Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Natural landscape
Lake Plechtcheïevo
Lake Pleshcheyevo’s low shores open a broad water horizon near Pereslavl. This landscape stop complements the town’s monasteries, with views changing by shore, light and lake conditions.
Religious building
Goritski Monastery
The Goritsky Monastery’s walls and roofs form an ensemble of large building volumes. Moving the eye from the enclosure to the churches reveals their contrasting silhouettes in Pereslavl’s landscape.
Religious building
Monastery Nikitski
The Nikitsky Monastery is recognisable by its enclosure and domes rising above the walls. It offers another fortified religious composition to compare with Goritsky, without assuming every space is open.
Natural landscape
Blue stone of Plechtcheïevo
The Blue Stone is a boulder near the shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo. Its material and position in the landscape are the focus; stories surrounding it do not establish proven physical properties.
