Old Sarepta German Open Air Museum and Volga Don

The city of Volgograd is so sunny, so hot, so long. And a trip to its south is almost another climatic zone - semi-desert. This is the southernmost Krasnoarmeysky district of Volgograd.

This area accommodated all the best views not only of Volgograd, but also of the whole South of Russia.

We will see the beautiful oldest settlement of German Protestant Hernhuters, which was named "Sarepta". They arrived in Russia at the invitation of Empress Catherine II and enriched the Volga region with their life and impeccable work. What they were able to do in this desert land is a miracle. The way of life of the brothers and sisters of gernhuters will make you reconsider a lot in yourself, and the architecture of this beautiful town will not leave anyone indifferent! We will reveal a huge secret as the largest remaining settlement of the Hernhuters managed to survive in Stalingrad destroyed in the war.

In "Sarepta" fans of an unusual beautiful souvenir are expected: real Sarepta gingerbread according to ancient recipes, the most useful mustard oil according to the recipe of the first Russian mustard plant "Sarepta", watermelon honey Nardek, Sarepta gingerbread, mustard and much more.

This area will also present you with the true strength and power of the Soviet people, who were able to realize the centuries-old dream of many emperors - built the Volga-Don Canal, connecting two great Russian rivers. The very beginning, the 1st Canal Gateway, topped by a 40-meter grand arch, will leave you with the most vivid impressions.

The monument to V.I. Lenin is a real giant, closely controlling the Volga! As you pass by, you will never be able to take your eyes off him because Ilyich has tremendous power. You will find out why this monument is included in the Guinness Book of Records.

And all this in one area of the South of Volgograd - so hot, so hot.
