    The Early Bronze Age has left its mark in the form of dolmens - cult buildings. To one of these monuments of archeology we will be poisoned! The main attraction of our trip will be the only fully preserved monolithic dolmen. On the way to it we will visit the monastery, look at a real apiary and an unusual tree.

    Monastery, bees and dolmens

    Today our journey will be rich and memorable! In the first half of the day we will visit the Monastery of the Desert of the Cross, visit the bees in the apiary and see a tree with "tulips" growing on it. In the afternoon we will dedicate the whole afternoon to the dolmens and Volkon Gorge.

    Монастырь "Крестовая Пустынь"

    Our journey will begin with a visit to the Monastery of the Desert of the Cross. There is a font, a shop at the monastery and the beautiful nature around it. It is worth coming here at least to walk along the footpaths in the forest nearby.

    Пасека

    Here is the apiary. Here you can take a tour of the apiary, find out how honey is produced, taste it and buy something in the shop for yourself or your friends as a memento of the place.
    It is better to notify in advance about your visit to the apiary, and all the contacts can be found on website.

    Тюльпановое дерево

    In the village of Golovinka itself there is an unusual tulip tree. The tree got its name because of its flowers. The fact is that they are shaped like tulips. Near the tree there is a monument dedicated to the Decembrists.

    Волконский дольмен

    The last but most important attraction in our journey will be Volkonsky Dolmen. It's the only completely preserved monolithic dolmen. The dolmen itself is in the reserve, where you can also walk along Volkonsky Gorge and other natural wonders. It's a fantastic place!
