Juodkrante: A Hill of Witches

The main tourist attraction in the town of Juodkrante (the second biggest town in Neringa, the first town you will drive into if driving from Klaipeda) is of course the Hill of Witches.

A Hill of Witches (also sometimes called Jonas (John) Hill) is a tree-covered slope of the old parabolic dunes. In 1979 an exposition of wooden sculptures of ancient Lithuanian mithological creatures was opened on this hill. Nowadays it has become very popular. It's almost as much visited as the Parnidis Dune in Nida.

The exposition starts in the main street of Juodkrante and then you take a stairs and climb up this hill and later you slowly climb down in the other side of this dune. At the end there is a playground for kids and a souvenir shop for the older ones.
