During the tour, we reach the area where the volcanoes are located. Here, we observe this natural wonder formed by hot mud and gas bubbles rising from the ground.

Here, you can see and photograph perfectly restored Soviet-era classic cars dating from the 1940s to the 1970s, rare models such as Volga, Moskvich, and Chaika from the USSR period, former official state vehicles used in state protocol, and vintage automobiles of high collectible value.
