Weiss jemand zufaellig, ob es eine Faehre Astrachan - Krasnovodsk gibt?

Auf meiner Karte ist die eingezeichnet. Im Lonely Planet wird die Verbindung auch erwähnt, allerdings ohne nähere Angaben und mit dem Vermerk die Boote würde gelegentlich fahren...

Boat / Baku - Turkmenbashi Ferry

Turkmenistan can be accessed by boat across the Caspian year-round on the daily car & railway ferry between Baku and Turkmenbashi (Krasnovodsk). Unfortunately the Azeri-run ferry has no regular schedule and arrivals and departures have to be planned with one or two spare days. Tickets are in the regions of 50-100 USD.

Further there is a weekly Russian ferry to Astrakhan, in the Volga region, also with a rather vague schedule.


Auf jeden Fall ist man in bester Gesellschaft :

A 2003 report by the Moscow-based Center for Strategic Development, "The Drug War Against Russia," noted the rapid expansion of irrigated poppy fields in the Karakum Desert. However, as the report makes clear, most of the drugs in Turkmenistan came from Afghanistan and are bound for Russia. One of the most popular smuggling routes is the ferry connecting the city of Turkmenbashi with Astrakhan (e-journal.ru/p_besop-st5-10.html). According to information released by the Astrakhan branch of the Russian Federal Security Service, while the local black market once dealt mainly in opium and "light drugs," there has been a noticeable growth in heroin from Central Asia since 1997.
