Journey to Tver Atlantis through crane nests and waterfalls near Moscow

The first point in our journey will be the Crane Motherland reserve. On the territory of more than 36 thousand hectares there are rare animals, cranes nest on the banks of glacial lakes, owls hide in the crown of old spruces. Afterwards we will go for lunch and a walk to the ancient town of Taldom, and spend the night in Kalyazin.

The second day we'll spend in Kalyazin and its surroundings. The city is known since XII century. A thriving county town, where ships were built and blacksmithing developed, was half flooded in the Soviet era during the construction of the Uglich hydroelectric power plant. Ancient houses and churches are mired under the water column, and only the five-tier bell tower of the Nikolo-Zhabensky monastery still reminds us of the beautiful past. In fact, everyone comes to Kalyazin just for the sake of this flooded bell tower. In the afternoon we will spend in a pine forest on the bank of the Volga river, and the sunset will be met on the summer terrace of the local yacht club.

After breakfast in Kalyazin we will go to the Yaroslavl region, to the country club "El Rancho" - ride horses in the fields and feed the wild lynxes. We'll have a hearty lunch drinking key water from Gremyachey spring, and then visit the fluffy raccoons. Let's finish our journey beautifully: to the sound of blues and with smoked ribs in the teeth - in an Irish pub near Moscow.
