Holiday: "Kaliningrad" by badstue
written: 18 July 2009 last time there: July 2009
It is Kaliningrad not Kalingrad.
It was the former Königsberg home to E. Kant.
In Kaliningrad one finds few traces of its German past but there is the Cathedral, a statue of Kant and some other buildings. Kaliningrad is green with many parks, the river and some nice restaurants and shopping centres.
I went by bus (15 rubles) to Zelenogradsk by the Baltic sea. A nice resort town with a very good beach. Near here the famous nature reserve begins: Korskaja Kosa (Kurishe Nehrung). Is is a must due to its beauty and peace. I stayed at Hotel Deima.
