The Kaliningrad region is an amber region that must be visited by all those who love the stone and are attracted by the Baltic Sea and the German countryside with the unforgettable flavour of ancient times.
Svetlogorsk (formerly Rauschen) in the Kaliningrad region has many surprising surprises in store for those visiting for the first time:
The Glade of Hoffmann's Fairy Tales and a monument to the dual nature of the storyteller himself.
Königsberg in miniature from the 16th century,
A new embankment, which can be accessed by descending a paved path. This path has been used since the inhabitants of the German town of Rauschen.
Funicular, running since Soviet times.
There are a lot of diverse and very atmospheric cafes on the embankment, where you can try the local fish and soup "for two" while enjoying the sea view behind the window and the crackling of wood in the fireplace.
Wandini, the Nymph, the Frog Princess and the Little Maiden carrying water are all to be found in a stroll through the town.
All of these sculptures add to the charm of this beautiful city.
And the famous Zodiac Sun Clock never hurries or lags.
The old water tower is the symbol of the town.
And all around there is a respectable unhurriedness, filled with the smell of the sea and larch trees.
Zelenogradsk (former Kranj) - another picturesque small town on the Baltic seashore.
Breakwaters made of Siberian larch,
Kurortny avenue with well-kept houses, cafes, souvenir shops. A sort of "gingerbread" colour of the resort city.
But it is also a resort for cats and cats.
There's a monument to cats and houses made especially for them.
And the most amazing thing of all:
The cat traffic light.
And the zebra lights at night.
On the spa promenade you will surely meet a monument to a traveller with a cat sitting on her suitcase.
And amber is for sale everywhere: you can find amber products, amber soap and amber oil.
And as you leave this amber paradise, you'll catch yourself wanting to visit these places again, because you'll fall in love with them for sure!
The photo shows the paved path to the embankment in Svetlogorsk, which the inhabitants of Rauschen used to walk on and which we walk on now.
