Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Monday. The tour "The history of amber resorts"

    The tour on the day of arrival is NOT included in the price of the tour.

    The program for December 2024:

    09:00 Excursion "Resorts of East Prussia" (route Svetlogorsk — Zelenogradsk).

    Zelenogradsk and Svetlogorsk — Krantz and Rauschen are the most famous and popular resorts in both East Prussia and the Kaliningrad region. And each of them has something to be proud of.

    Kranz is the first state—owned resort in East Prussia on the shores of the Baltic Sea, opened in 1816, and the city that Kaliningrad residents love the most.

    There are wide beaches, a spacious promenade, and comfortable streets leading to the water tower. The tower was carefully restored, and today the Murarium Cat Museum is located there, and from the observation deck there is a view of Zelenogradsk and the Baltic Sea.

    Svetlogorsk captivates at once – everything seems to have been created for leisurely walks and admiring the beautiful — like toy villas of the early 20th century, winding paths running down to the sea, the steepness of the coastal slope, urban sculpture, and all this framed by a magnificent green outfit.

    15:30 The end of the tour.

    The program from January to April 2025:

    09:00 Guided tour "The history of amber resorts" (route: village Yantarny — Svetlogorsk).

    For centuries, the shores of the Baltic Sea were inhabited by harsh fishermen and warriors, one of whose crafts was the extraction of amber.

    At the beginning of the 19th century, the famous physician Friedrich Kessel came to the conclusion that tarry air, sea waters and mud baths bring more benefits to patients than bloodletting and potions, and since then villages on the shores of the Baltic Sea have rapidly become fashionable resorts.

    The traditions of a healthy and pleasant vacation "on the waters" have been preserved to this day, and it is with them that we will introduce you on our tour.

    We will visit the beautiful Rauschen (Svetlogorsk), which still remembers the rustle of long skirts and the clatter of canes of the aristocratic public, and the small Palminiken (Yantarny), whose resort fame came already in the 21st century, after the conquest of its beaches by the "Blue Flag".

    You will see with your own eyes how different and very beautiful resort towns can be, and you will also visit a real production facility, where you will get acquainted with the secrets of amber extraction and processing, which, just like hundreds of years ago, gives people the Baltic Sea.

    16:00 The end of the tour.
