Vyshniy Volochek. Sights. History in the frame of natural beauty

Ivan Shamov

(From the poem "Vyshny Volochyok")

Not in Italy, not in Greece,

This wonderful old man.

And in Russia there is Venice -

Vyshny Volochyok ...

Such beautiful lines were described by the poet as a city, it is better not to say. Further, the poem also speaks about native fields, and about the encirclement of the town of Tsna, about forests more often and old canals, epic legends. All this is the best description of this region of the Tver region.

From geography

Located between Peter and Moscow, a small town Vyshny Volochek called Russian Venice because of the abundance of canals and rivers. Little Volochek in the Tver region is a transport hub. It is 3-4 hours drive from Moscow, and on the high-speed train the journey will take even less time.

Neighbors with such cities as Torzhok, Rzhev and Tver.

The main attractions of the local places are lakes, canals, rivers and pine forests, in which there are lots of mushrooms and berries. Needless to say, fishing here is a favorite pastime. You can ride a boat or go to the forest for berries. Blueberries, blueberries, cranberries, cranberries grow in abundance here. Beautiful lakes in lilies and water lilies among the pine forest will be remembered forever for their beauty.

Many vyshnyolochane, as the inhabitants call themselves, live in private wooden houses, since the tree here has a good quality. In the town, it is still possible to pump water from a well. It is worth visiting the museum of local lore, as well as the museum of sailors-veterans. In addition, visit the glass museum from the plant "Red May", where a ruby glass was produced for the Kremlin stars. Walking around the city is nice, here and there the seagulls fly, and the white sand gaily crunches underfoot.

The map of Vyshny Volochka with the streets clearly demonstrates that they intersect at right angles. The town has many ancient buildings and architectural monuments. These include the Epiphany Cathedral, the building of the Magistrate, the Merchant Row, as well as the Vanchakova Line (a street with many old houses), the Kazan Monastery (female) and many ancient stone buildings of historical value.

Vyshniy Volochek. Photo for memory

Everything here is history, everything is natural beauty and generosity. The air is filled with aromas of pines and poplars, landscapes - as if from pictures of Shishkin and Vasnetsov. Vyshniy Volochek, whose sights, in fact, are enclosed in its picturesque types of lakes and forests, in ancient buildings, storing the history of Peter the Great, lives its modest and measured life. There is no place for idleness. A cozy place for nature lovers and their gifts.
