Samara Bend, River bend at Volga River, Russia.
The Samara Bend forms a natural curve where the Volga River circles around the Zhiguli Mountains in the Samara region of Russia.
Archaeological excavations at Samara Bend revealed settlements dating from 7000 BC to 4000 BC, including Europe's earliest known pottery from the Elshanka culture.
The region contains the earliest discovered horse burial site, indicating the development of horse-related practices among ancient communities in this area.
Visitors can access the Samara Bend National Park through multiple entry points, with guided tours available to explore the natural and archaeological sites.
The bend's location marks where the Great European Steppe reaches its northernmost point, creating a distinct ecological intersection of various natural zones.
