Kurzeme – Zemaitija: fishing and fish food heritage by the Baltic Sea

Minija in the Šilute District features the Eve farm.  The village itself is in the Nemuna Delta Regional Park.  It is known as the Venice of Lithuania and is famous throughout Europe as a mecca for yachters, bird watchers and fishermen.  Eve is a large farm centred on the local school.  It was built in 1900 and features several buildings.  The ethnographic 19th century farm merges the cultural heritage of Little Lithuania with modern comforts.  You can arrange for meals if you contact the venue in advance.

Visit Cape Venta, where a bird ringing station was established in 1929.  Each year, between 60,000 and 80,000 birds are ringed here.  Further on, you will reach the Rusne Villa, which is the Nemuna Delta Regional Park.  The surroundings are idyllic because of the Pakalne River, and the Kuršu lagoon is one kilometre away.  The villa offers traditional and tasty Lithuanian seafood dishes.
