The second biggest settlement of Neringa located on the coast of the Curonian Lagoon between high parabolic dunes. When navigating in the Lagoon, this location looks quite dark; therefore, it is considered that the name of Juodkrante originated from two words: „black coast“. In written sources, Juodkrante was first mentioned in 1429. During 1854 – 1855, 2,250 tons of amber were found and excavated in its approaches, and in 1882 highly valuable prie-historic amberware were found there. Prior to the World War II, Juodkrante was famous as a resort of European level. Currently, Juodkrante offers an excellent rest and comfort as well.
