Temples, monasteries and the Kremlin

The first stop on this journey will be the "New Jerusalem" in the Istra district of the Moscow region. You can visit the museum and the tour, but just a walk through the territory and the architectural ensemble of the monastery is worth the trip on its own. A walk in the fresh air will cheer you up and energize you for the day.
Learn more about current exhibitions or sign up for a tour at official website.
Museum opening hours: Monday is the day off. Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday: from 10:00 to 19:00. Thursday - Saturday: from 10:00 to 20:00.

Next, drive towards Mozhaisk. You need to go back a little bit and leave the highway in the direction of Zvenigorod. Here is a stop for a walk on the steep hills and territory of the monastery, which is surrounded by ancient walls. You can also take a walk on the territory of the monastery itself or at the Skete of Venerable Savva, which is about a kilometer to the north from the other side of the village Dyudkovo.

We return to the highway, now the Minsk highway, which will lead you to the creative village. But first, a couple more places to visit. For lunch you can make a stop at Club Golitsyn, a restaurant of the same name in the complex with a high rating among visitors.
More details can be found on the official website and by calling +7 (499) 588-88-72.

Before arriving at the "Village", make a stop in Mozhaisk to stretch after the road and buy groceries for the house. You can take a walk around the Mozhaisk Kremlin. St. Nicholas Cathedral looks more like a church with elements of Neo-Gothic and Russian Gothic. There was used a special masonry of the gate and eleven-meter fortress wall, which could not be destroyed even by Polish guns. The walls and towers of the Kremlin have not been preserved; we can judge about the former greatness only by high earthen shafts, temples and surviving parts of the gate and a section of the fortress wall.

Since the creative village does not have its own restaurant, but there is a kitchen area in each house, we suggest stopping at a grocery store to buy food for breakfast. The best option would be the big Perekriostok in Mozhaisk.
Worth taking more water, as the water in the Village is not potable.

To reserve a house and find out what to do at the Village, visit official website.
If you don't want to cook dinner yourself, you can order food from Piu Del Cibo in Mozhaisk. They deliver in about 1-2 hours, so it's better to order as soon as you arrive.

Sometimes the navigator leads on a bad road. You need to turn left from the Minsk highway to the village of Znamenka. After the turn, after 1.9 km, you will notice a blue sign "The Village". If there are no rooms available for your desired dates, you can choose one of the hotels in Mozhaisk.
