Volga and Zhiguli from panoramic platforms

The Samara region is the heart of Russia. This is confirmed by its natural beauty, especially the Volga with its majestic cliffs, which cause awe and faith in ancient legends.

I want to give you the opportunity to experience this beauty, traveling to the best panoramic points of the region. I will tell the stories and legends of our land, and you can enjoy the views and take unforgettable photos.

“Helicopter” is one of the most famous panoramic platforms of the city and region. From here there is a magnificent view of Samara and its surroundings, the bend of the Volga and the islands, as well as the Zhigulev and Sokoli mountains. You will hear the legend of the Zhigulyov Gate - brothers-rich people who were in love with the beautiful Volga. You can see giant islands with sandy beaches and take photos in the park against the background of the Volga expanses.

Then we will go to the oldest village of Samara Luki - Shiryaevo. Here you can enjoy the picturesque landscapes and panoramas of the Shiryaevsky ravine, which cuts through Zhiguli for 35 kilometers. You will learn about the galleries, where the best varieties of lime were mined, and about the house-museum of the great artist Ilya Repin, which is the pride of local residents.

From this observation deck you will see the Zhigulyov mountains and the Volga from a different angle. You will enjoy an impressive view of the HPP. We will talk about the origin of the name Brave Mountain, about the raids of nomads from the Volga steppes, about places associated with Emelyan Pugachev and Stepan Razin, as well as about the visits of rulers who were fascinated by the local beauty. You will learn about the origins of the young city of Zhigulevsk.

I will also tell you about the history of the settlement of the Samara region, about its strategic importance in different centuries and about the unique crafts that arose on the middle Volga.
