I invite you to take a colorful trip to the Vologda region, on the way we are waiting for fascinating landscapes of the east of the Leningrad region, architectural monuments, attracting attention, the edge of wonders and the Ferapontov Monastery, now - a museum, where frescoes from the 16th century of the great icon painter Dionysius are preserved. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that they have never been restored. All of the above is only a part of what we will see during our trip. The Vologda region is vast and contains a lot of interesting sights, and we will try to visit the most interesting ones!
