What's the challenge?
• The distance goes along the spit, which means that it will be convenient for you to control the progress and at the same time enjoy the views: white sandy dunes, forests and, of course, spectators - because they will be able to observe you throughout the whole swim!
• The Baltic Sea is wayward and sometimes capricious, a wave pressing you to the shore can appear any time, and the strength of the wind will not be known until the day of the swim (we even have a Plan B in case the weather does not let us go into the water where we plan to)
• The water is cool and not too salty, it's definitely not a simple swim!

The distances run along the Curonian Spit towards the Zelenogradsk city.
In case of bad weather, we have provided a backup plan for the swim in the Curonian Lagoon, not far from the Zelenogradsk city.
The longest (98 km!) sandy barrier spit on the planet stretches from Russian Zelenogradsk to Lithuanian Klaipeda. And since you find yourself in Zelenogradsk, it is worth a walk around. The city, which in 1844 received the status of a royal resort, is known for a picturesque seafront promenade, architecture of "German times", a 150-meter pier and a huge park. Here literally everything is created for leisurely walks along the seashore, rest and inspiration!

The distance from Kaliningrad to Zelenogradsk is just 32 km. The most convenient and fastest way to get there is by taxi. You can also get there by bus (from the central bus station) or by train from the South Station (Zheleznodorozhnaia str.) and North Station (Sovetsky pr.).
