Oredezhskie caves, museums and a restaurant at Castle BIP

Start the final day of your journey with coffee and fresh pastries. The cozy bakery is located in a very picturesque area.

One of the main natural attractions of the Leningrad region is the quartz caves, which have two names: Oredezhskie or Borschevskie. It should be noted that the caves are of artificial origin. Once there was the development of white quartz sand for the Torkovic glass factory.

On the way to St. Petersburg we suggest you to visit the memorial complex in Luga district "Partisan Glory", which you passed yesterday. It was established in 1975 and is dedicated to the partisans of the Leningrad region who fought against the Nazi invaders.

Another attraction on the way to St. Petersburg is waiting for you in the village of Rozhdestvenno, an 18th century manor. Its history is closely connected with Vladimir Nabokov. The manor was passed down to the writer from his maternal relatives, but it didn't last long. After the revolution he was forced to leave the country and abandon all his property.
Now the restoration is underway inside the building, but it is worth a visit all the same! Take a walk around the village, the park with its "humpback" bridge, walk to the sacred spring, and further along the river you will find a cave that you can enter. But it is very desirable to be in waterproof shoes.
Please note the opening hours: Wednesday - Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00.

The last museum in this little trip to the south of the Leningrad region. The estate once belonged to the great-grandfather of Alexander Pushkin and associate of Peter I - Abram Petrovich Hannibal. He moved here after retirement and lived here until his death in 1781.
The museum was opened in 1999. Here you can learn more about the fate of Abram Hannibal, the parents of Alexander Pushkin, and even about the great writer's nanny - Arina Rodionovna, near the estate there is a monument to her.
Pay attention to the working hours: daily from 10:00 to 17:00, off - Monday.

You haven't seen better service than the Castle Beep restaurant. A large selection of dishes to prepare for you in one of the six variations of your choice. There are 8 halls for guests, a summer veranda and picnic areas.
During the summer season there is a tour of the vegetable garden, where you will gather your own harvest, which afterwards will be prepared for you as you wish.
