time. The phenomena of sand which is constantly "wondering around" and too much pressure can ruin this beauty. From the Russian side of the National park it is strongly prohibited to walk along the beach and the shuttle busses with tourists are limited in time and areas which are open for a walk. There is also a fantastic place - "Dancing forest" where the pine trees are curling their trunks in strange and unnatural way , and scientists are still searching for proper explanation "why" Anyway, good luck to your project and enjoy the northern beauty of our land)))))
You missed the best places:( Preila, Pervalka and Nida is places where you can see very nice old architecture and very big dunes. Nature is amazing around all that long beach. You saw only small part:(
I was here in February, but on the Russian part of the Curonian Spit, truly amazing place. And yes I needed a Russian visa for that, I spent 5 days in the cities Kaliningrad and Zelenogradsk, and also spent a day trip at the sand dunes at the Curonian Spit. After that I took a bus from Kaliningrad to Klaipeda where I spent 2 days before taking the ferry home to Sweden, from Klaipeda. Really liked that city too, but Kaliningrad had more to see and do.
@@JackandGabExplore Not that hard, I got mine from the Russian Consulate in Gothenburg, Sweden. But yes it will certainly have to be planned ahead. Also the Lithuanian side of the spit is amazing, in the area right before the Russian border, around the village of Nida. I was on that side back in 2013, the only part of the Lithuanian side that match up with the Russian side. There are plenty of Russian embassies and consulates in Europe where you can apply for visa, normally it takes a few days to get it. Did you know you can go to the Republic of Belarus without a visa nowadays? If you fly in and out of Minsk, you can stay up to a month without visa. Not Russia though.
I would love to see the Russian side, but after invasion of Ukraine with all their atrocities and kidnappings of tens of thousands of children, I just can’t do anything Russian.
You should try to visit Palanga or Šventoji sometime! They are amazing. Every summer I go to Sventoji. And You could visit the monkey bridge, the broken bridge. Oh and maybe next time you could visit a place where the Puntuko akmou is. Hope you enjoy your time here in Lithuania!
If you are planning on coming back to Klaipėda in the summer, you should visit 'Sky 21 terrace'. There is a roofless restaurant on the 21st floor. The food is kind of expensive there, but it is worth it
Great video! I am going to the Lithuanian side in January and am hoping to cross over into the Kallingrad half! Anyone here know if the bike rental place will be open around then? Otherwise anyone fancy lending/renting me their bike for a day or so? (I have a Serbian passport so going into Russia shouldn’t be an issue…I believe)
The waters located between continental Lithuania and the Curonian Spit which you called "Bay", "River", or "Sea" are actually a lagoon called Curonian Lagoon. Also the Curonian Spit is not an island, it is a type of penisula, called spit or sandspit.
You missed out on the best parts of the Curonian spit but otherwise nice video. It's probably the most unique place in entire country well known to the locals but visited by few foreigners as it is pretty far from the capital.
did you guys ever get a fine for anything while travelling in Europe? I assume there's no way to make you pay if you live outside of the EU, let alone the US
So basically you just crossed the bay and that's it. Missed opportunity to see Dead Dunes, Nida, Golden Dunes. It costs 20 euros to enter to that part of Curonian Spit, but the views are definitely worth it!
20 euros on season, usually, after the season ( like right now) it would cost only 5 euros. :)
Good to know! We will have to come back and hopefully the bike rental place will be open :)
@@JackandGabExplore Well, maybe 50 km with a bike (100 in total) would be too much. It is best to rent a car if you want to stop at most beautiful places ;)
Isn't 20 Euros ecology fee for cars only? If you take a bus or a bike, should not cost you anything.
@@zhannad750 Yes, that is true, but with a bike it's too far and the bus doesn't stop at every touristic place, only at the main villages as far as I know.
Wow What a great place to visit thanks for bringing it our way!
Of course!! Glad you enjoyed :)

I know we were so bummed that the bike place was closed :( We'll have to come back during summer time!

It's very nice video enjoy your travel and @ Gab will you visit north macedoina next year Keep up with the great video:)
What a place I really what to go curonian spit national park.
You should have went down to the Sea museum and dolphinarium, it was real close to where you guys have visited
Ahhh bummer that we missed it
I don't think so, it's not so intresting, maybe more for kids. Cause there is not so many fishes. I think you saw more :)
Do you know that you can find amber at the beach of Baltic sea?
You missed the best places:( Preila, Pervalka and Nida is places where you can see very nice old architecture and very big dunes. Nature is amazing around all that long beach. You saw only small part:(
They can always come back in the future
Summer is the most beautiful in Lithuania anyways. We have really fresh air

Yeah we've heard the Russian side is amazing but it's pretty hard to get a Russian VISA so we'll have to plan ahead to do that

@@eddievonpapen6306 Dude, I posted this 5 years ago!
We went down a trail and to restaurant. Good job!
Enjoy your travel Curonian Spit National Park :)
It might be chilly for you guys, but to us locals, it's actually really warm right now) Usually it's much, much colder here during this time of a year
Did you guys go winter or summer?
Next time you are time in Klaipėda and the Curonian spit, you must visit Juodkrantė and The hill of Witches, and also Nida with Parnidžio sand dune
You should try to visit Palanga or Šventoji sometime! They are amazing. Every summer I go to Sventoji. And You could visit the monkey bridge, the broken bridge. Oh and maybe next time you could visit a place where the Puntuko akmou is. Hope you enjoy your time here in Lithuania!
Akmuo*
puntuko akmuo tik antras pagal dydi lietuvoj.tai jei vaziuoy geriau prie pirmo pagal dydi
If you are planning on coming back to Klaipėda in the summer, you should visit 'Sky 21 terrace'. There is a roofless restaurant on the 21st floor. The food is kind of expensive there, but it is worth it
omg, you have been in curonian spit and havent visited the dunes???
What's the weather like
Warm, if its summer.
Great video! I am going to the Lithuanian side in January and am hoping to cross over into the Kallingrad half! Anyone here know if the bike rental place will be open around then?

It says Nida nudist beach on google maps.
Sweet sandbar.
Nyonyo Reservoir Here is Nida village ruclips.net/video/XOKbSTil0cM/видео.html
@@starvid1310 thank you. Appreciate it.
@@nyonyopraia You welcome :)
Nida - Best place of Lithuania :>
Like (Lietuva Vilnius)
🤩🤩🤩🤩

talking about Klaipeda there is a very cool pub called HERKUS KANTAS....;)))))
You missed out on the best parts of the Curonian spit but otherwise nice video. It's probably the most unique place in entire country well known to the locals but visited by few foreigners as it is pretty far from the capital.
Hard to watch with sound....
It’s a lagoon.:) and those other guys saying that you should’ve gone to Nida, as well as checking out the Sea museum and Dolphinarium ar spot on.
Its a lagoon...not a bay
My own land mark from 2012 is now in the russian side. My toy vehicles will be missed in the sand.
Go to the šiaulei
did you guys ever get a fine for anything while travelling in Europe? I assume there's no way to make you pay if you live outside of the EU, let alone the US
