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.
Monday is the day off.

The memorial stable is over 200 years old. Many of the Tolstoy family were well versed in horses and loved them.
You can take a horseback tour (on horseback or in a carriage) through the central part of the reserve, as well as places that usually escape the eyes of tourists.
You need to sign up for the tour in advance by phone: +7 (910) 586-00-25.
You can also just ride a horse, pony, carriage or sleigh. The stable is open from Tuesday to Sunday.

A good restaurant with traditional Russian cuisine. The menu features dishes prepared according to Sofia Andreyevna Tolstaya's recipes: Yasensky tongue with horseradish, cabbage sour cabbage soup 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, but 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.
Beware! The mountains themselves can be slippery, and the climbs and descents here are quite steep.

A unique eco-park, where you can spend some pleasant time alone with nature. In summer you can rent bicycles, go horseback riding and visit an eco-farm.
In winter, there is a roller coaster and sledding hill, and an ice rink is set up on the pond. Opens rental skis. You can ride a sled. There is a birchwood sauna in the eco park.

An art café with an unusual interior: the café has a collection of more than 30 motorcycles. There's a very good grill menu.
On weekends there are concerts by cover bands.
