The Yantra winds through the municipality of Polski Trambesh in numerous meanders; the lowest point in the municipal area is also located along the river. The terrain is predominantly flat and flat with hills in the east. Elevations range from 30 to 360 meters. The river’s course and the elevation figures show two distinct but interconnected aspects of the landscape: the Yantra’s winding line and the changing forms of the terrain. Its designated drainage basin covers 86 square kilometers.
You can explore the municipality through a range of interests: the river and terrain represent the landscape, while the museum and festival calendar offer history and culture. You can plan your stay around whichever aspect interests you most.
