Journey to Kaliningrad (Königsberg) Exclave - Russia's Outpost in Europe
Follow me on Patreon to see more: Patreon:
I'm taking you on a journey to Kaliningrad. Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave located on the Baltic Sea, sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania. It serves as a strategic outpost for Russia in Europe. Formerly part of East Prussia and known as Königsberg, it was annexed by the Soviet Union after World War II. Today, it remains a unique geopolitical entity, distinct from the Russian mainland. It provides Russia with access to the Baltic Sea and a presence in the European Union, which can influence regional dynamics and politics in the Baltic region.
In this video, I visit a number of settlements in Kaliningrad region with traces of German past. It could happen that some members of YOUR family lived in East Prussia before or soon after the annexation of Konigsberg. Write about this in the comments, it's fascinating to read such stories!
Enjoy the video!

I had the opportunity to visit Kaliningrad for a long weekend, and my word what a place! It's notoriously quite time consuming from a British perspective to get a Russian visa, but there's an exception for overland travel to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad whereby you can get issues a 72hour tourist visa. I used a recomended Travel agent, Uni-tours.ru for the application who were very helpful and went beyond to help me get my visa.
Hope you enjoy the vlog, plenty more upcoming! Comment below if you have anywhere particular you want me to visit! Cheers - Will

Pagėgiai - what to see by the Lithuanian border next to Kaliningrad, Russia
Welcome to Pagėgiai - the gateway to Kaliningrad, Russia. This small municipality is situated right at one of the most important border points with Russia's Kaliningrad state.
As Pagėgiai is so small, there is not much to do here, but it's worth stopping at the Rambynas Regional Park if travelling in the area.
Also it is an interesting experience to go have a look at Tilžė / Tilsit / Sovetsk from the riverside and the old bridge connecting the countries.

ТИЛЬЗИТ: Город мира и сыра | Советск, Неман, сыроварня, экскурсия по Калининградской области
Экскурсия в Тильзит (Советск) – один из самых популярных туров в Калининградской области. За один день я побывала в трех городах (Калининград, Советск, Неман), увидела замок Рагнит, мост Королевы Луизы и другие необычные достопримечательности, попробовала тильзитский сыр и узнала, как его делают. Какими были эти города во времена рыцарей, Пруссии и СССР? Чем славятся Неман и Тильзит сегодня? Как выглядит граница России и Литвы? Что посмотреть в Калининградской области кроме Светлогорска, Зеленоградска и Куршской косы? Ответы на эти и другие вопросы я узнала, отправившись на экскурсию Город мира и сыра.
