06/30/2006: This is the third day of travel. In the early morning hours, we have passed the Moscow region and roll now by Golden Ring , a belt of historic towns, often marked by golden church domes and fortifications - the so-called Kremlin - should that protect once the outer limit of the " Moscow Rus .
Vladimir is probably next Suzdal and Sergiev Posad (former Zagorsk) the most famous city of the Golden Ring . The Russian Railways Vladimir devotes a change of locomotive and thus holds long enough for it to at least be able to stroll around a few minutes on the platform. The Golden Ring effect on me, as if time stood still. From Moscow's boom or a boom, such as in Tyumen by the crude oil here is nothing to feel or see. But I am convinced that this will also come here. The Golden Ring has both tourist potential, but also - by its proximity to Moscow - an advantage for the economy.
But now is our support has come to an end and we continue to roll, past ramshackle old wooden houses in the direction of Nizhny Novgorod on the Volga.
Here it should according to Oliver's planning to go as follows: In Nizhny Novgorod (formerly Gorky) we get out. Our connecting train goes as planned until the evening, so we'll have time for sightseeing. Here again, Oliver has been planned and we are in the Marina, a friend of Oliver awaits at the station.
Marina speaks good German. They welcomed us warmly and invites us on a guided tour. First we get our big backpacks luggage and then we enter the station forecourt. This is where they are as Nizhny Novgorod booming city. Life swirling heavy traffic, colorful kiosks, new bank buildings and signs all around shape the first impression. We are struggling in the wake of Marina by a bus stop. Soon we ride in a proppevollen local bus to the city center.
Nizhny Novgorod is located on the site where the Oka flows into the Volga, one can say at the mouth of a mighty river into an even more powerful.
Nizhny Novgorod, known as the birthplace of Russian / Soviet proletarian writer Maxim Gorky , after the city was named in Soviet times, but also as the armorers of the Soviet Union, the center of heavy engineering and exile of dissidents Andrei Sakharov . The city was until recently closed to foreigners. Very exciting but the history of Nizhny Novgorod and the traces on which we can convert the next few hours is.
We emerge from the bus near the Gorky Square. The day is sunny and hot. The smells of summer are intense city. Near the telephone exchange is a classic mobile Kwasfass . I have not seen for a long time! exchange in a bank on the corner of our money. Then we stroll among flower beds on Gorky square up to the Maxim-Gorki-Memorial, where we have arranged to meet with Sweta.
A woman approached our group is welcomed warmly by Oliver. It is Sweta. Also, she speaks very good German. Finally, also a German teacher. Together, we will start our city tour in which we Marina and Sweta alternate talk about important things about the city.
