Rating of objects of attraction of Volgograd region

I present the rating of the frequency of requests and visits to Objects of Attraction in the Volgograd region and in Volgograd. At the same time, this is an extremely subjective report over a five-year period of time. There is a mystery to me - the Bear ridge! The frequency of requests is a monster, the frequency of trips is zero!!!

So, first, a group of leaders in the Volgograd region:

Alexander Graben is the leader of trips to the area, promoted by an “unknown” name, bloggers and bright natural scenery for photo shoots. Available in clear dry weather, but interesting all year round.

In second place in terms of visits at once three objects:

Little bend of the Don - fantastic views, review points, in summing up - "We had no idea what it was in our field." Cretaceous canyons, fire, "reef" grotto, Don ferry. Lots of off-road, available in dry weather. It feels more like an adventure than an excursion.

The magnetism of attraction is mysticism and five “unexplained” phenomena. Interesting in a large number of associated objects: The center of the region, hydrogen sulfide springs, monastery caves, giant oaks, the cross of A. Nevsky, the collapsed combat aircraft ... For tourist buses not available, minibus drivers agree to go only those who first time : or those who do not spare transport.

"Pochaevsky Oasis" or Archedinsky Sands Full exotic, sandy dunes and other elements of the desert, a mass of natural mysteries, a hermit's dwelling, a holy spring among the sands. It is recommended to visit hot time, so that the desert does not seem toy :

Third place:

Pyatimorsky "Park of the History of the Russian State" is an easily accessible place, many go independently. And people who go with guides, thank for a huge amount of related information, about the Volga-Don Canal, about the city of Military glory - Kalach, about temples and nature.

Kamennobrodsky Belogorsky Monastery is easy accessibility, many tours and organized pilgrimage trips, making individual tours rare.

"Surovikin stones" - stones with mystical, ritual and healing properties. In summer, swimming is available in the only waterfall in the region, many dirt roads, after the rains, travel is difficult, once, after melting snow, to go to the second, the main group could not.

Now, objects are not included in the group of leaders for various reasons, one of the main reasons is remoteness. At the same time, these objects do not cease to be unique, just next to them there are no stunned, rushing and garbage, There is still an opportunity for contemplation without fuss...

Shcherbakovskaya beam (Stolbichi, Urakov Bugor, Danilovsky canyon)

Stone Balls of Kotovsky District

Lake Elton (salt lake, fantastic landscapes)

Tulip flowering (very short period of activity)

"Bulks - Karavai", "Golubinsky Sands", "Kamyshinsky Ears", "Witch Fang" - so far completely undeservedly turned out to be the rarest objects of inquiry, deprived of the attention of travelers and event collectors!

The new route: "Orphan Platzdarm", not included in the rating - with a rich interweaving of patriotism, unique natural, landscape and even religious plot lines.

In Volgograd:

The leader - excursion "The Way of the Soldier" - author's tour along the path of one of the defenders of the city from the landing site of the 13th Guards Division from the Rodimtsev wall to Mamaev Kurgan.

In second place: the tour "Volga Military Flotilla" - author's, combined, with a visit to three ships participating in the Battle of Stalingrad and the use of kayaks to visit the island opposite the central embankment.

The third place was shared by excursions "Mamaev Kurgan", "Stalingrad Fortress" and "Sarepta"
