The Way to Novgorod Lands
The first stop on our journey is the city of Gatchina, whose history begins with the Novgorod chronicles. The 18th century brought fashion to English landscape parks here: ancient palaces are reflected in the surface of lake water. Many temples await us on the way to Veliky Novgorod. Take a breath with the view of the waterfall.

Dinner in the historic centre of Gatchina. The interior is filled with books, photos from different years and of course the clock. There is still a long road ahead and a pleasant surprise is the grocery store at the cafe, with the option of ready-made take-away food - "just boil", "just eat".

Gatchina Palace (Гатчинский дворец)
The city on the bank of the Izhora River - Gatchina. One of the largest and "alive" in the Leningrad Region. Green yards, brick houses of the 60s. Palace and park ensemble. The main attraction - "English Hunting Castle" rises above the Silver Lake. The Signal Tower overlooks the entire city. Take a walk in the huge park, relax in a gazebo overlooking one of the lakes, there are still many interesting things to do.

Кафе "Вечер"
A roadside cafe with the right atmosphere. Home kitchen, the choice is not huge, but there is. We decided to stay overnight in a hotel near the village of Chudovo, because this is where the road "from the Varangians to the Greeks" passed. Gradually we plunge into the mysterious calm of the place.
