    Monastery
    Open Details
    The New Jerusalem Monastery is 300 meters away from the New Jerusalem Museum. It was founded in 1656 by Patriarch Nikon.
    According to the plan, the monastery recreates the complex of holy places in Palestine. The main Resurrection Cathedral was created by models of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. It reproduces the likenesses of Mount Golgotha, the cave of the Holy Sepulcher, the site of the three-day burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    After the cultural part of our trip we will rest in the most picturesque place of the Istrawake Reservoir, namely the wakeboarding club "Istrawake". Various services are available on the territory of the base: cafes, baths, beach, covered veranda and barbecues. Also, extreme lovers can try water fun: wakeboarding, wakeboarding, aquaskippers and riding on cakes. We also offer you a boat ride on the reservoir. Such a trip is suitable for everyone and will be remembered for a long time.
    It is better to book a pergola and a barbecue in advance, especially at weekends. You can do this, as well as contact the instructors and find out all about the water activities you are interested in at website.
