Goritskiy Uspenskiy Monastyr'
Entering Pereslavl, turn from Moskovskaya Street to Goritsky Assumption Monastery.
Climb the bell tower of Epiphany church or monastery walls and look around: you will see both the town and Lake Pleshcheyevo. There are no multistoried houses in Pereslavl, the panorama of the town almost has not changed since pre-revolutionary times - all the same bell towers and white field of ice lake.
On the territory of the monastery there is a bust of Jury Dolgorukiy, the founder of the town. If you look closely, you'll find that the bust exactly repeats the upper part of the monument standing on Moscow's Tverskaya Square.
Hours of operation: Tuesday - Sunday: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. The work of the main exhibitions begins at 11:00 a.m.
Tickets can be purchased at website.

Никитский мужской монастырь
Then go to the active Nikitsky Monastery, one of the oldest in Russia.
The monastery's inhabitants believe that the first church, from which everything began, was founded as early as the 11th century, in pre-Mongol times. Nevertheless, the oldest building of the modern monastery is the Nikitsky Cathedral of the mid-16th century, which has recently been restored.
By the way, Nikitsky Monastery is depicted in the photos of Prokudin-Gorsky. In principle, for more than a hundred years, the overall appearance of the monastery has not changed much.

Knyazhevo. Food and Farm
And now, well frozen in search of a stone, you can (if the car has high ground clearance and good winter tires) go 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". And now he has a farm (look at the shaggy mangalitsa pigs!) and a restaurant, where his wife Olga serves as chef, and her sons and daughters help her in the kitchen and in the hall.
