Narimanovskiy District: Culture, Excursions and Nature

In Narimanovskiy District, village history and ethnography meet family recreation and a botanical natural landmark. The museum exhibition space in the Volzhskoye cultural center comprises three exhibitions; in Narimanov, there are “Etnoderevnya” and a cultural and recreation park. Also available is a one-day bus and walking excursion through the district, with stops focusing on water engineering and sturgeon farming.

Village history and ethnographic culture

The first exhibition at the Volzhskoye cultural center is titled “Sovkhoz «Privolzhskiy»: legenda, istoriya, zhizn”. It explores the lives and work of the villagers and their contribution to the development of the country’s only farm specializing in breeding Karakul sheep. This cultural and historical approach connects village life and working history with the development of a specific farm.

“Etnoderevnya” is an open-air museum and ethnographic complex in Narimanov. It offers a different cultural focus from the exhibition in Volzhskoye: the exhibition centers on the lives and work of the villagers, while this is an open-air museum with an ethnographic format.

An excursion featuring water engineering and sturgeon farming

The one-day bus and walking excursion through Narimanovskiy District is intended for school-age learners and runs from spring to autumn. It visits the “Astrakhanskiy vododelitel” water engineering facility, the “Osetrovyy rybovodnyy zavod Lebyazhiy” sturgeon farm, and OOO “Geksa – Lotos”. The water engineering facility and sturgeon farm bring two different subject areas together on the same route. The day-long format and combination of bus travel and walking make this excursion different from a visit to a single exhibition.

Family recreation and nature by the lake

The cultural and recreation park in Narimanov is considered a place for the whole family to relax. Family recreation is thus a distinct focus alongside the district’s cultural destinations.

The “Dendropark kurorta «Tinaki-1»” natural landmark is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Tinaki and has a botanical focus. Its location and botanical orientation provide two specific points of reference for this natural attraction. The “Tinaki-1” balneological mud resort operated until 1979.

The regional natural setting in Astrakhan Oblast

In the wider destination of Astrakhan Oblast, the Astrakhan Nature Reserve covers 67,920 hectares. It consists of three sections far apart from one another in the lower Volga Delta: Damchiksky in the west, Trekhizbinsky in the center, and Obzhorovsky in the east; all are located in Astrakhan Oblast. Its area and spatial separation set it on a different scale from the individual places in Narimanovskiy District. Another natural area in the oblast is the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, with its forest ecosystems. One of the world’s largest bird migration routes runs through this area.
