Seaside cycling

Seaside cycling
Several groups and organisations have worked together over the past few years to promote cycling in the Klaipėda region. As well as a series of cycle lanes in the city itself, a handful of larger routes have been developed under the collective name Seaside Cycle Route, including one that runs through part of the fabulous Nemunas Delta Regional Park on the eastern side of the Curonian Lagoon. Two other routes worthy of further investigation and both of them for cycling only are the 25km trail hugging the coast north to Palanga and the 55km cycle track that runs all the way down the Lithuanian side of the Curonian Spit to Nida via Juodkrantė. Reports coming in state that the latter has been badly maintained of late and is in serious need of attention. For more information, see the superb www.bicycle.lt.
