Temples, monasteries and the Kremlin

The first stop on this journey will be the "New Jerusalem" in the Istra district of the Moscow region. You can visit the museum and the tour, but just a walk through the territory and the architectural ensemble of the monastery is worth the trip on its own. A walk in the fresh air will cheer you up and energize you for the day.
Learn more about current exhibitions or sign up for a tour at official website.
Museum opening hours: Monday is the day off. Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday: from 10:00 to 19:00. Thursday - Saturday: from 10:00 to 20:00.

Next, drive towards Mozhaisk. You need to go back a little bit and leave the highway in the direction of Zvenigorod. Here is a stop for a walk on the steep hills and territory of the monastery, which is surrounded by ancient walls. You can also take a walk on the territory of the monastery itself or at the Skete of Venerable Savva, which is about a kilometer to the north from the other side of the village Dyudkovo.
