Yasnaya Polyana estate and incredible blue lakes

Yasnaya Polyana is a unique natural and cultural monument. The forests planted by Leo Tolstoy have been preserved here, and the gardens and parks have retained their historical appearance.
The oldest stone building is the Volkonsky House. The house of Leo Tolstoy, where he lived for more than half a century, is preserved as it was in 1910.
The Kuzminski outbuilding housed Leo Tolstoy's school and then a guest house.
There are about 30 horses in the memorial stable at Yasnaya Polyana.

The age of the memorial stable is more than 200 years. Many of the Tolstoy family knew and loved horses well. You can take a horseback riding tour (on horseback or in a carriage) through the central part of the reserve, as well as places that usually escape the view of tourists. You should make an appointment for the excursion in advance by phone: +7 (910) 586-00-25. You can also just ride a horse, a pony, a carriage or a sleigh. The stables are open from Tuesday to Sunday.

Nice restaurant with traditional Russian cuisine. The menu includes dishes cooked according to Sofia Andreyevna Tolstoy's recipes: Yasensky language with horseradish, sauerkraut cabbage and sabayon.

The Romantsev Mountains and the Golubye Lakes, also located there, are some of the most picturesque places in the Tula Region. Many people think that it is possible to visit them only in summer, however, in winter you can see a stunning view of the occasionally frozen lakes. So, if you have a car with high ground clearance, you should not deny yourself the pleasure of seeing these stunning places at this time of year.

A unique eco-park, where you can spend a pleasant time alone with nature. Bicycle rentals are available in summer. You can ride horses and visit an eco farm. In winter, a skating slide appears, and an ice rink is poured into the pond. Ski hire opens. It is possible to ride a sleigh. In the territory of eco-park there is a bath on birch wood.

Art café with unusual interior: the cafe has a collection of more than 30 motorcycles. There is a very good grill-menu. On weekends there are concerts of cover bands.
