South- and northward stretches the Great Dune Ridge of the Curonian Spit, which does not exist only at the widest parts of the spit, i.e. the Bulvikis and Birštvynas capes, where the dunes have been blown far into the lagoon. In this part of the spit, the Great Dune Ridge is green. Its peaks are covered with mountain pine forests, and the slopes and dune slacks are full of the Scots pine forests, most of which have been planted by humans.
We invite everyone to visit a new tourist object - the Preila (Artists’) Dune. During the Soviet times, several painters liked to paint on it, therefore, its second name was started to be used among the people of Preila. Near the last house towards Nida (Preilos g. 97), the path winds to the left to the forest and towards the stairs. We kindly ask you to leave your bicycles near the path.
