Nagliai nature reserve protects the Dead dunes. Dead (Mirusios) or Gray (Pilkosios) dunes are large sand hills built by strong winds, with ravines and erosions. Nagliai nature reserve offers habitat for rare plants, included in the Red Book, four villages and two old cemetery sites that are hiding under the sand. Any human activity is prohibited in the reserve except for scientific observations. The cognitive trail of Nagliai is the only place from which the reserve's objects can explore .

From 1675 to 1854, four Nagliai villages here were covered in sand.
