Beauties of Ugra National Park and Obninsk forests

Before going on the road, we stopped at a small pizza place downtown. Here we had a warm and welcoming welcome. The range of dishes here, by the way, is not limited only to pizza, you can also try a variety of pancakes, salads and cakes for dessert.
Make sure you get a good meal, we'll have lunch outdoors!

Our next stop is the bank of the Ugra river near the chapel of Znamenka village. In general, the coastal area to the north-east is occupied by private houses, but if you move west along the coast, you can see a good descent to the river or just wander on a slope among trees.

The main event of today, of course, can safely be called a visit to the famous National Park Ugra. On its territory there is a huge number of forests and swamps, rafting along Ugra and other rivers is especially popular here.
And we will find a picturesque place by the river and have a picnic!

Moving towards the Nikola Lenivets Park. In the season when no festivals are held here, the places are quite deserted and even more remarkable. It is nice to walk among giant wooden sculptures and enjoy the natural beauty.

Beaver - a real symbol of the park, but what symbolizes the wooden sculpture itself, everyone decides for himself, as to me, it looks like a lot of wind pipes, or trunks of elephants, standing in a circle. Anyway, the impressions are indelible.

It's a great trip, isn't it? And for it to be dynamic, come to the Gazpromneft filling station, take water and a snack.

We decided to spend our dinner in a rather elegant restaurant "Royal Palace" after the forest outdoor walks. The room was very spacious, bright and pleasant. Delicious meat dishes, especially kebabs, excellent desserts. Another surprise that was waiting for us at the restaurant was live music.

Most of our journey has been left behind. We managed to visit one of the most famous national parks in the country, enjoyed the contemplation of nature and unusual art objects. Tomorrow we're going home, so we're going to have to gather strength.
