Morozovitsa

in #travel9 years ago

The village of Morozovitsa is a few kilometers from Veliky Ustyug, in the area of the mouth of the Yug, where the Ustyug was named from.

In this place, according to annalistic data, the first settlement Gleden was formed, which laid the foundation for the construction and development of the city.

On a high hill later the men's Trinity-Gleden Monastery was founded.
Until now, preserved gates, walls, and temples of the monastery.

In 2008, Vladimir Putin himself visited the monastery at Easter.

The Trinity-Gleden Monastery itself can be seen directly from the center of the city from the embankment.

From the monastery, however, you can see the village of Koromyslovo, the confluence of the two rivers of Sukhona and the South.

At the foot of the monastery, the Sukhona River used to run, but it changed its course several times and as a result riverbed lakes were formed.

Still there is such a story: somehow after a severe flood in 1998, the Governor of the region and the Mayor of Moscow sat on a bench and "admired" the views at the walls of the Trinity-Gledensky Monastery, which is located in the village of Morozovitsa and suddenly one of them blazed - and what if to do here The birthplace of the Russian Grandfather Frost? So there was this project, which became famous for our city!
