Ventė Horn (Lithuanian: Ventės ragas, literally - Ventės Horn; sometimes referred to as Ventė Cape or Ventė Peninsular) is a cape in Nemunas Delta in Lithuania. It is known as a rest 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.
