Curonian Spit is the smallest national park in Russia; to get here you need to pay an environmental fee. The total length of the Curonian Spit is 98 km. The border between the Republic of Lithuania and Russia runs in the middle of the Curonian Spit. At first the Curonian Spit was created by nature. The process lasted almost 7,000 years. After deforestation, man had to restore forest cover in order to stop the uncontrolled movement of sand dunes. This work took more than 100 years. Nowadays, 889 plant species grow on the Curonian Spit, 91 of which are introduced.

Precisely here from the Curonian Spit began the Great Amber Road thousands of years ago. Тhis ancient trade Amber Route Kenigsberg-Danzig-Bratislava-Aquileia-Venice-Rimini-Rome, along which amber from the Baltic Sea was delivered to the Mediterranean Sea.
Amber Beads from Baltic amber were found in the Eastern Mediterranean in the Mycenaean tombs of the XVI century. BC e. Also products from Baltic amber were found in the tomb of Tutankhamon (1400-1392 BC). In the crown of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamon are stones with yellow Baltic amber, surrounded by diamonds, emeralds and rubies.
Via the Great Amber Route, raw amber-succinite was delivered to the southern city of the Roman Empire - Aquileia. In Aquilеia there was a high technology of processing amber and jewelry was made here, which then floated to Greece, Egypt, Syria, India and other distant countries.
