Historical monuments along Lake Ladoga
We will spend the first day of the trip actively. We plan a walk along the fortress of Oreshek, a hearty lunch in the ancient city of Russia, a tour of the ancient monastery on the banks of the river Oyat and horseback riding. And at the end of the day it is planned to visit a real Russian bath.

Oreshek Fortress (Крепость Орешек)
Oreshek fortress was built in the XIV century at the source of the Neva River from Lake Ladoga. The fort received its name thanks to Orekhovo Island, on which it appeared. During the Great Patriotic War the fortress was seriously damaged: the heroic defenders of the fortress are dedicated a memorial complex, opened in 1985.
To get to the island you can only by water: three motor ships depart from the pier every 10-15 minutes. The ship runs from 10:00 to 18:00 on weekdays (until 19:00 at weekends and on public holidays). In October, the schedule is shortened by an hour. Admission to museum is charged separately.

Старая ладога
Lunch at the café "Ancient Ladoga". This is a cozy place with a Russian stove and moderate prices. The name of cafe has received in honor of a city with the same name which, by estimations of scientists, is the most ancient city of Russia.

Введено-Оятский женский монастырь
Look in Vvedeno-Ojatsky female monastery where relics of parents of orthodox saint Alexander Svirsky rest. The monastery is not so large, as other known temples, but here it is rather small and very pleasant to have a rest with soul. You can visit the monastery with a tour, which should be coordinated at least a week with the administration.

Old Sloboda" Hotel and Restaurant Complex
Tonight, let's look at the base "Old Sloboda". This place is a real gift for lovers of nature, silence and home comfort. Russian bath with birch and juniper brooms will help to forget all sorrows and relax tense muscles while walking.
On the territory of the complex there is an equestrian club, which offers walks in the fields, riding in the crew and individual riding lessons (you need to register in advance anyway).
If not horses, then bikes, board games and billiards. You can also have dinner here: at the base there is a beautiful restaurant that serves Russian and European cuisine, as well as authorial treats from the chef for real gourmets.
