The Dutchman's Cap (Lithuania)

The Dutchman's Cap (Lithuanian: Olando kepurė) is a hill with a 24.4 m high bluff, which is in Lithuania's Seaside Regional Park, near Karklė and 2 km north of Giruliai on the Baltic Sea coast.

The hill is a parabolic dune created by aeolian processes on a moraine ridge.

The location is now subject to strong erosion by the Baltic Sea, which is exposing various-sized boulders from the moraine.

The Dutchman's Cap has long been a navigational guide for sailors and fishermen, and so in the early 19th century, markers were erected here, and have been shown on charts ever since.

The top of the bluff is a good place to watch birds flying above the sea.
