Lithuania’s Detached Paradise | Nida

A three day trip to the only part of Lithuania not connected by land.

We drove over to Klaipeda on the west coast of Lithuania and then boarded the ferry to the Curonian Spit. Half of the spit is owned by Lithuania, and half by Russia- the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.

Our destination was Nida- the final Lithuanian town before the boarder with Kaliningrad.

Its always amazing to see countries ravaged by war rebuild themselves into beautiful destinations to visit.
IIRC, this very coastline was witness to terrible fighting during WW2 with the retreating Germans fighting massive advancing Russian armies.
Many German units were surrounded, cut-off and either evacuated by small boats, surrended or died to the last man fighting in an ever shrinking perimeter with their backs to the Baltic.
Some German units in this region were still fighting when the Russian Army took Berlin and Germany surrendered.
I can't imagine the destruction this region, and Lithuiania itself suffered during this war.

I live in Kaliningrad and can't even count how many times I have crossed that border (mostly by bicycle) to visit Nida. Without accomodation but to visit Kurshis restaraunt was mandatory. Its really amazing town, not comparable with 3 villages which we have on russian side. And the whole lituanian side looks better, I mean what is done by people. The nature almost the same on both sides.

Now the border is closed, visa is very hard to get. So thank you for opportunity to see Nida again. It brought me flashbacks and good memories.

I was born in Lithuania, it's a beautiful country, thanks for wonderful video❗ 🇱🇹❤️🇺🇦👍🌊🌊🌊

[dannyson]

I'm completely overblown by the beauty of this place. Thank you for sharing

[bilbottles]

Thanks for the vid. Lithuania is a stunning country

Once about 35 year ago me and my friends were sitting on one of the big dunes you showed at the end. It was late night, it was dark, and we were having beer and looking at the moon above the Kuronian lagoon. One of my friends noticed that the path of light produced by the moon on the water is always directed towards you (the observer).

for those who think Lithuania is dirt cheap, well this is the Mayfair of the country. Like UK, there are cheap areas and expensive areas
Those little wooden houses are extremely expensive usually over 1m euro if you can get one. It's millionaires row. The Bentley's are a giveaway as to how expensive the area actually is.

A joy as always 👍

When I visit Lithuania I must go to Nida for a few days. I felt in love with Nida years ago, there is something special about this place.

as I Lithuanian who travelled across Europe I say that Lithuania has the best vibe in the air which is relaxed dreamy and mystical.

Lithuania is a stunning country I’ve been there a few times and loved the place, your videos just keep getting better and better. 👍

[Richard_Barnes]

Wow, stunning. If €30 gets me that kind of atmosphere with chilled people, then I'd pay it every time. Always good to watch and as usual, superb filming from Monika. 👍🏻🙂 Really enjoying any video's like this as we just can't travel yet due to family illness so seeing these is so good for my mood right now. Thx. Edited to add belated Happy Birthday wishes to you ☕🎉

Amazing place, last time i visit when i was 10y old, and now i'm 39 and i look forward end of august, when we come back in my mother land. Love you NIDA

[johnnysmith]

Spent many summers there. Very quiet. We'd take a river ferry from Kaunas to Nida

[unbewusst]

Have you seen Thomas Mann's summer cottage? Here he started writing his novel "Joseph and His Brothers" in 1930.

[livonian]

Was there 11 years ago. Somewhere halfway down the Spit in the dunes was a petrified forest, which looked like something out of a Sci-Fi movie.

I love seeing my world through these friendly eyes (and camera) 😃 Thank you Freddie and Monika! 🥰🏖

[aguonulaukai]

Thanks for the video! Beautiful, I like those flowers so much 15:56

[AlinaKmusic]

Thank you for the video, perfect way to show when inviting someone; my childhood holidays place and I started going back. After traveling to many exotic places in the world, there’s still no place like Neringa 😍
