๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™โค๏ธAltai is an unusual region of Russia. There is only one small town in the republic, but there is a lot of amazing nature.

Today, on Altai Day, we will tell you about 5 places that you should visit:

โ›ฐ According to the belief, the Devil's Finger mountain holds great power that can cure infertility and energize. It offers a breathtaking view of the Katun River valley and the entire Altai region.

๐Ÿ There are many types of fish in Teletskoye Lake. The water there is very cold all year round. You can come here as a group or on your own to fish, enjoy the tranquility, and admire the picturesque views. There is also a ski resort nearby where you can enjoy winter activities. There are 5 Multa Lakes, and they are the most popular locations for tourists. These lakes are inhabited by predatory fish such as grayling . Fishing there is not prohibited.

โ›ฐ The Katu-Yaryk Pass is only thirty years old - until 1989 it was a horse trail. Climbing it is scary because of the serpentine. However, from this location you can see colorful mountains, turbulent mountain streams, waterfalls, and centuries-old trees.

โ›ฐ At the confluence of the Chuya and Katun rivers, you can see a picturesque landscape. There, you will find clean water and fresh air. This place is also known as Camel's Neck because the bend of the river really resembles it.

#AmazingRussia Kaliningrad ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™โค

๐ŸฐDo you know where the famous philosopher Immanuel Kant is buried? In the Cathedral in Kaliningrad.

โœ…The Cathedral was founded in the fourteenth century.

โœ…The location in the heart of Kรถnigsberg-Kaliningrad, on the island of Kneiphof destroyed by English aviation in 1944, as well as the memorial burial of Immanuel Kant near the northern wall and the dramatic history of destruction and revival made the Cathedral a symbol of the city, its architectural dominant and the main place of attraction for everyone who comes to Kaliningrad.

โœ…The soil on which the cathedral was built was marshy, and so hundreds of oak poles were put into the ground before the construction of the cathedral could begin. After a relatively short period of almost 50 years, the cathedral was largely completed by 1380, while works on the interior frescoes lasted until the end of the 14th century.

โœ…The walls of the cathedral were painted by unknown artists and representatives of the school of the outstanding German painter Albrecht Dรผrer. There is also a beautiful organ there. In 1718-1721 it was replaced by a more powerful one. Today it is considered the largest in Russia.

โœ…There are Lutheran and Orthodox chapels at the cathedral. There is also an academic concert hall and a museum of Immanuel Kant.

โœ…In addition, the adjacent open-air square regularly hosts music festivals and fairs.
Hundreds of thousands of people visit the cathedral every year.
