Since we had quite a long road ahead of us, we wanted to take a short break to walk in the small town of Luga. We decided to stay in the very center of the city not so far from the square, where the memorial "City of Military Glory" is located. The place looks very neat and well-groomed, you can make some memorable shots and have a rest from the trip.

Рождествено
History Museum
Open Details
The museum-estate "Rozhdestvenno" is a unique house, built back in the times of the Russian Empire. At different times this place was owned by quite famous people: this is the merchant dynasty of the Rukavishnikovs, and the family of the famous Russian writer Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov. The estate is located in a very picturesque place, so the walk itself will be pleasant.

Кирха Св. Иоанна, дер. Губаницы
Church
Open Details
Lutheran churches were not often on our way, so on our way to Kingisepp we decided to make a stop in the village of Gubanitsa to see the famous church of St. John. It was built in traditional Gothic style during the reign of Peter the Great. It was destroyed and rebuilt many times during its history, and in the early 90's it was fully restored.

Irish Pub The Collection
Open Details
When we arrived at Kingisepp, we felt pretty tired, so we went straight to dinner. There's a nice gastropub on Karl Marx Avenue called The Collection. We ordered ourselves some pork steaks, and the side dishes we liked were mashed potatoes. The service of the restaurant is very fast, on the whole we were satisfied.
