The route offers beautiful landscapes and valuable historical-cultural attractiveness, fruit of the presence of a community of very singular immigrants.

Trip of 44 km paved by the RP11, with supply. Combustible in Diamante and Paraná.

 

From Diamante San Martin leaves the square (km 0) for the General Av. Mosconi heading for the east. To the 4 kms will find the RP11; takes it to the left in address to Paraná. The route, very wavy, offers a landscape of varied shades with its fields sowed with different cultivations.

The agricultural development of the area was promoted by a community of immigrants denominated Germans of the Volga . They descended of Catholic Germans, Lutherans and Baptist that settled in the riverbanks of the river Volga and the Black Sea around 1770, responding to Catalina's call the Big one, tsarina from Russia , in order to repopulate that region potentially capable for the cultivation of the wheat. They accepted the challenge and they revitalized the region, conserving their culture and their language, multiplicand their families and efforts. One century later, harassed by their idiosyncrasy, many emigrated, through the port of Hamburg , to America of the North, Brazil and Argentina .

Some settled down in the county of Buenos Aires , but most settled in the county of Entre Ríos , around General Alvear. At the beginning they occupied the 20.000 hectares condemned by the national government during the Dr. Nicolás Avellaneda grove presidency (1874-1880).

The Germans of the Volga maintained their cultural identity, based on the family father's authority and the Protestant shepherd's influence or of the priest, standing out in the Catholic religion the members of the Congregation of the Divine Verb.

 

These immigrants projected their customs to the urban organization, grouping in villages according to their faith: most of the Catholics settled beside the river Paraná; the Protestants made it along the road that goes from Paraná to Villaguay.

The villages, created starting from July of 1878, were distributed along the route that unites Diamante with Paraná. Conceived without central square, their axis was the church, erected on the highest point in the place, to the Gothic way. It is touching to see the needle of a church neo-Gothic German emerging among the vastness of pines in the other hemisphere of the planet, under the Cruz of the South.

Along the RP11 will know small towns as Protestant Village , to 13 km of Diamante; Valle María (1.000 hab.) in the km 16; San Francisco (60 hab.) in the km 24; Spatzenkutter (210 hab.) to 5 km , for on the way to earth, Salto (110 hab.) in the km 20. In the km 22 follow deviation of earth of 4 km and will see Aldea Brasilera (450 hab.), been founded in October of 1878 and baptized this way in memory of the first American floor that the immigrants stepped.

Beside the river Paraná, about 9 kms to the west of Spatzenkutter, General Alvear is (400 hab.), traced by the surveyor Juan Caminos. Here the colonization of the area began. This place and the Virgin's call Passage, 7 km to the west of Aldea Brasilera (in the intersection of the river Paraná and the stream Chiclana), they are good fishing places.

Continue 34 km and it will arrive to Oro Verde , where they highlight the Rural School Alberdi and the Ability of Bioingeniería of the University of Among Ríos .

Continue 11 more km and it will enter for the Av. America, in the km 44, to the city of Parana
