Hi 2 all. I'm Alexey. I live in Kolomna 100km from Moscow. Here is Kremlin (little bit less that in Moscow Very Happy ), age-old churches. Moreover arround Kolomna (use google map or yandex map) :
Lukhovitcy (Blue Lakes, cucumber's monument) - 20km from Kolomna, our local summer resort.
Zaraisk (Kremlin, age-old churches) - 50 (don't remember exactly)..ets

so welcome

Great idea.

Most people focus on Moscow and St Petersburg but of course there is so much more in the "real" Russia to discover.

Hey, I've been on some major highways in the far east of Russia that in my country would qualify as extreme off road. Very Happy

True. And foreign tourists may enjoy the "Rest of Russia" even more than the more Westernised cities of Moscow and St Petersburg.

You and I know that only too well.

That's why it's great to see AlexSN put the call out for others to share what's special about their locale.

Personally I am well and truly over ruined churches and recreated palaces.

I think that one of the great sightseen of Russian architecture is Kizhi & other Karelyan buildings. I've been there in summer, but i think in winter it's the same beautiful!
