    KALYAZINKA RADIO ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY

    This futuristic place with picturesque views is definitely worth a stop along the way. The facility was once intended for the study of galactic and extragalactic objects, after a fire and reconstruction is closed to the public, but that doesn't stop you from seeing the huge telescope and taking spectacular photos in front of the observatory.

    View of the Kalyazin bell tower

    The main sight of Kalyazin is a flooded bell tower, standing alone in the middle of the Volga. In the 1940s, when the Uglich Reservoir was created, part of the town had to be flooded, but the bell tower of St. Nicholas Cathedral managed to withstand the flooding, and it was left as a beacon for passing ships.
    Eventually the water level in the reservoir dropped and the monument found itself on an island of land. Since February 2021, the bell tower has been under restoration, and water excursions to it have been suspended.
