Baltic Sea Trading Routes

The Baltic Sea trading routes are important maritime pathways connecting countries in Northern Europe, including Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany. These routes facilitate the transport of goods like timber, fish, grain, and industrial products, playing a crucial role in regional trade and commerce. Historically significant for the Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages, they continue to support economic activities today. The sea's numerous ports enable the exchange of cultural and economic resources, while its strategic location links the Baltic region to other European and global markets.
