We’ll take you close to a restricted area where few are allowed to go, offering an exclusive view of the outer Schengen border between Lithuania and Russia. This border, which divides the Gliders' Dune (Sklandytoju kopa), is more than just a modern boundary—it has a captivating historical significance. Long before the present borders, this region was a crucial part of the Curonian Spit, a landscape deeply influenced by crusader conflicts and shifting geopolitical powers.
