June 16, from the most Western city of Russia - Kaliningrad starts exciting extreme road adventure "Big trip Amarok".
On August 28, the travelers will reach the eastern stronghold of Russia-Vladivostok. "Russia and Amrok-more than you think!"-five Volkswagen cars will run along the route of 20,000 kilometers on the most interesting but obscure corners of our immense Motherland. For a trip organized by the VW brand, commercial vehicles are not the shortest and the easiest route, but certainly the most interesting and exciting. The main purpose of the trip is a geographical expedition based on the most beautiful and amazing places in Russia. The escape will paint "white spots" on the map and in the history of our country. The serial cars will be run by paths that no one has ever driven. The Amrok will open spaces that are not yet available in any road map of the world. It's not an accident to be chosen as the launch point. This city is the most western regional centre of our country. The former Kenigsberg is not only a unique fusion of European and Russian cultures, but also one of the most reserved places on the planet. Located near Kaliningrad, the Curonian Spa is a unique nature reserve on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Only here, standing in one place, you can see the sandy waves of the barkhans and the tidal meadows, the dry pine forest and the damp alschanic, the unique "Dancing Forest" and the only amber plant in the world. It is in this small plot of land that 90 per cent of all the available amber reserves are located. "The great voyage of the Amrok" will visit 24 Russian cities and will cover the whole country not only from the west to the east, but also from north to south. The country will host the convoy of the Russian cities of Krasnodar, Voronezh, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Novosibirsk, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Novosibirsk, Krasnodar, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk, Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, as well as other cities. The main "heroes of reporting" will be the unlighted streets, skyscraper or noisy nightclubs, and the empty fields, sandy deserts and the Siberian rivers. The four main components of this adventure are: nine time zones, four climatic zones, one country-Russia and the Amrok. At the same time, the photo contest "Forgotten places of Russia" will be held. The authoritative jury will take the best shots in three categories: land, water and air. Photos of the winners will be published in the book "Russia by the eyes of the Amrok", which will be released at the end of the rally in autumn 2011.
