Moscow Russia
Moscow, the political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, has the most striking features of the antagonisms prevailing in the country. This city, which is ten million inhabitants, is home to tradition and modernity. Take the Metro to the Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, the Lenin Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols from Moscow's magnificent and terrible past , Relax after a shopping trip on the boulevard ring or watch the people on Pushkin Square.
Moscow is located in the European part of Russia, an average of 156 meters above sea level, between the Oka and Volga rivers, and the partly steep banks of the Moskva River, a tributary of the Oka which flows into the Volga.
The Moskva crosses the urban area in Mäander from northwest to southeast on a length of about 80 kilometers. Within Moscow, the width of the river is 120 to 200 meters. About 120 small rivers are streaming towards the Moskva River. With the exception of 14, they were all installed in underground pipe systems. The 128-kilometer-long Moscow-Volga canal, which branches off to the north in the west of the city, provides for the navigable connection of the river to the Iwankovo reservoir or the Volga river.
The city boundary, with few exceptions, forms the 109 kilometer-long outer highway ring (MKAD). The urban area has an area of 2511 square kilometers. The green areas account for about a third of the urban area. These include around 100 parks and more than 800 well-maintained facilities, enriched by approximately 500 ponds.
Around the city is a 30 to 40 kilometer city belt with numerous recreational and recreation facilities. The area of the city belt is 1725 square kilometers. The largest forest area, with more than 120 square kilometers, is the National Park Lossiny Ostrow (the "Elchinsel") in the north-east of the city, the second largest is the Bitza Park on the south-western outskirts.
