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.

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.
