Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Shuya and the village of Parskoye

    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).

    Back in ancient times, people chose the hill on the left bank of the Teza River and named the settlement Shuya, which was the name of the left side in ancient times.

    In the 14th century, it became the patrimony of one of the branches of the Suzdal princes, who received the nickname Shuisky. The Shuisky princes, brave and wayward, proud of their belonging to the Rurikovichi, played a significant role in Russian history.

    Sightseeing tour of Shuya.

    Shuya is famous as the birthplace of the "elected tsar" Vasily Shuisky, merchant dynasties, holy icons, the wonderfully beautiful Church of the Resurrection of Christ and Russia's tallest "candle" bell tower, which is 106 m high.

    And also Shuisky harmonicas, Shuisky chintzes, Shuisky embroidery and Shuisky liqueurs were famous all over the country. Shuya is not only the history of Russia, but also the tastes and traditions of Russian cuisine.

    Moving to the Shuisky Berries eco—farm - here you will plunge into the world of fragrant berries, learn about the secrets of their cultivation and taste natural desserts that will be remembered for a long time.

    During the tour:

    • We will walk through the berry plantations, see how garden strawberries, raspberries, honeysuckle, currants and gooseberries grow in the open air.;
    • We will learn how to care for berries so that they remain environmentally friendly and healthy, about growing methods that minimize the impact on the environment, while preserving the rich taste and aroma of each berry.

    The best part of the program is the tasting area, where you will taste the products (according to the seasons), which will become a real feast for your taste.

    After a walk through the plantations, you can visit a store with fresh berries, seedlings and seedlings that can be grown on your site. There are also natural berry products: jams, juices, nectars and marmalade. In the farmer's shop you can buy bread, fresh pastries, dairy products (milk, kefir, sour cream, cottage cheese, cheeses, ghee and butter, honey kvass) and other monastic products.

    Transfer to Shuya.

    Lunch at a cafe with Shuisky berry tinctures from Shuisky Distillery.

    Transfer to the village of Parskoye.

    Those approaching the village of Parskoye will already see the ancient cathedral from afar. And once near him, they will notice a beautiful swimming pool under the hill, built next to the Holy Spring.

    They say it was he who gave rise to the settlement. The first documentary information about Parsky dates back to the end of the 14th century.

    If desired, you can take water from a healing spring and plunge into the Holy Spring.

    Visit to the private museum of Bread and Parsky roll.

    Here you will immerse yourself in the fascinating history of baking. The entire range of work on its manufacture is presented — starting from plowing the land and sowing, ending with the moment when a fresh loaf is taken out of the oven. The museum's exposition clearly shows the evolution of the tools that peasants have used for centuries.

    The friendly hostess Elena Kalacheva will not only conduct an interesting tour, but also treat you to the famous Parsky roll.

    Transfer to Ivanovo, accommodation in the rooms of the Sosnovy Bor hotel complex.

    Dinner (for an additional fee, 700 rubles).
