The beauty of traditional Russian villages and villages are not a pastoral idyll with grain cows in meadow, non-carved platbands on the windows and not fancy painting.

Vyatskoye
Half a decade ago, a new organization appeared in Russia - the Association of the most beautiful villages, whose work is aimed at combining rural settlements of the country of interest from the position of cultural, natural, as well as historical heritage, for the development of tourism. The first part of the community members was included in the Nekrasov region of the Yaroslavl region Vyatskaya village, founded in the distant 1502 on the Ukhtanka River.Over the years since the reasons, the layout of the settlement and the architecture of buildings have undergone a minimum of change - the spirit of the already forgotten era here it still lives. Settlement, where the old merchant mansions and log huts are adjacent, centuries ago more resembling a small town than the familiar village, and now looks in a special way. It is rather a reserve where there are more than 50 architectural attractions, including the ancient chapels and restaurants. And the water from the local source is quite seriously attributed to the healing properties.
There are also 10 museums on the territory of Vyatka, among which both quite ordinary and very curious - for example, the Museum of Russian Fun or Museum of Russian Enforcement.

Instead of water supply and soul - wells and a bath, which is drowned in black. And around - carved hedges and pristine nature. It seems that in a moment of the forest, a detachment of connants will appear in ancient chain mail, and not a bus that brought another batch of curious. However, this impression is deceptive.

This construction with stone walls of 7 meters thick and a narrow bobbits for a long time remained not just another fortified outpost on the map of Russia, and the only affordable harbor for ships on the way "from Varyag in the Greeks" due to navigation complicated by river thresholds and flames.
