Globe and Mail: Neringa – "Sahara of Lithuania"

Danuta Pavilenene, BC, Vilnius, 06.10.2011.Print version
The Canadian media Globe and Mail has published an article about the beauty of Neringa and the excitement that brings travelling over Curonian Spit.

"I felt on top of the world, surrounded on all sides by undulating mountains of sand," the author of the article Egle Procuta whose parents were born in Nida.

 

The Globe and Mail describes the Curonian Spit as "a wisp-thin crescent-shaped strip of land, strung onto the water like a dainty necklace with the Baltic Sea on one side and the Curonian Lagoon on the other", reports LETA/ELTA.

 

The author describes the Lithuanian coastal town Nida the following way: "Wood-frame houses are freshly painted in deep red, with blue and white accents on the intricately carved trim under the eaves. Tucked in behind the homes are smokehouses to prepare the fish that is this region's main livelihood. A small market in Nida's main square displays a bountiful selection: eel, bream, perch and smelt that are dried, salted or smoked over pinecones".

 

According to Egle wrote that "the sand is white and as soft as a duvet, a perfect place for a nap in the shade of a hillock. (..) Slate-blue water on either side caresses the verdant wisp of Neringa".

 

The author concluded that it would be worth visiting Neringa once again.
