O
Rýchle fakty: Shifting up to 15 meters annually, this massive sand dune rises 52 meters above sea level and stretches nearly 2 kilometers along the Curonian Spit. A stone sundial built at its peak in the 1990s marks the exact geographic location and lets visitors tell time using their own shadow.
Zaujímavosti: The sand here literally sings underfoot when conditions are right. Walking across the dune's slope on a dry day produces a low-frequency squeaking or humming sound from the friction of quartz grains against each other.
Insiderské tipy
- Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip, as the sand gets scorching hot by midday in summer.
- The dune is highly mobile and the walking path changes seasonally; follow any posted markers carefully.
- Bring a windbreaker even on calm days, as the peak catches strong gusts off the sea.
- Skip the crowded boardwalk directly from the parking lot and walk 200 meters east for a quieter entrance onto the dune face.
