Recreation center "Yamshchitskoe podvorye".

The village of Sinsk was founded in 1743 as a postal station, the owners of which were called "djaamnar" — coachmen. They built a station yurt with the help of local residents, and they themselves lived in dugouts. Two years later, the coachmen petitioned to move the station to the mouth of the Blue River, and a few years later they received a satisfactory response. That's how the village of Sinskoye arose.

Stop for 2 hours.
