Description:
The Voronezh River with a length of about 340 kilometers flows through the territory of the Tambov, Lipetsk and Voronezh regions. The width of this flat river in different areas varies from 20 to 30 meters.
On one of the islands of the Voronezh River there is still a military room for storing ammunition, provisions and uniforms, built by the decree of Peter I. During the time of Peter the Great and until the 1960s, the river was navigable and could raise even a fleet.

In ancient times, the river was called the “Great Crow”.
