“Volga-Quest 2014” in the state nature public reserve “Spassky”

        Experts of the reserve solemnly met participants of the “Volga-Quest” route that took course along historical transport ways of delivery of cargoes and products along the Volga river extending for 640 km.

    Seven participants in the dog sled competitions started in Tolyatti on January 25. Only Sylvia Footvaengler (Germany), who started first, could reach Bolgar. The other participants withdrew from the competition due to various reasons. It was hard both for dog-drivers and dogs to withstand cross wind when it’s 37 degrees below zero.

     After short-term camping, sportsmen continued to move along the intended route by cars.
