Russia Trip: Crossing Sovetsk The Bridge City of Tilsit

#hellohalloween Sovetsk, known in German times as Tilsit, is one of Kaliningrad’s most famous towns, thanks to its bridge, cheese, and political history. The Queen Louise Bridge This bridge over the Neman River is Sovetsk’s most iconic landmark. It links Russia and Lithuania, symbolizing the town’s borderland identity.
