Sergiev Posad and surroundings

Sightseeing Nature tour in Moscow

Tour Price : 180 euros Duration : 6-8 hours Languages: English, Russian

I have 5-seater Toyota Corolla and can organize an out-of-town trip for you. One of the best routes is a trip to Sergiev Posad. Sergiev Posad, where is famous Trinity lavra is, is 52 km from Moscow, and the distance was taken by piligrims not once. Apart from the Thrinity lavra, there's another place of interest - the Toy museum in Sergiev Posad with handmade toys from different regions of Russia are on display (150 rub, every day except Mon, Tue and last Fri of a month). After Sergiev Posad we can also visit another place, related to St. Sergius life: 'Thundering' waterfall (4 km to walk if it's too muddy for a car) - the beautiful place, regularly visited by orthodoxes to take some holy water or to deep themselves into the 6 degrees stream. The artists' commune of the late XIX century - Abramtsevo estate is also on the way; here we can feel the atmoshere of dacha life 100 years ago. Also we have a chance to visit my friend at her dacha - and get acquainted with this significant part of every second Muscovite life.
