I suggest you make a gastronomic tour to a private cheese factory "Nikolskaya Sloboda". You will participate in the process of cheese making, look at the work of dairymaids, meet all the inhabitants of the farm - and these are not only cows, but also horses, goats, sheep, piglets and turkeys, and, of course, taste the divine cheeses!
And on the way you can visit the spotted deer and raccoons, walk around the old village from Bazhov's tales and mark the border of Europe and Asia.

Kosoy Broad
Landmark
Open Details
The history of Kosovo Brod - the setting for many of Bazhov's fables - begins in 1723, when a wooden Kosobrodskaya fortress was built here to defend against Bashkir raids.
You should start your walk around the village by climbing up Shkolnaya Mountain, on top of which there is a marble obelisk with a carved date of the village's foundation.
There is a new stone church in the village built recently. The building looks like a beautiful openwork tower. And in the streets of Kosovo Brod you can find pretty houses with tracery wooden carvings.

If you get hungry again after tasting the rustic delicacies at the farm, you can stop for dinner at a cafe near the Ilyinsky pond. What is definitely worth trying here is grilled meat or fish.
