Coupling the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, as a stage of a tour in the Baltics, crossing the border from Lithuania. The border is marked by a river crossing in qauesto point by a bridge at the entrance enclave has an arc that introduces the city of Sovietsk. Crossing an area of oil extraction is reached where the eponymous enclave Capital to dominate the scenario are the decay of structures and the state of abandonment of the port that was once a major Soviet naval bases. The City of Stalinist architectural rather anonymous with wide boulevards and buildings alike since it was entirely rebuilt by the Russians after the bombing in World War II when it was German territory of East Prussia. Here was born the famous philosopher Kant. A Bagrationovsk we crossed the Russian border to enter Poland.
This trip is not necessary for a traveler. To join in Kaliningrad needed a transit visa that I got in two days in Tallin in Estonia.
