In the vast region of the Nemunas River Delta, water activities reign supreme. Guided canoe tours through the Curonian Lagoon are very popular amongst visitors. For anglers, the lagoon is the ultimate paradise. Outside the delta in the surrounding towns, many old-fashioned homesteads offer places to stay, crafts shops and give a tasting of the fine local cuisine. Environmental conservation is a major foresight amongst the local municipalities. In 2004, the entire territory in the regional park was included in the "Natura 2000" network of the European Union. Winner of the "2009 Tourism and protected areas award" as a Destination of Excellence (EDEN).
