Panorama, Blue Stone, Red Nose

Enter Pereslavl and turn from Moskovskaya street to Goritsky Assumption Monastery.
Climb the belltower of Epiphany church or monastery walls and look around: you will see both the town and the lake Pleshcheyevo. There are no many-storeyed houses in Pereslavl, the panorama of the town almost has not changed since pre-revolutionary times - all the same belfries and the white field of ice lake.
At the territory of the monastery the bust of Jury Dolgorukiy, the founder of the town, is established. If you look closely you will discover that the bust exactly repeats the upper part of the monument standing on the Moscow Tverskaya Square.

Then go to the functioning Nikitsky Monastery, one of the oldest in Russia.
The nuns of the monastery believe that the first church (from which everything started) was founded in XI century, in the pre-Mongolian times. Nevertheless, the oldest building of the modern monastery is the Nikitsky Cathedral of the mid-16th century (it has been restored recently).
By the way, Nikitsky Monastery is depicted on Prokudin-Gorsky's photos. In principle, for more than a hundred years the overall appearance of the monastery has not changed.

Let's look at the Blue stone, the ritual pagan 12-ton stone lying near the lake Plescheyevo.

And now, having had a good freeze in search of a stone, you can (if the car has high ground clearance and good winter tires) drive to the village of Knyazhevo to visit the Akimov family. Boris, the head of the family, used to be the founder of the cooperative "Lavka Lavka", now he has a farm (look at the shaggy mangalitsa pigs!) and a restaurant, where his wife Olga is the chef, and her sons and daughters help her in the kitchen and in the hall.
Just make an appointment in advance! They take visitors on Friday from 16.00, on Saturday from 14.00, and places for each day are limited.

Pereslavl Azimut - it is a huge wooden chalet and three dozen different cottages, built on the project, created in the studio of Totan Kuzembaev, the best Russian architect, working with wood. The cottages have several bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and the rooms lead to a double-height living room, from which you can reach a yard with a playground and a barbeque. The hotel has a spa and a very good restaurant.
