      The tourists, fond of nature, should visit the northern districts of the Don land. The remoteness from large industrial centers defines the ecological cleanness of the districts. The local natural complex is unique and untouched by the civilization: the cleanest sand of the Don beaches, crystal pure water, multiple preserved lakes, pine and floodplain forests.

      By no means, the most fascinating and romantic journey across the Don land is the days-long riding tour on the famous Don horses. The riding routes are elaborated and provided by many Rostov tour agencies.

      Fishing and hunting on the Don land is also very popular among tourists. Special tours for those, who like to sit with a fishing rod or take a walk with a rifle, are also included into the gentleman service package, offered by the majority of local tour firms.

      The contemporary Rostov region goes back to its merchant traditions, being the modern and comfortable center for business tourism. The old Cossack saying goes: “The guests are welcomed on the Don land”. The Don land hospitality was famous for centuries. If you wish to enjoy the old Cossack traditions, breathe in the clear air, sit with a fishing rod by a lake or go boating at the Don river, taste the famous Cossack fish soup, splendid Don wines, listen to old melodious Cossack songs, welcome to the Quiet Don Land.
