In the 12th century, this city was considered one of the largest and fortified points of Russia at that time.
Local historians claim that Novosil was founded by nomadic Khazars in 874, and is one of the oldest cities in Russia.
And only in 1155, in a historically reliable source, the chronicle, we find the first mention of Novosil, associated with the stay of the wife of the Grand Duke of Kiev Yuri Dolgorukov, Olga Grechanka, who hid in it from the constant raids on Kiev by foreigners.
The cultural layer in the settlement is up to 1.5 m, and contains deposits of the XII–XIII centuries.

We won't have time to be bored on the river.
The rapid flow of the river will carry SUP boards past steep scenic slopes and limestone outcrops.
The rocky ridges and backwaters of Zushi are perfect for fishing for pike and chub.
You can also count on a good catch of roach, ide and bream.
The nature of the river is very changeable: the deep riverbed is suddenly replaced by rapid rifts and shallow water.
Inspection of the Holy Spirit Monastery.
During our trip, we will stop in the village of Zadushnoye, where the Holy Spirits Monastery stands on the high bank of the Zusha.
It belongs to one of the oldest Orthodox monasteries in Russia and is located on the so-called "Lithuanian Shlyakh", along which hordes of invaders and robbers came from the West to Russia.
This has led to its important strategic importance in the past.
The Holy Spirit Monastery was first documented in 1619, but according to legend, it was founded in the XII century by Hieromonk Abraham, a disciple of the holy martyr Kukshi.
The monastery looks spectacular from the surface of the river, reflected in the waters of the Zusha.
