"Elabuga 1000 Year Old"
Description:
Elabuga
How many names and names! Russian landscape painter Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin, cavalry maiden Nadezhda Durova, one of those 2 who knew everything about the human brain (and the first – God!) – psychologist and psychiatrist Vladimir Bekhterev, brilliant poet Marina Tsvetaeva, writer Vladimir Korolenko, millionaire merchant and benefactor Stakheyev, Marshal Govorov...
Elabuga is a merchant, patriarchal city, where in tsarist Russia there were “most millionaires per 1 square meter”.
1000-year-old "Devil's Fortress" - a view of 40 (think, 40!!) km around.
Yes, it is not close, 220 km from Kazan - but what does 2.5 hours of road mean compared to the opportunity to visit Elabuga!
And on the way back - stop at the fish market, famous throughout Tatarstan, where you can buy Volga fish hot and cold smoked.
