Donskoye
Arriving in Donskoye for the first time, you would never guess that this village, unremarkable at first sight, "hides" such beauty! Walking through the park, you find yourself on a cliff edge with a fantastic view of the sea. There is nothing else like it anywhere in the region! The way down to the sea here is quite well kept, but there are no signs showing the way to it. So someone has to help you find it. In our case, that will be the guide. Otherwise, do not try to climb down the cliff — ask the locals how to get to the staircase. Once you are down on the beach and have been struck speechless by scenery straight out of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, do not forget that our plans include a two-hour walk — to Cape Taran and back.
The beach in Donskoye.
At the cape, those who wish can scramble up the cliff by a barely maintained staircase to see the Brüsterort lighthouse.
There is no lens wide enough to take in the whole beach at Yantarny!
Yantarny
You cannot get a full picture of the beaches of the Kaliningrad Region without visiting Yantarny. Its size and amenities will amaze even connoisseurs of beach holidays. After walking to our hearts' content on the sand, we will climb up into the old park laid out behind the palace of Moritz Becker, which now houses one of the best local hotels. The village itself is also well worth a look — we will drive through it in such a way that you can see the local church and all the most interesting houses. Yantarny has an old and a new amber quarry.
The promenade in Yantarny is pleasant for a stroll in summer and winter alike!
The already explored reserves of "sun stone" around the working quarry alone will last for the next three hundred years.

Vitland
Well hidden and not very widely known, Vitland delights us above all because even on the hottest summer days it is never too crowded. There is no public transport here; you can only get here by car. The charming café with a sea view will pleasantly surprise you with its interior, its affordable menu and its music. It all seems very simple, yet there is nothing else like it in the region. Having appreciated the local beauty and had a bite to eat, we will finally walk to the memorial to Saint Adalbert, the first Christian missionary in Prussia.
