Beauties of the North-West

Our trip to nature we decided to start with a walk in the woods near the village of Petrovo-Dalneye. Our walk took place along the coast of the Istra River. Occasionally we would meet holidaymakers here, for the most part our walk took place in seclusion among trees. From time to time there were cottages, but the view on the opposite bank of the river does not spoil it in any way.

The Moscow region is a region where you can find a lot of nonbanal places for beach holidays. One of these places is a sandy beach in the quarry near the small village of Sychevo. We are in the middle of the bathing season, when water slides and trampolines were installed on the shore.

Before heading further north, we made a short stop at a small cafe called "U Kuzmich". The atmosphere here is simple, but cozy, and we were very friendly. In the menu you can find many traditional dishes of Russian and European cuisine, for example, we liked borscht and Caesar salad.

One of the main natural objects located near Moscow is the Zavidovo National Park. We came to it from the western side, where a small village Golovachevo is located. From here you have a direct access to the thickest forests, where you have a chance to see some rare animals, as well as enjoy the silence and real privacy.

As evening was approaching, we decided not to walk through the woods at dusk, but just went to Tver. Before going to dinner, we wanted to walk along the famous Afanasy Nikitin embankment, which offers a magnificent view of the Old Bridge, above which the setting sun is still shining.

After our brief acquaintance with Tver, we decided to go to a local restaurant for dinner. We liked a cute grill bar near the waterfront. The interior of the place is made in quiet wood colors, which creates a special coziness. In addition to a large choice of grilled meat, the menu has a lot of desserts and light snacks.

Today, after a long walk through the expanses and forests of Zavidovo Park, we decided to spend the night in Tver. Tomorrow we also have many plans, we will move to the south-west, where we think we will be waiting for the picturesque and secluded nature.
