The "Raganu kalnas" (Hill of Witches) is definitely a must-see when you visit the Curonian Spit. In 1979 a camp was organized, where artists from all over Lithuania created 25 wooden sculptures, with more to come in the following years.
One of the numerous objects is a tree trunk, that serves as a bench.
What makes the bench so special is that it is carried by a carved ant on one
of the sides, which is climbing another piece of wood that is partly in the
ground. This is only one of many carved seats or benches you will find
on the "Hill of Witches". This one was created by Rytis Cagus and Andrius
Slušnys in 1999, as you will learn on
this webpage. Unfortunately, the website only lists the title of the
artwork, the artists name and the year of creation, but nothing about the
many legends and stories that are behind many of the objects.
The entry is free and the trail is open 24/7. A local guide is highly recommended, because they should be able to tell you what every single sculpture is about.
