Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Luk-Luhok Festival, cheese factory

    10:21 Meeting with a guide in Shuya on the platform at the entrance to the station. The sign of the Festival "Eh Luk-Luchok".

    Boarding the bus (free seating on the bus).

    Transfer to the village of Lukh.

    Historians are still debating when the Moon was founded. But it is reliably known that already during the reign of Genghis Khan's grandson, Batu Lukh was burned, and before that it was looted.

    The future town grew up next to the outpost of the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality. Earthen ramparts have been preserved from it, on which a piece of a medieval wooden fortress of the XII-XIV centuries has been recreated.

    Lukh is the birthplace of the most vigorous onion variety, without which, according to legend, not a single meal of Ivan the Terrible could do.

    We invite you to take part in the Onion Day celebration in Lukha.

    You can visit the onion fair, enjoy onion tincture, choose the "Onion Queen" and sing onion songs!

    100,000 guests from all over Russia come to the event every year.

    Transfer to Shuya.

    A private cheese factory awaits you, where a glass wall separates the workshop and the store, so that you can observe the entire cheese production process.

    The company produces more than 15 types of soft and semi-hard cheeses, as well as butter and cottage cheese. Cheeses are made using both European technologies and Soviet-era developments.

    There is an opportunity to buy cheese factory products.
