Ergebnis für "The Journey" in Russland

Black Dragon River is a personal journey down one of Asia's great rivers. The world's ninth largest river, the Amur serves as a large part of the border between Russia and China. As a crossroads for the great empires of Asia, this area offers journalist Dominic Ziegler a lens with which to examine the societies at Europe's only borderland with East Asia.

The tour begins with a tour of Moscow and the Kremlin, which towers on a forty meter high hill above the Moskva River. With the construction of the Kremlin, the history of the city began as the spiritual and secular center of the country. The fascinating "cruise of the tsars" leads over rivers, canals and lakes through the former empire of the tsars, past monasteries and wooden churches to St. Petersburg. The first travel destination is the historic town of Uglic and later Jaroslavl, one of the oldest trading cities on the Volga.
