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 the "Devil's Tongue", which depicts the head of the Devil with two little devils on it. This is only one of many carved sculptures depicting the devil. This one was created by Algirdas Juškevicius in 1989, 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.
