After a walk among the caves, you can return to the town of Tosno and have dinner in a restaurant with an oriental character. Although here you will also find the usual dishes, such as baked potatoes.
The rest of the day will be spent in one of the most beautiful places in the Leningrad region - the Maryino estate. In addition to a tour of the picturesque area, you can go horseback riding, go snowmobiling or skiing, play billiards or table tennis, and generally have a good evening.
Start the morning at the historic Maryino Manor, where you can enjoy communion with horses, horseback riding or carriage rides, then your way goes to the historic semi-destroyed Lyutka Manor. In the afternoon you will explore the Oredezh Caves and finish the day with ice skating.
The estate has plenty of entertainment to choose from, so after breakfast you can go tube riding or have a photo session in the interiors of the estate.
To get as much done in a day as possible, take a snack with you on the road. An impromptu lunch can be arranged near the Oredeja Caves.
Lyutka homestead is a three-story stone structure surrounded by a small plantation of trees. It has a rather rich and interesting history, but it is currently abandoned. Even in its present state, it is a very popular attraction, as it has preserved the imprint of its former luxury.
Once upon a time, quartz sand was mined in these places for a glass manufacturing plant in Tarkovici. The consequence of this mining was the formation of a number of unique caves, which later became a tourist symbol of the region. The shades of sand inside vary strikingly from white to brown, so it is possible to take several memorable pictures.
On your way home, make a stop at the manor "Rozhdestvenno". Even if you are not in the mood to see a museum exhibit, this place will have something to surprise you. Explore the manor building, walk through the snow-covered alleys of the park and reach the cave and see the ancient Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
You can stop for dinner at the cafe "Clock" in Gatchina. And afterwards, if you are not yet tired and ready to walk, go to the palace park.
