Vecekrugas Dune
Vecekrugo kopa
The highest point on the Spit, at about 67 m near the village of Preila, an old forested dune with a summit that overlooks the lagoon.
This is the tallest dune on the Curonian Spit. Unlike the bare, shifting dunes of Parnidis, it is held in place by pine forest. A trail near the village of Preila leads to the top, where a viewing platform looks over the dunes and fishing villages on the lagoon side. From Nida, it's about 10 km by bike or car along the lagoon, and you can stop by the quiet fishing villages of Preila and Pervalka on the way.
