Outline
Erich Zugmayer describes a journey from Vienna to Tbilisi through Russian Transcaucasia. Starting from Julfa with travel companions, the route leads to Tabriz and Urmia, then into North-Persian Kurdistan. After a second stay in Transcaucasia, the journey continues to Russian Turkestan, Bukhara and Chiwa. The route runs from Baku to Tbilisi through the Caucasus. The report covers travel from Tbilisi via Yerevan to Tabriz in northern Iran, Lake Urmia, encounters with Kurds, and Mount Ararat, noted as 3850 meters high. The journey proceeds to Krasnowodsk and Samarkand, where Ulu Beg is visited, then to Bukhara, Tschardschuj and Chiwa, with notes on Kyrgyz people and camels. Via Baku, the author returns to Tbilisi and Mzchet in Georgia, where the journey ends. The book contains photographs and illustrations from the trip.
