The mood is different: good, bad or completely incomprehensible. What to do if you do not want anything at all and the strength begins to leave you? The right remedy is to assemble a suitcase and go on a trip. This helps to calm down, put thoughts in order and accumulate energy.
It is necessary to change the situation, even if your favorite routes are temporarily inaccessible. The main thing is to know the places. We have collected five unusual points on the map of Russia, in which it is worth visiting to gain strength, restore resources and rejoice in spring.
Perm Territory, Kungur
Get into another world
Visit the famous caves of the Perm Territory: there are about 720! Of course, not everyone is equally affordable and safe. Therefore, we recommend starting acquaintance with a proven option. The most popular and beloved by tourists of all ages is the Kungur cave.
Here you can choose a tour for every taste and have a great time: admire stalactites and stalagmites, sparkling icy crystals and underground lakes with transparent water, which reflects overhanging rocks. This is the only gypsum cave in the world, according to which mass excursions are driven. Without a guide, it is dangerous here, and dressing, going here, costs warmer (there is always a minus temperature). The conductor will tell you about the most important and interesting and will lead you through the grottoes, turning on and turning off the backlight on time. Local guides love to scare tourists with sinister stories about who allegedly stayed here forever. However, remember that the walls and ceilings of the Kungur cave are reliably fortified and completely safe.
They say that there, in the depths, some metamorphoses occur in the mind. Everything seen resembles the scenery for the film about other planets or parallel worlds. Some tourists claim that the cave clears thoughts well, so you come out of it with a completely different person. So or not, you can only make sure from your own experience. In any case, the sensations promise the most incredible.
The cost of a tour of the cave is from 1,400 rubles for an adult.
Kungur also has something to do. The cost of a sightseeing tour of the city is from 2000 rubles from the group. Inspect local attractions and shrines, take a walk on the cobblestone bridge, visit the Ermaka Estnopark (entrance ticket from 50 rubles), the Karst and Speleology museum, learn about Kungur hospitality and dissolve for a short while in a special atmosphere of a cozy provincial town.
How to get
The cave is 100 km from Perm, in the village of Kungur. The minimum cost of a ticket from Moscow to Perm in April is 2800 rubles. The flight will take 2 hours.
It is not difficult to get here from the capital of the Perm Territory: a suburban train from the Perm-2 station or from the bus station by bus. You can also rent a car.
Where to stop
Set in Perm, for example, at the Siberian Tourist Hotel (from 3400 rubles per night) and combine a trip to the caves with a city examination. If you are limited in time, go immediately to Kungur and stay at Hotel Bashnya (from 3400 rubles) or Hotel Iren (from 2000 rubles).
Adygea, Guzeriple
Get lost on the edge and find a landmark
No artistic exaggerations. The mountain village of Guzeripl is indeed located on the very edge of the Caucasian reserve in the Maykop district of the Republic of Adygea. Then only thick forests, alpine meadows and majestic mountains. You can come here because of the name alone. Translated from Adygea, Guzeriple is a “way along the way”. And sometimes each of us lacks him.
Once upon a time, it was here that the path leading to the sea passed here, and it became a guide for travelers. Now the road has been preserved and turned into a tourist one. It is comfortable and interesting to walk even the youngest travelers.
The small settlement has a rich history. Over almost a hundred years of his existence, he managed to appear, bloom, fall into decay and revive as a direction for lovers of beautiful calm travels.
There are many reasons to visit this place. Guzeriple is located at an altitude of 670 meters above sea level, on the left bank of the Belaya River, according to which local lumberjacks used to be fused down. If you go up the river, you can see waterfalls and many beautiful landscapes. Through the bridge from the village is the famous Caucasian reserve (entrance is paid, an adult ticket costs 300 rubles, and children’s – 150 rubles).
Also, ancient dolmens, one of the largest over four thousand years, have been preserved in these parts!
In the mountainous regions of Adygea, nature is practically not touched by man. The feeling of time is slightly blurred. It turns out to dissolve and stay alone with their thoughts: here, on top, they become quieter and calmer. Mountains are able to create the right atmosphere. And the alpine meadows in the spring are an completely amazing, meditative sight.
There are also many waterfalls. Some can be found if you go along the Belaya or Sakhrai rivers, and to others, for example, Rufabgo, Mishoko or Kutanka River waterfalls, it is better to plan a separate trip.

