Almost every Muscovite since school days has visited Kolomna and Sergiev Posad, Istra and Zvenigorod at least once. Local monasteries and museums, attractions and architecture were discovered everywhere. The Central Suburban Passenger Company (TSPPK) told socialbites.ca that in the Moscow region you can look for places where tourists do not travel, where you can spend time on a budget on holidays and weekends.
Mozhaisk
Now the express CPPK from Belorussky train station will be delivered to Mozhaisk in an hour and a half. The main attraction of the city is the Nikolsky Cathedral. You can also take a walk around the settlement where the Mozhaisk Kremlin was once located, go down to the basement and see a fragment of the huge white stone wall. Tours of the museum located in the lower part of the temple, led by experts from the pilgrimage service, will tell the story of Nikola Mozhaisky, the most unusual icon of the Moscow region. It was not painted on wood, but made as a wooden sculpture.
Not far from the Nikolsky Cathedral is the Ferapontov Luzhetsky Monastery. Remains of tombstones found during the restoration of the monastery are striking: white stone slabs are carved with forked crosses and signs, which are not at all similar to modern Orthodox symbols. You can see it with your own eyes and be convinced. And if you still want to approach realism, welcome to the house-museum of the artist Sergei Gerasimov, which stands next to the monastery.
dubna
A trip to the city of science by train from the Savelovsky railway station will take two and a half hours.
From the station, the tourist’s path leads to the old, institute part of the city: two and three-story “Stalinist” houses and professorial cottages, the streets of Kurchatov, Joliot-Curie, Flerova, etc. In one of these houses, the creators of the series “Brigada” placed their heroine Olga Surikova.
It’s in the institute part of Dubna, nice to walk around. You can learn more about the city’s history and indigenous nuclear research at JINR’s unique museum, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. The object is not hidden, access there is free. Excursions here are conducted by nuclear scientists, former employees of the institute.
It is definitely worth visiting the 37-meter-high Vladimir Lenin monument, which stands at the mouth of the canal and looks into the future. Until 1961, the same granite Joseph Stalin was opposite Lenin, but was destroyed. Another unusual monument in Dubna is dedicated to Vladimir Vysotsky, who gave many concerts in front of representatives of scientific and technical intelligentsia. By the way, there is still an excellent repertoire in the Palace of Culture “Mir”, in front of which it is installed.
Noginsk
From the Kursk railway station, the TsPPK train takes only an hour and a half to get there. The city, named after the Bolshevik Nogin, was formerly Bogorodsk, a major weaving centre. Until now, here you can see elements of the industrial architecture of “Manchester near Moscow” – factory buildings made of red brick, as well as cathedrals: blue Epiphany, red in the name of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God.
Noginsk is a city about “walking”. The quiet streets of the city center are full of cute pre-revolutionary houses. The Klyazma River is beautifully inscribed in the cityscape, not far away is Glukhovsky Park, which houses the house of the merchant Arseniy Morozov, great-grandson of the legendary Savva Timofeevich. In the round, 19th-20th. You will show how Old Believer merchants lived at the turn of the century, guide you through the most secret places of the carefully restored house and deal with the details of life.
If the soul wants practical benefits from any trip, you can visit the local cold store.
Yuri Kuznetsov, former founder, owner and CEO of Sutochno.ru said socialbites.ca about beautiful places to visit in Russia. These include the national nature park on the banks of the Lena River in Yakutia, the geological nature monument Chara Sands and the Kinzelyuk waterfall.
