A small café with delicious home-made food. You can have borscht with sour cream, potato casserole, chops, dumplings and other dishes.

Stop in a picturesque place on the way home. Walk along the shore of the frozen lake and take pictures against the background of snow-covered trees. And the locals usually fill up a nearby slide - why not take one?
