Germany

May 23 – June 6, 2026: Tour to the ancestral villages of the Volga Germans in Germany along with time in Munich, Heidelberg, Rothenburg (ob der Tauber), Büdingen, and Lübeck.

The detail of each day that involves visiting the ancestral villages of those who settled in the German colonies along the Russian Volga River in the 1760s will be scheduled after all participants have been accepted. We will incorporate those villages that participants have requested on their Tour Application Form and create an itinerary.
