Kalyazin snail farm and Kashi museum in Kashin

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.

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.

For lunch, check out Café Victoria. Everything here is simple, nourishing and tasty, just like at home.

Snails, as it turns out, are eaten not only in France! In Kalyazin, there is a unique farm where those very grape snails are grown. Here you will be told and shown how the farm is set up, and given a chance to taste the delicate snails cooked in a special sauce.

The largest cathedral in the Tver region, its bell tower offers a magnificent view over the city.

Walking around the city, climb the green hill of the city park, which offers a view of the city, the Kashinka River and the Resurrection Cathedral.

On the high left bank of the river Kashinka there is another place with a picturesque view - the Klobuk Monastery. It was founded as early as 1400 and has been a prosperous monastery for many centuries.
During the Soviet era, there was a sausage factory, a pigsty, a pottery workshop, and cells were converted to living quarters. Now it is once again a monastery, this time for women.

You can continue your gastronomic tour in the restaurant of author's cuisine on the picturesque bank of the Volga river. The menu is based on Russian cuisine from local products cooked in a wood stove. Pay attention to desserts!
