    A fascinating trip to the Gingerbread City will give you a lot of happy memories. You will learn a lot by visiting the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve, where majestic bison are kept, and on reaching Tula, you will taste local pastries, admire samovars and simply take a break from the grey everyday life.
    The route is ideal for a weekend trip, when the schedule of sites to be visited is extended and more convenient.
