Kurshskaya Kosa, Kaliningrad

The Kurshkaya Kosa is a 98 kilometre long spit of land that stretches northwards from the west coast of Kaliningrad, now a Unesco World Heritage Site. Kaliningrad is unlike any other region of Russia, disconnected from Russia's mainland and


situated between Lithuania and Poland. The region's capital, also named Kaliningrad, was formerly the German city of Königsberg until the Red Army seized it in 1945.
