Exploring the Don steppes


Exploring Donland

Cossack trails abound in the Rostov region, where many towns preserve the Russian frontiersmen’s culture and way of life. Four sites near Rostov-on-Don, the regional capital, provide the best glimpse of how the Cossacks lived, and each deserves a visit:  Azov, Novocherkassk, Starocherkassk and Veshenskaya. Rostov makes a great base from which to begin your excursions.
