Krasnolesye (Russian: Красноле́сье; German: Rominten, Groß-Rominten, Hardteck; Lithuanian: Raminta, Rominta; Polish: Rominty Wielkie) is a settlement in Nesterovsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, situated on the Krasnaya River (Rominta) close to the border with Poland, in the north of the Romincka Forest. East of Krasnolesye lies Lake Vistytis.
The village goes back to a hunting lodge which was first mentioned in a document of 1572. The village later became a colony of tar distillers. Rominten had already been a hunting place for Prince Elector Friedrich Wilhelm I of Brandenburg-Prussia in 1683. The region was elevated to an Imperial Court Hunting District by German Emperor Wilhelm II in 1890. The emperor's Rominten Hunting Lodge was built in 1891. After World War I Rominten remained a state hunting district, while the Lodge remained Wilhelm's private property.
