Why winter in Russia do not want to go? On the example of Kalyazin

dmrog (48)in #travel • 7 years ago

Several years of travel to the Central regions of Russia gave a lot of experience and understanding of the harsh Russian tourist reality. In winter, which lasts up to six months, do not want to travel at all. Unfortunately, all the possibilities of spending time in winter are reduced to a trip to the South, to the warm region,or winter skiing. There is also lake Baikal, which is beautiful all year round, but it is one thing.

Before you Kalyazin. The most common provincial town near the capital, every summer attracts a few tourists with its bell tower on the island. The need forced me to go there in the winter. It's very sad, I'll tell you.

I took these pictures last winter. Then in the city there was a small holiday on the occasion of the construction of a new multi-storey building. At the same time, I had the opportunity to take some pictures for the future. However, there was frankly nothing.
We are located in the heart of the city. This is the small historical part of Kalyazin, which remembers the city before the flooding of the reservoir. Monument to St. Macarius of Kalyazin, and behind it historical buildings.

In good condition only renovated building, adapted for the hotel. Still for sale or has already bought? Doubt.
In the house of a merchant Korovkina (with signs) in the first years of the Soviet Union was the headquarters for the fight against counter-revolutionaries.
Further another residential house.
According to the plate, built in 1898. The condition is bad, the repair is terrible, there is no view.
Number one attraction in the whole neighborhood. The same bell tower. which is photographed by absolutely all tourists in the city. The rest of the monastery, which was in this place before the flooding of the reservoir.
Several different dead and not a very moorings to which you could pass, but the snow is stopping. Winter hanging out here to find.
I take advantage of the weather and the untidy effects of icy rain.
Hurray! Unique frame! On the tree there is a clock!
Here... throughout! You can walk around the city and see several absolutely typical buildings, such as a cinema and the administration building. Everything else is either in the format of standard houses or in the format of the private sector. More of the latter, which is logical.
And that is only to look at the covered benches on which no one wants to sit.
A rare pleasant building: the former women's gymnasium, later the party, so survived.
Urban life in Kalyazin revolves only around a couple of enterprises and a few tourism. Out of town constantly leaving residents. In fact, he's gradually dying. It seems that in winter, the life here is completely stopped, even in the woods, go walking on skis. But to go into the forest I can.
Perhaps the only object I would like to visit in the city is the famous "dish".
The territory of The Kalyazin radio astronomy Observatory is closed from ordinary people, but the most important building can be seen from afar. Here is a radio telescope RT-64 with a diameter of 64 meters reflector. One of the areas of work is the study of galactic and extragalactic objects.
Kalyazin is a small town. It would be wise to assume that comparing it to other major cities for winter travel is wrong, but what I can see in winter, for example. in Smolensk or Nizhny Novgorod? Snow will hide the dirt, and the view from different sides will be as follows: gray sky, gray snow, gray walls of gray buildings and everything.
But in life, just not very bright. Even a spruce forest white-green color happy more than the sad, plain and empty city.
