Stay near the place where the Moskva River starts. You won't miss the source: it is marked by a pointer and a small chapel, which was designed by Nikolai Vasnetsov (a relative of the famous artist).

Zamri-Gora is the highest point in the Moscow region. It is believed that on the night of Ivan Kupal at the top of the mountain hits a healing spring, but to find a spring in snowdrifts is not easy.
