Live Cams in Orenburg

Orenburg is a city on the Ural River in the southern Urals, close to the border with Kazakhstan, and the centre of Orenburg Oblast. Founded in 1743 as a frontier fortress, it is famous for its fine downy shawls knitted from goat down. Alexander Pushkin came here in 1833 to gather material on the Pugachev rebellion, and a pedestrian bridge over the Ural links the city centre with the left bank, traditionally counted as Asia.
