But this time, when it comes to things to do in Palanga, we invite you to explore the unique, yet undiscovered, places around Palanga: from the Winter Garden, which delights with its year-round colourful blossoms, to the mirror mazes, the roaring dinosaurs, and the safari with its exotic animal life. When you're running out of things to do in Palanga, there are several places around Palanga where everyone will find activities and unforgettable experiences:

Dutch cap

The highest seaside place, which is fascinating with its views and natural splendour, no matter how many times you've visited it - something you won't see anywhere else in Lithuania. A 24-metre hill, a rocky coastline, steep slopes and a sea view. What you will see when you arrive here is the result of wind and water erosion - it is interesting to see what nature can do.

However, for these reasons, naturalists believe that this unique natural beauty may disappear in the future, as rising sea levels and waves crashing against the slope destroy it. So when you visit the seaside, don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy the unique views of nature and the tranquillity that surrounds you.

There is a car park next to the Dutchman's Hat. After parking your car, you can follow the forest paths to a cliff with a wooden lookout. If you are wondering what to do in Palanga, be sure to visit this place!

What to do in Palanga for walkers?

Litorina Nature Trail

Admire the Baltic shores from a height of 15 metres! The 2.8-kilometre "Litorina" nature trail, which winds through centuries-old trees, allows you to once again witness the magnificence of Lithuania's natural beauty. Starting from the Dutch Cap and stretching for almost three kilometres, the nature trail will open your eyes to the sight of high cliffs, atypical and unusual vegetation, and historical sites. There are benches for rest breaks, and a swing set up on a spectacular spot on the escarpment. 

Interesting name for a nature trail, isn't it? Litorina is the name of a glacial sea, the shorelines of which can be seen along this trail. It's interesting to feel the changes in nature shaped by the millennia - today we can walk along and see views of the areas where the old Litorina Sea used to swell more than 7,500 years ago.
