Nida Lighthouse
Nidos švyturys
A red-and-white striped lighthouse on the summit of Urbo Hill, west of Nida, where the hilltop in the forest offers views of the dunes and the coastal forest.
The lighthouse is about 29 m tall and stands on Urbo kalnas, a hill about 50 m above sea level. The original tower was destroyed by bombing in 1945 and rebuilt in 1956. The lighthouse itself is generally not open for climbing, but the hilltop it stands on has a lookout. You can walk up from the village along forest paths, and combine it with the Parnidis Dune and the beach for a half-day walk or bike ride.
