Sunset and sunrise on Mount Strelna

Lada (Zhiguli Mountains) - a part of the Volga Uplands on the right bank of the Volga, the envelope of the bend of the Samara Bend. In the mountains located Zhiguli Reserve and National Park Samara Bend. For a long time the highest point of the mountain was considered Lada Strelna, height 378 meters. But recently it became known that the highest point - is Mount Nameless (381, 2 meters above sea level). It is also the highest point in the middle zone of European Russia.

Mountain Strelna was the main goal of our expedition "Zhiguli Mountains." Actually, perhaps this is one of those places that are very hard to photograph beautifully. View from the mountain with a fantastic, but the ideal angle for shooting, we could not find. But even the strongest wind constantly blew down - did not want us to take the mountain ...

An interesting scheme hit the mountain. According to the laws of the reserve can not be reached on foot here, this can only be done by car. The cost of the entrance - 500 rubles per vehicle, excluding the number of passengers (to us at sunset was a group of about 10 people, appears to have risen by two taps on the same vehicle). Road to reserve operates two hours. From 23 pm to 9 am Free entrance to the mountain - the gate is open, no one. But we have learned after paid double the cost of entry in the first race on the mountain at sunset.
