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 list of all the sculptors, whose names
were carved in three big tree trunks. Each of them has a little roof on it, but
the right one also has a chimney, together with a devil with a trident.
This is only one of many carved sculptures depicting the devil. These three
tree trunks are a work of Algirdas Baranauskas, Pranas Peleckis and Ipolitas
Užkurnys (no information as to who carved the devil) and created in 1981, 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.
