Ventė Cape

Klaipėda, Lithuania

Ventė Cape (Lithuanian: Ventės ragas; sometimes referred to as Ventė Horn or Ventė Peninsula) is a headland in Nemunas Delta, located in Šilutė district, Lithuania. It is known as a resting place for many birds during their migrations, particularly the autumn migration. One of the first bird ringing stations in Europe, still in operation, was opened here by Tadas Ivanauskas in 1929.

Ventė Cape is an idiosyncratic recess in Lithuania located in the Šilutė district on a peninsula in the eastern side of the Curonian Lagoon. More than 50 thousand visitors come each year there to get acquainted with one of the most important spots of bird migration in the world. In addition, visitors can admire the beautiful landscape that opens from the top of the unique old lighthouse located there.

Visitors are always put in mind that Ventė Cape is more a kingdom of birds than of people, so they are asked to keep quiet and careful in order not to disturb the quiet birds' lives.
