      Samara Region occupies an advantageous geographic position. The region lies along the middle course of the Volga, the longest river in Europe. The Samara area is characterised by a considerable heterogeneity of natural and geographic conditions. The entire region is situated within the boundaries of the Russian Plain, on the border of three environmental belts: forest, steppe and wooded steppe.
      Within the boundaries of the region, the Volga changes its course several times, making a great loop to the east and forming a peninsula known as Samarskaya Luka. In the northern part of Sarnarskaya Luka, the Zhiguli Hills stretch. The Volga divided the Zhiguli massif, which was a whole in the past, into the Zhiguli and Sokolii mountains. The Sokolii Mountains is an upland region along the left bank of the Volga stretching to the estuary of the Sok River.
      Dense forests, among which one can see rocky areas with stone masses at the foot of the rocks, cover the most part of the Zhiguli slopes.
      The mountainous relief, deep valleys, cliffs and rocks of ancient limestones and dolomites make the Zhiguli Hills both aesthetically and educationally invaluable.
      Samara Region is an important centre for raw materials (wood; wild animals, fish, medicinal herbs, ornamental plants, berries, and mushrooms). In the territory of the region, there have been developed about 300 deposits of various natural resources: shales, glass sands, Devonian oil, natural gas, brimstone, gypsums, chalk and other types of construction materials In the region and within the boundaries of the city of Samara, vast quantities of mineral water have been discovered.
      Samara Region is considered to be one of the safe and peaceful places in Russia.
