Today, you will leave Klaipeda behind and head to the coast and visit the gorgeous seaside escape that is Neringa. Due to the harsh climate and crosswinds here, for centuries fishing villages were being continuously destroyed by moving sand and once again being rebuilt. In the 20th century, a huge project to fill the spit with pine forests began to prevent further destruction. Today, you can see the forests that have put this place on the map.
