The Dead Dunes, also known as the Grey Dunes, near Nida, Lithuania, are a unique and striking landscape formed by wind and sand. A visit offers a chance to explore shifting sands, sparse vegetation, and the remnants of buried villages. Accessibility can be challenging due to the sandy terrain, with some areas easier to navigate than others; consider appropriate footwear and be prepared for walking on sand. Exploring solo is possible, but guided tours can provide valuable insights into the area's history and ecology. Seasonal restrictions may apply, especially during nesting periods for birds. The cost is typically low, mainly involving transportation to the area and possibly a small entrance fee. A typical visit lasts from a few hours to a full day, depending on how much exploring you want to do. Keep in mind that summers can be very hot with little shade.
