This category brings together articles about tourist routes, natural areas, rivers, and cultural sites of Nizhny Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. The region is rich in opportunities for water tourism — along the Volga, the Oka, and smaller rivers — as well as for excursions to historic villages and natural parks. Notable sites include the Voskresenskoye Povetluzhye Nature Park, the Kitezhskaya Rus Museum and Educational Complex near Lake Svetloyar, and the Khokhloma Village — the birthplace of the famous folk craft. Water travel is represented by such projects as cruises on the Yacht Nefertiti along the Volga and sailing routes within the Sails Over Russia project.
