Autoexpert Morzharetto: car travel gives freedom to choose a route … In his opinion, traveling by car is a freedom to choose a path, which is not available in classic tours. In addition, the author of the material indicated that he traveled all the listed roads personally.
He called the route to Karachay-Cherkessia the most elevated route along the M-4 Don and E-50 Kavkaz highways. There he recommended visiting the Shoanin Temple, built in the X century on Mount Shoana (height – 1130 meters). “They say that the ancient Christian builders believed that it was more convenient to talk with God from the mountain peaks,” Morjaretto noted.
The expert advised fans of hiking to go to Gelendzhik. Morgaretto recalled that even in winter it is rarely colder than plus 7 degrees, and in the city you can relax even in the cold season: walk along the embankment, go to a cafe, visit a cable car or a safari park.
the coldest route Morzharetto chose Murmansk, or rather a half-abandoned village in the region – Teriberka, which can be reached via the M-10 “Russia” (or M-11 “Neva”) and R-21 “Kola” highway. The author of the material clarified that tourists often come here to see the northern lights. However, this phenomenon is unpredictable, so it is better to stay in the village for at least three days. “The best time to catch it is during the polar night – from about the end of November to the beginning of February. The main obstacles are blizzards and clouds, ”added the auto expert.
Finally, the author of the article considered Suzdal the most romantic direction. According to Morgaretto, in winter this city looks like the fabulous capital of a small kingdom. The auto expert emphasized that the car will only be needed to get to the city. In Suzdal itself, you should move on foot. In the city, you can visit museums, monasteries, various architectural monuments, as well as rent a sled or ice-boat and ride down the hill.
