A very beautiful national park, located on the Curonian Spit, between Dundaga, Cape Kolka and the Baltic Sea. The formation of a protected area here began in 1923. The park covers over 26 thousand hectares. One of its most important natural values ​​is the 30-50 meter high old shore of the Baltic glacial lake, called the Blue Mountains. The park also protects coastal pine forests, sandy beaches, dunes, wet forests and the Bažų swamp. In spring and autumn, many migratory birds fly over Cape Kolka. The park has preserved old Livonian fishing villages, so not only nature, but also the Livonian cultural heritage is preserved here. The Sliterė lighthouse was built not right by the sea, but on the old shore of the Blue Mountains, about five kilometers from the current coast. Excellent hiking trails and all the nature