At the moment, by plane to Sochi (the average price is from 6500 rubles). From there by train (from 700 rubles) or a bus (from 900 rubles) to Krasnodar and further through the Maykop or the village of Kamennomsky to Guzerip.

Irkutsk region, Cape Hoba
Catch an echo, look into grottoes and find a source of power
This place is not only surprisingly beautiful, but also mystical. Cape Hoba is the northern point of Olkhon Island, located in the widest part of Lake Baikal. According to legend, the owner of the lake lives on the island itself, and shamans are still holding their rites here. Every spring, a colorful Taygan holiday takes place, collecting people from all over the world who consider this place the center of the Earth.
Also Olkhon appears to lovers of meditation. Everyone who finds it here, notes his incredible energy. One of the most mysterious corners of the island is Cape Hoba. This is a whole complex of unusual rocks covered with bright lichen, intricate holes and cracks. He is also a place of power for those who are passionate about esoteric. In the western part of the cape, for example, there is a shamanic place.
An interesting legend is connected with the cape. If you look at it from the water, the outlines will seem like a female figure, for which it is often called “maiden”. They say that this is a petrified Buryat girl, punished by spirits for her anger and envy. And in order to sprinkle it, you need to try very hard for us all. The Virgo will come to life again, as soon as destructive thoughts and feelings cease to exist on Earth.
It is from the cape that the sheer tectonic rock, which goes directly into the small sea, is clearly visible. Below on the coast there is a through cave, branching deep into the mountain. And a little north you can see and take a picture of the through arch overlooking the island.
Another interesting feature is this: almost any sound made on a cape or nearby is given a long echo. This is all due to the monolithic cliff located here.
Nobody remained indifferent to the bearing. Everything is collected here: ancient fairy tales, the secrets of the universe, vivid sensations and, of course, the pristine natural beauty. This place cleanses consciousness great, makes it possible to concentrate on the most important and truly re-settled.

It is surrounded by relict forests and a half -ring of the Caucasian mountains, which protect Dolinsk from wind and rains. There is a soft climate, so the weather is good at any time of the year.

In the local park there are fabulous towers. For example, you can even climb the tower of lovers.
On the mountain of Malaya Kizilovka there is an observation deck Sosruko. It is most interesting to get to the cable car. The chairs slide above the lake – beautifully and slightly exciting.

Vladimir region
Revived canvases, pouring into the meadow and sunsets
Spring floods are quite popular among artists, the plot that inspired many famous painters. Levitana, for example. If you want to see these landscapes with your own eyes, we advise you to visit the Vladimir region. It is in April that the most beautiful time begins there. In the Bogolyubovsky meadow around the legendary white -stone church of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, two rivers are found: Nerl and Klyazma.
During the spill, the rivers come out of the flourishing shores, enclosing the temple into the ring. And nature really resembles a revived picture.
The most interesting begins at sunset. The domes of the temple are reflected in water painted with sunlight. We recommend taking with you if not a canvas, then at least a camera. After all, you will definitely want to capture all this for memory.
In addition to natural beauty, there are other attractions. Be sure to visit the cover on the ner – one of the most iconic and beautiful temples of Russia. It stands on a small hill and has one interesting architectural feature: the walls are tilted slightly inward, so that the building seemed higher. In the rays of the sunset sun, the temple looks completely different. And this church is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Nearby is the Holy Bogolyubsky Convent, open to tourists. It is located on the territory of the Palace Zamka, painted in white and white tones and looks truly fabulous. In these places you feel calm and peaceful. Here I do not want to rush anywhere, you can just relax and fill up with the power of this place.
