Perm Region – impressions over the edge. Winter travel

11 more

Perm Krai is one of the most beautiful places in Russia. The Urals will welcome you with the hospitality of modern cities and the halo of ancient legends.

It was in these parts that Pavel Bazhov collected his Ural tales, the most mystical of Russian legends. Here Danila the master descended into the underground kingdom to carve a stone flower for the mistress of the Copper Mountain, here they still tell about enchanted cities and ancient Permian gods.

An amazing Stone City is located here. The region is rich in ancient mansions, churches, ethnographic museums and beautiful nature.

Day 3 - Stone City
Breakfast at the hotel.
Early check-out.
Transfer to the Stone Town.
A tour of the park.
In the spirit of Ural legends, it is customary to tell that the Stone City used to be real, but once a sorcerer turned it into stone – with all the streets, houses and inhabitants.
It is not difficult to believe in this – the remnants of weathering of sandstones take such bizarre forms that some of them even received their own names: "Stone Gate", "Seal", "Idol", "Feathered Guardian", "Turtle".
We will travel through the streets, labyrinths and squares of the "enchanted" city, see the place "where the plague went underground", inspect the highest point of the city, where the source of power is located.

about provider

A wonderful tour with a rich and engaging itinerary. Our guide, Svetlana, was very responsible and did an excellent job, explaining everything in detail. I was pleased with both the hotels and the food. Adding extra lunches was a great decision; it made everything more convenient, and I especially enjoyed the Pomor-style lunch at the Pomor restaurant. The transportation was also comfortable and reliable.
