While Sailing Along the Rhine, I Held in My Hands the 'Rhenish Sagas' Bought in Cologne and Read Them, Checking the Places Mentioned in Them in Nature Itself." The Views of Travellers from the Naddniprians on German Lands in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries

A shift in traveler interest from Gothic and Renaissance architecture to modern art, science, and technology occurred during 19th-century visits to Germany. The study reveals that travelers from Naddniprians, drawn by rest, education, or treatment, used German guidebooks to navigate routes, lodging, and attractions, with Cologne Cathedral and other landmarks becoming focal points. These journeys fostered lasting interethnic cultural exchanges, often challenging imperial stereotypes through encounters with European elites, scientists, and local populations.
