Cormorant and Grey Heron Colony

Just outside the town of Juodkrantė, you’ll find one of the oldest and largest cormorant colonies in Europe. With almost 2,000 great cormorants nesting there, the area has a uniquely dark and foreboding feel (mostly due to the fact that the bird’s acidic droppings have stripped the leaves from surrounding trees and flora). And you can experience this singular scene first hand, as a special viewing platform has been set up in front of their nests. Definitely not one to be missed!
