The Concise Reference of the Orenburg Region.
The Orenburg region lies to the South-East of the European part of Russia. Its main river is the Ural River which flows into the Caspian Sea. The region occupies a very favourable geographical position. It is situated at the cross-roads of the most important ways that connect Europe and Asia. The Orenburg region is one of the largest in Russia. Its territory is 124000 square km. The region stretches for some 750 km from east to west.
The region's climate is sharp continental. It means that summers are very hot with much sun and winters are cold with much snow. There are many springs of mineral waters. Many of these waters are used for medical purposes. The region is famous for the Buzuluk pine forest where one can meet wild animals: elks, deer, boars, wolves, foxes, hares, squirrels, black grouses and others. The steppes and old mountains occupy a large part of the region's territory.
