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.

Seliger
Seliger is a magical lake country and a popular resort. Seliger is usually called a lake, but in reality it is a grand hydrosystem made up of endless blue pluses and small bodies of water, rivers, large and miniature islands connected by straits and canals. Travelers go to these regions, similar to illustrations of Russian fairy tales, to relax in the bosom of wondrous nature, to see curious historical sights, to visit holy places associated with the names of famous ascetics.
