Full day Countryside & Siberian village experience.
We drove out of the city to one of the photogenic country villages that are scattered across the rolling scenery of the Ural Mountains.
- The Leaning Tower of Nevyansk is a tower built in the 18th century located within the town of Nevyansk, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. The construction was funded by the blacksmith and industrialist Nikita Demidov and later his son AkinfiyDemidov, a famous Russian manufacturer and associate of Peter. This Tower started up leaninig nearly from the foundation. The tower was built up in the beginning of 17 centuries. But the landlord ordered to finish it. Nearly the whole industrial region of Mid Ural with all mines, iron and copper foundries and plants belonged to him. Including this place and the whole tiwn of Nevyansk. In order to continue the construction of the tower there was necessary to find out the original engineering solutions for to prevent the tower of collapsing.
- Here we could see lot of traditional Siberian “Izba” house – a style suited to the often extreme environment – that can be seen right across Siberia. Visited the locals to learn about everyday life in this part of Russia and listen to a concert of local folk music. It is a museum-village 135 km north-east of Ekaterinburg, founded in the 17th century. Surprisingly, the life of the remote village hasn’t changed much in the past few centuries. Babza Katya’s izba (she was the last owner of the house built 300 years ago, and she was the 18th member of the family in 30 square meters). We went inside the Izba and satisfied our curiosity about how 18 people lived there at the same time. We had the freshly cooked pirozhki and after a delicious dinner with typical dishes of the village before returning to the hotel.
