    What could be better for a lover of Russian classics than spending a weekend with Polenov, Tolstoy and Esenin. That's what awaits you on this journey. You will start it with traditional Russian landscapes, which can be found in Polenov's paintings, then your way will go to Yasnaya Polyana, to Tolstoy's ancestral home, where you can learn how his most famous novels were born, how his "Childhood", "Adolescence and Youth" passed. And at the end of the trip you will find the place where the famous Russian poet Sergey Esenin was born and grew up and actually started his way in the world of literary art.

    In the places of Polenov and Tolstoy.

    You will start your journey from Zaokskie expanses, from the places where the artist Polenov lived. Polenov loved to get out of the city and watch the endless Russian fields, he found beauty in painfully familiar views - in slender birches and mighty pines. Immerse yourself in his paintings and look at the world through the eyes of an artist. Then you will be no less deeply immersed in culture - you will find yourself in the family estate of L.N. Tolstoy in Yasnaya Polyana. Here the writer was born and died, he really loved this land, and it helped him to create masterpieces. The night you will meet in Tula, strolling along the embankment along the Kremlin.
