Kostroma Oblast

Kostroma Oblast occupies a forested sector of the East European Plain in central European Russia. The Volga crosses its southern part, while the Kostroma River joins it near the regional capital, Kostroma; broad waterways, mixed woods and rural settlements shape much of the territory. Kostroma is one of the historic cities associated with the Golden Ring, and its Ipatiev Monastery is closely linked with the accession of the Romanov dynasty in 1613. Timber working and linen production have long been important to the local economy. Explore other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Kostroma Oblast.
