Excursion "Southern regions of Volgograd". Beketovka, Sarepta and the Volga-Don Canal

It is difficult to understand the more than four hundred-year history of the city of Volgograd without visiting its southern districts - Voroshilov, Soviet, Kirov, Krasnoarmeysky. Each of them has its own characteristics. But it is there that most of the historical monuments of architecture have been preserved, since the last third of the XVIII century and including the settlements-social cities of the 1930s.

The main object of the route, which deservedly attracts tourists at any time of the year, is the complex of the museum-reserve "Old Sarepta". There, tourists will be able to see the unique architecture of the buildings of the Germans-Sareptians, reminiscent of the city of Gerngut in Saxony. Visit real buildings that are about 250 years old. Feel the smell of ancient basements, about which legends go. Find out how the most God-fearing, learned, hardworking and peace-loving Germans lived from those who moved to these distant steppes according to the Manifesto of Empress Catherine II of 1763. Ordering excursions conducted by the staff of the museum-reserve is possible when booking 7 days before its date.
