Northern Russia is a unique and culturally rich region. Several famous historical centers are located on its territory. And, as has been the custom since ancient times, every major city had a mighty fortress to protect it from raids. On our trip we intend to visit some of them.
First, we will go to Kingisepp, to see the famous Ivangorod fortress, and then go to Pskov, where the Pskov Kremlin was built on the Velikaya River many centuries ago. After that we will go in the direction of Veliky Novgorod and visit its famous Detinets.
