Upper Pond (Oberteich)
Верхнее озеро
An elongated lake north of the city center, where a lakeside path links the Dohna Tower Amber Museum, Rossgarten Gate and Wrangel Tower.
The Upper Pond is an artificial lake formed by a dam built by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century. Around it are tree-lined paths, benches and swans, and in summer you can rent pedal boats. It is where locals walk and jog. The Dohna Tower Amber Museum and Rossgarten Gate stand on the south shore, and the round Wrangel Tower is on the west shore. A loop around the lake is about 3 km. After visiting the Amber Museum, it is recommended to stroll along the shore and then walk south to the Lower Pond and the History and Art Museum.
