We continue to explore the Kaluga region.

Let's start the day in an atmospheric cafe! The place is charming-provincial, fed homemade nourishing and delicious.

As you can see, this place is the highlight of today. The formation of the estate complex took place in the first half of the XVII century under Afanasiya Abramovich Goncharov - great-grandfather of N.N.Goncharova-Pushkina.
Here you will find: the house of the Goncharovs' family, canvas and paper manufactories, parks with ponds and a greenhouse, an equestrian yard and the Church of the Savior of Transfiguration. There are also theatrical excursions and walking tours around the objects of Mr. Goncharov's estate, which is more actual for us. You can learn more about the excursions and the working hours on the site.

The unique forest area consists of almost 80% pine forest. The age of most trees is 180-200 years, and some pines are over 300. On its territory there is a unique museum, where you can learn the whole history of the specially protected natural area.

There's a gas station coming up. If you are tired, make a comfortable stop - come for a coffee!

At the end of the day, I invite you to take a little walk along the shore of Vyrka Pond. There is a special observation deck, which offers a magnificent view of the pond. There is also an opportunity to go fishing here.

Dinner tonight at the restaurant "Gastronome". It is very tasty and the prices will pleasantly surprise you.

The second day of our journey is coming to an end. Time to go back to the hotel. Have a good night!
