Suzdal, Venäjä 9-11.2.2009

SUZDAL IS ONE OF THE OLDEST RUSSIAN CITIES, FIRST MENTIONED IN THE ANNALS IN 1024. Despite its venerable age, the city has remained young and beautiful as in a fairytale, built lovingly by generations of Russian people on the fertile land of Vladimir Region. Russian craftsmen have built a city very cosy and convenient to live in. Suzdal stands along the banks of the Kamenka River which was navigable 300-400 years ago. White stone was used to build many churches, monasteries. The scenery gives you an idea of the boundless expanses of Russia. If you leave Moscow at 9 a. m., at lunch time you'll drive along the main street of Suzdal. The distance from Moscow to Vladimir, a regional centre of the Russian Federation, is 172 km, from Vladimir to Suzdal - 38 km.
