The Golden Ring of Russia (the region southeast of Moscow) is the most famous tourist route in the heart of Russia. It goes through the old Russian towns: Vladimir, Suzdal, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Uglich and others known for their ancient history and architecture. You will see the beautiful Russian countryside and the Volga river, magnificent orthodox churches and monasteries. The bicycling part starts in Rostov (200 km to north of Moscow) and ends in Vladimir 10 days later.

On the route you can choose your own cycling pace, a car will wait for you at the appointed places along the route. Experienced guides will look after you in case of difficulties.
