SEASIDE CYCLE ROUTE
Guidebook
Trail guide and map M 1 : 50,000
DEAR READER AND CYCLIST!
Now in your hands – the description
of the Lithuanian Seaside Cycle Route. It
will lead you along the cycling trails of the
Lithuanian Baltic Sea coast. This route is the
first to have the new Lithuanian cycle traffic
signs. This book was made possible due to
the support of the European Union PHARE
2002 programme implementing the project
“Marketing of the Lithuanian Seaside Cycle
Route and Publishing of a Cyclist’s Guide.”
The Lithuanian Seaside Cycle Route
heads along the 100 km of the Lithuanian
Baltic Sea coast from Russia in the South
(Kaliningrad Region on the Curonian Spit) up
to Latvia in the North. The route shows you
three different regions of Lithuania, which
differ in their history, culture and landscape:
�½emaitija (Samogitia) – also called Lower
Lithuania – North from the city of Klaipėda to
the Latvian border, the so-called “Lithuania
Minor”, also called “Prussian Lithuania” or
“Memelland” – South of Klaipėda on the
land side, and the Curonian Spit.

Using the Cycling Guide of the Lithuanian
Seaside Cycle Route you can plan a cycling
trip according to your individual desires. In
this booklet you’ll find detailed maps at the
scale of 1 : 50 000, information on accom-
modation, catering, bicycling, etc. as well as
a description of the sights.
We provide you with a separate map of
the Lithuanian Seaside Cycle Route (scale
1 : 200 000), which shows you the most
beautiful two, three, and seven-day trips on
the route. Furthermore you’ll find addresses
of local tourist information centres and other
useful contacts.
More details on the Lithuanian Seaside
Cycle Route, its sights, services and
geographic co-ordinates in the National
Tourist Information System are available on
the website www.travel.lt or from the tourist
information centres.
We wish you a pleasant ride!

HOW TO USE THE GUIDEBOOK
First of all choose a route. In the publi-
cation you’ll find all three Seaside Cycle
Route sections described at length along
with general information on the Western
Lithuanian Region and its centre Klaipėda.
Maps
The trail maps in the publication are
presented in scale 1 : 50 000 (1 cm =
500 m), the Old Town of Klaipeda is in scale
1 : 10 000 (1 cm = 100 m). On page 5 you’ll
find the Seaside Cycle Route map divided into
parts and numbered. Each part is discussed
more comprehensively later in the guidebook.
In each part the directions of cardinal points
and pointers to other parts of the map are
indicated. The bright yellow-red-dotted line
indicates the Seaside Cycle Route, whereas
the red-dotted line shows other possible
connections and alternate bicycle routes.
Distances between towns are indicated in
kilometres. Places to visit and services are
indicated by arbitrary signs and symbols. All
the places to visit mentioned in the text and
indicated on the map are marked by iden-
tical numbers in parentheses, e.g. the Castle
Museum (1).
Texts
The publication presents a detailed descrip-
tion of the route of each part of the map
with distances indicated (km), towns, small
towns and places to visit. Next to the names
of the sites the number of the map where
they can be found is specified in brackets,
e.g. [map No. 1]. There is also information
on specialised and tourist services (bicycle
shops and maintenance, bicycle rentals,
bus and railway stations, ferry, etc.) with
contacts listed. The descriptions of the main
trail routes from Klaipėda to Nida and from
Būtingė to Rusnė Island are in red italics.
At the end of the guidebook you’ll find the
index of services where, in accordance with
the order of description of places below each
town name, other services and contacts are
indicated: hotels, guesthouses, farmsteads,
camping, restaurants and medical aid
points. The maps indicate public dining and
bank branches in all towns as well as bank
machines in small towns, since there are lots
of them in big towns.
