The Amber Harbour (Gintaro ilanka) is situated at the small village Juodkrante. The port was once used for shipping amber from the amber plant at the site. However we didn't find any huge heap of left amber. Today the port is used by some fishing boats.

Approaching

The inlet is quite shallow and could be a problem. We found our way in from NE, thus avoiding some sandbanks blocking the inlet.

An alternative harbour is the Juodkrante quay, sticking out from the the village proper. The depth here is 3m outside the outer part.

In Juodkrante you will find a pedestrian way in the wood, lined with wooden statues. In the dim light among the trees, the twisted and grim features seams pagan. To o the story we must add that Lithuania was the last country at the Baltic sea to be Christened. Perhaps it has something to do with statues...
