our destination for that is that little gem of a place quite old that sits in the shop corner of the volga river it's the culture of the street fight it was even out of the terribles favorite location so where always bad is it gets as you can see the watts for existence. is most likely to be visited this part of the boat trip the approach into the towns where the most memorable sights of the cruise along with. as the town lies in the shot bend in the river here for its name is said to have come from google in russian meaning cooler. is located two hundred fifty kilometers from the russian capital regarding ground transport you can get here by train and bus taking various

routes but the best way is by cop it takes around four hours as central colorful reflects off the river it's a fairy tale picture plus a location ideal to snap the tourists. move the centuries old houses and streets are amazingly preserved here but at the same time is not just an ancient town it's a very modern place too we have done a lot to develop infrastructure for tourists there are several new hotels many restaurants and cafes and most importantly interactive museums to go students a population of just around forty thousand it's a small but well known town in fact it's one of the oldest in russia a local tradition but since origins nine hundred but it was founded by prince describe it for the first documents they said. as eleven forty seven either way it's very very old. the biggest changes were to come centuries later the soviet era

brought a new stage in the development of. l.a. the foundations for many existing industries cheese production machinery and energy . famous hydroelectric power station is located here a landmark you won't miss near the river. ask a russian about luggage and most will mention the tragic event that took place here over four hundred years ago after ivan the terrible death in fifty eighty four his second son dimitri was sent here. however several years later on the fifteenth of may fifteenth ninety one the dentistry of rurik was cut short as a ten year old boy was found dead. this left to the time of troubles in the bloody period of civil war was imposed is a foreign intervention russia's history was changed forever. suspicion immediately fell in that saatchi to devise

a cause in off the bell that rang to break the news of the death caused public outrage and chaos its tongue was ripped out an exiled to siberia fortunately though it was returned to get in eight hundred ninety two and here you can see them reunited as for the cause of death after an investigation it was determined that the young boy died fully on a notch. today the tumultuous period is a distant yet prominent memory people enjoy a relaxed simple life here and now even since the fall of the soviet union unlike moscow who gets to seem to have changed much. but that doesn't mean there aren't some new and exciting if not strange places to visit. the museum of myths and superstitions already looks out spooky to me.

with its many orthodox cathedrals and churches which is known for its history surrounding religion and alongside the very supernatural fairy tales and folklores have existed in russian villages. i wouldn't want to be inside here late at night. for those myths and legends that are represented in our museum a very well kept in full in many villages across russia many people still live very close to nature in rituals and superstitions parts of their everyday lives but. this museum opened ten years ago it has a large display of items and models of characters such have lived in lakes forests and houses both good and evil this one here is of domovoi is a house elf people believe that each wooden house had such a protector said to have come from the sole of the tree is used in the construction

to see represents black magic in russia many young girls believe in such forces and tradition fortune telling was very popular to some people it still is today the evil spirits have been cool so the girl can see the future husband i think she looks extremely shocked maybe she saw me. out and if you have a ride by cruise line to get you must take a trip on a boat while you're here it's the best way to see the volga river and the town's sights from denise to run boats there's plenty of choice. cool unless you're an actual organist but it's all a high end by the hour as for me the local police have invited me to tag along for a ride. just to make sure there are no. river pirates pools.

if you perfect to stay dry this plenty of other activities you can enjoy while side saying and you can experience life as it was a century or guard. opened in two thousand and four there are two holes here at the museum of nineteenth century life one represents a local shop another is a living room of a middle class family from the past. highlights which traditions museum is interactive with various costume and dance performances and dining experiences being organized at the venue. is also an unusual exhibition in town a museum of prison art features various objects handmade by comics such as items created from words plastic newspapers bread and even paintings drawn on bed sheets one of the museum's rooms represents a cell with wax figures of prisoners in stride robes different to say the least.

as for where to stay there's a choice of accommodation in the several hotels located right in the cultural and historical heart of the town one of the newest hotels is the full stall riviera with its eighty rooms with views both of the city's architectural monuments and the volga river ok today in the mansion recreates in the style of the nineteenth century the hotel provides all modern facilities prices for double rooms vary from around one hundred to five hundred dollars a night. time . now my trip is getting really exciting. this welcoming open the to. years ago. in the. village not far from eight hundred thirty one.
