    The Valdai land is perhaps one of the most picturesque areas of the middle belt of Russia. Local areas are buried with picturesque ponds and thick green forests. This is a favourite place for recreation and everyone will find entertainment here: bathhouse, fishing, cycling, wakeboarding and much more.
    In addition, it is one of the oldest regions where trade and handicrafts were born centuries ago, the surrounding towns and settlements are imbued with centuries-old history.
    Your family will love this route as it includes several thematic museums, famous estates, historical sites and natural sites.
