Among the atmospheric, former fishing houses, which nowadays mostly host holidaymakers, there is also the Thomas Mann Memorial House , which spent most of his holidays there. The surrounding area is also known for its beautiful beaches, the highest moving sand dunes in Europe, and forests where you can find a lot of wild animals. The spit and the adjacent area have been protected under the Curonian Spit National Park, which has also been included in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List . Although the peninsula is cut off from the rest of Lithuania by the waters of the Curonian Gulf, it is easily accessible by ferry, which runs regularly from Klaipeda.
