"Since the times of the Prussian philosopher and naturalist Wilhelm von Humboldt, the Curonian Spit has been called a woodland paradise, the gem of the kingdom of dunes and a wonder of nature. For most authors, the spit was valuable primarily because of its beautiful landscape. But why do we call it 'Curonian'? Who were, and are, its inhabitants? We are invited here to reconsider the prevailing images, and see the peninsula as a place of constant migration, an area that was almost completely depopulated as a consequence of the Second World War, and the resettlement of which was exceptional in the postwar Lithuanian context."
