Steppe Route

A steppe route is a type of land route used in ancient times. It was a wide, flat area used by people, animals, and caravans (groups of people traveling together) to get from one place to another. It was faster and easier to travel on the steppe because there were fewer up and down hills, rocks, or other obstacles. This made it easier and quicker to get from one place to another.
