Learn about how ancient Slavs lived on the picturesque banks of the Msta River

The 10th Century Slavic Village has been carefully restored by archaeologists from the ground up. This unique recreation of an ancient settlement is now open to the public. Visitors can grind grain in a mortar, start a fire with flint and steel, kindle a stove and enjoy the beauty of the Lyubytinsky District.

Searching for amber and birds

Autumn in Kaliningrad and its environs is the best time for recreational and educational tours. The weather is already too cold to swim in the sea, but it’s still pleasant to walk along the shore, breathe in the salty air and sunbathe. It is also the best season for finding pieces of amber on the beach. There is the Curonian Spit where up to one million birds pass by per day during migration season. Many of them stop here to rest and recharge. With all kinds of events at museums and cathedrals, exhibitions and clubs, concerts and theatres, no day will be lost to bad weather.

September in the Leningrad Region

Monrepos Park in Vyborg is a perfect mix of northern wilderness and landscape art. In the autumn, when the park paths are coloured with all shades of gold, the surrounding beauty encourages peaceful contemplation and reflection. If you want to travel back to the Middle Ages in Russia, visit Priozersk and enjoy the picturesque landscapes of the Korela Fortress amid the fall scenery of the Vuoksi River.
