Curonian Lagoon
A large freshwater lagoon that offers a striking color contrast against the deep blue of the Baltic Sea.
Samogitian National Park
Aerial views of the lush, rolling hills and dense forests of the Lithuanian highlands.
Braslaw Lakes
One of the most beautiful lake groups in Belarus, featuring intricate shorelines and turquoise waters.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Ensure you are looking out immediately after takeoff from Khrabrovo, as the Curonian Spit is a fleeting but magnificent sight.
