Breakfast.
08:00 Departure to Rzhev.
Rzhev stands among the spurs of the Valdai upland, on the steep banks of the Volga. The advantageous geographical location created excellent conditions for the development of trade. But the proximity to the western borders of the Russian lands gave the city an important defensive importance. During the 13th-14th centuries, the life of the fortress city was very difficult. Whoever owned Rzhev became the owner of both a powerful fortress and part of an important trade route.
