We go on our way eastwards, stopping in the small town of GORO- JOVETS, its walled Kremlin, its great views, its 17th century monastery, surroundings that seem to divert from time. We go on to NIZHNI NOVGOROD,the capi- tal of the federal district of Volga, the fifth most popu- lated city in Russia and the place where Maximo Gorki was born. We will stroll along the banks of the Volga; we will see the monumental staircase going up to the Kremlin and the monument that tells the story of the victims of the Second World War. Accommodation.

We cross the river Volga by ferry (a crossing of around 20 minutes, cargo ferries to cross the river, in very limited conditions), lunch included. We continue to CHEBOKSARY, the capital of the Republic of Chuvashia, a beautiful and tidy city on the banks of the Volga. Its population speaks Chuvashian, a language of Turkish origin.
