General presentation
Nida et l’isthme de Courlande
Mobile dunes, pine forests, fishing villages and lagoon make up the great coastal landscape of Lithuania.
Isthmus of Courland, Dune of Parnidis and Hill of Witches give the most telling landmarks of Nida and Isthmus of Courland. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, forests, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Must-see place
Isthme de Courlande
Courtande's L-Isthmus is a sand tongue between the Baltic and the lagoon, shaped by dunes, planted forests and fishing villages. The place changes with the wind: open beach on one side, calmer waters on the other, twisted pines and colorful houses between the two.
Must-see place
Dune de Parnidis
The Dune of Parnidis, near Nida, offers a striking view of the sands, the Courland lagoon and the forests of the Isthmus. Bridges protect a fragile environment, while the sundial marks the summit as an observation point rather than a simple gazebo.
Must-see place
Colline des Sorcières
The Colline des Sorcières In the forest of Juodkrantė, a path of wooden sculptures drawn from Lithuanian tales takes place. Devils, witches and grotesque figures arise between the pine trees, giving the walk a playful and dark tone.
