    Day 1

    67 mi

    Capital of captains, pilots and clams.

    Visit an ancient village with 650 years of history, taste the curative mineral water and look at the radio telescope in an abandoned observatory.
    The day will be away from major population centres, so it's worth stocking up on ready-to-eat food and drinks for the journey in advance.

    Radio Astronomy Station Zimenki

    In the 60's, the station underwent research on solar-type stars. Now the station is abandoned, but recently the territory has been guarded.
    However, you can still walk around, go to the fence and see a huge plate of radio telescope.
