Valley of Death

Mirties slėnis
Valley of Death

South of the settlement of Nida, Neringa

This valley is located between the Parnidis Dune and the Sklandytojų Dune. There, between 1870 and 1872, a camp for French war prisoners was set up. Many prisoners died due to the poor detention conditions, exhaustion and diseases. They were buried in a cemetery set up in the camp itself. Therefore, the valley started to bear such a name.
