Dutchman's Cap & Seaside Regional Park
Olando kepurė
A 24-metre coastal dune cliff in the Seaside Regional Park that once served as a navigational landmark for sailors, with a loop trail and lookout platform.
The Seaside Regional Park lies between Palanga and Klaipėda, protecting coastal dunes, pine forests, wetlands, and fishing villages such as Karklė. The park's most famous feature is the 'Dutchman's Cap,' a sea-carved dune cliff about 24 metres high. Seen from the sea, it resembles a hat, and it was once used as a landmark by sailors. An approximately 2-kilometre loop trail runs through the pine forest, and a lookout platform offers views over the coast. The coastal bike path passes this spot, and it is about an hour's ride from Palanga.
