Top hondvriendelijke bezienswaardigheden in Neringa

The granite sundial atop the 52 m Parnidis Dune, erected 1995 and rebuilt after the 1999 storm, is the symbol of Nida. Combine a sunrise or sunset climb of the dune with the 360-degree panorama over the Baltic, the Curonian Lagoon and Russian Kaliningrad to the south.

The 1930 summer house of the Nobel-laureate German writer Thomas Mann, built on the lagoon hillside in Nida and described by Mann as 'an Italian experience amid Lithuanian pines'. The museum interior bans dogs but the garden, terrace and surrounding pine wood are dog-accessible on leash and offer the same iconic lagoon view.

The colourful wooden fisherman houses of Nida, blue and brown with bright window frames, topped by the famous carved vetrunge weathervanes once used by Curonian fishermen as family identifiers on the lagoon. A self-guided walk through Naglio, Pamario and Skruzdynes streets covers the most photogenic surviving examples.
