Landscape
Lithuania is a lowland country. Its highest point is about 300m above sea level. The lack of
mountains on the horizon is compensated by lush forests and countless lakes. The most
impressive screnery of every region is safeguarded in five national parks:
Curonian spit (Kuršių nerija) National Park
This UNESCO-inscribed 98 km long narrow Baltic Sea peninsula, now spanned by two
countries (Lithuania and Russia), is unique both naturally and culturally. The powerful
dunes that used to bury entire fishermen villages were tamed by planting pine forests.
They offer endless possibilities for hiking, swimming, sailing and cycling as well as meeting
some wild animals.
