Divnogorye Museum Reserve, Central Russia, Russia

An amazing experience
A pleasant drive from Voronezh city centre to countryside spreading for miles and holding a Nature reserve. A surprise monastery comes into view after a steep descent down a well trodden path. This is a beautiful place where the resident monks will give talks on the history of the area.the fragrance of roses is exceptional and there is a stall selling homemade Kbac.A separate building houses guests who wish to lead the simple life for a few days and it is possible to order lunch which is prepared by the monks themselves. Up to the right via iron steps on the hillside are the doors leading to an amazing underground monastery which was formerly used by the monks. it is fascinating to see how these tunnels were built for worship and residency without compasses or levellers. The interior temperature is constantly 8C so warm clothes are needed even in summer. Following the precarious path up to the left of the doors it is possible to see for miles over the River Don and if you are lucky you will see eagles flying . There is also a view over the field in which advancing Cossacks were held back and defeated by the Russian Army. The winding river inspires one to read Sholokov's novel "Quiet flows the Don". Finish the trip with a long walk through the trail in the Nature Reserve but beware of Vipers!
