Be there at the golden hour and you will be rewarded with impressive views.

A bit about the place:
This valley is situated between Parnidis Dune and Glide-flyers’ Dune. French camp of war prisoners was established there in 1870-1872. Due to bad imprisonment conditions, exhaustion, and diseases many prisoners died. They were buried right in the camp cemetery, therefore the valley got this name.

The pristine sand dunes of Neringa have hosted a camp of French prisoners of war between 1870 and 1872, during the Franco-German war.

Due to the abysmal living conditions, many died and were buried here in the sand, giving this place its gruesome name.

Beautiful area for a long walk, e.g. from the Parnidis Dune.
