Geography

The district borders Lithuania along the Neman River. It surrounds the town of Sovetsk, which is not a part of the district. The railway line from Chernyakhovsk to Sovetsk passes through the district, as well as a cargo line from Sovetsk to Neman, and the main road KaliningradTalpaki–Sovetsk, which carries the major part of traffic to St. Petersburg via Lithuania and Latvia.

Nemansky District is sparsely populated; forests and steppe pasture-land prevail.
