On another weekend, we took a short hiking trip along the Baltic Sea coast of the Kaliningrad region: from Pionersky to Zelenogradsk.
You can walk the whole way along the sea line. On the one hand - the boundless sea, on the other - vegetation, sometimes coniferous, to which a steep slope leads most of the way.
All this energizes, relaxes and gives a lot of impressions. At the end of the journey, you feel a pleasant fatigue in your body, and in your soul you become refreshed and rested.
The strip of coast along the route is mostly sandy-pebbly and wide, sometimes narrower, rocky or completely sandy.
On warm summer days, a walk can be combined with swimming in the sea waters.
The approximate length of the route, from the railway and bus station in Pionerskoye to the railway and bus station in Zelenogradsk, is 18.7 kilometers. The time of a leisurely journey with halts and contemplation of the terrain is 7 hours 33 minutes.

Wind turbines near the coast (wind farm in Kulikovo. Zelenograd wind farm). In 2018, they were decommissioned and are currently dismantled.
Between the villages of Kulikovo and Priboy, directly near the coastline, the area is characterized mainly by coniferous vegetation. People come here and come to rest, arrange picnics, including barbecue. There are several wooden tables with benches.
There is also a wide sandy beach.
And, as a consequence of a large number of people, household garbage can be seen both in the forest zone and directly on the coastline.
