Nowhere else will you see so many colourfully decorated weather vanes of horses and cocks, proudly spinning in the wind. It is quite natural while walking on the quay in Neringa in the evenings to smell smoked fish or to see fishermen's nets drying. Fishing in the Curonian Spit is not only an occupation, it is a way of life. On the other hand, the Curonian Spit is not only the land of fishermen, primitive nature and sand dunes. It is a place where you can have a perfect rest.
