Day 2 - Excursion to the Svyatogorsky monastery. Excursion to the apiary. Master class "Candle of desires"

Excursion to the Svyatogorsky monastery, located in the village of Pushkinskie Gory. The Holy Dormition Monastery of Svyatogorsk was founded by order of Tsar Ivan IV and has been one of the most revered in Russia since ancient times.
Buried in the monastery at the Hannibal-Pushkin family cemetery are: the poet's grandfather Osip Abramovich Hannibal, grandmother Maria Alekseevna, mother Nadezhda Osipovna and father Sergei Lvovich. The Svyatogorsky Monastery became the last earthly shelter for Pushkin.
Visit to the grave of A. S. Pushkin.
Inspection of Savkino. On the way from Mikhailovskoye to Trigorskoye, about a kilometer from the Mikhailovskoye Museum Estate, on the steep bank of the Soroti stands the Savkino hillfort or Savkina Hill, as it was called in the post-Pushkin period – one of the most picturesque places of the Pushkin Reserve.
Archaeological materials have led to the conclusion that there are traces of life in the settlement of the IX–XIII and the end of the XIV–XVI centuries. A spiral road running along the hill, typical for such fortifications, leads to its top.
From here you can enjoy an excellent view of Lake Kuchane and Petrovsky Park, the poet's estate and meadows, intricately carved by the Soroti riverbed. Across the river stretches the village of Dedovtsy, past it winds the old road to Pskov.

Pushkin scholars are sure that Trigorskoye is the house of the Larins in the novel "Eugene Onegin", and the Trigorsk young ladies themselves considered themselves the prototypes of the novel's heroines, Tatiana and Olga.
