๐ŸŽ„The holiday season is coming! On New Year's Eve, we tell you where to go on New Year's vacation.

๐Ÿ“ŒTeriberka village, Murmansk region

The atmospheric settlement gets a lot of snow. It's worth seeing old ships and reindeer at the farm there, try sea urchins at any cafe on the shore.
โœจYou can buy jam and tinctures from cloudberries and lingonberries from locals, and fish and scallops from fishermen. But most importantly, if you are lucky, you can celebrate the New Year under the northern lights.

๐Ÿ“ŒPerm Region

In winter, the region is considered one of the most beautiful. Trees are covered with snow and frost, and on Mount Polyud they are pressed to the ground.
โ„๐ŸŒฌIn the Ural Mountains you can ride snowmobiles among frosty rocks and snowy forests. You can also get to the Pillar Grotto - a cave-permit for ancient people. Here you can enjoy a picturesque view of nature.

๐Ÿ“ŒKostroma

๐ŸŽ…The residence of Grandfather Frost is located in Veliky Ustyug, and the house of Snow Maiden - in the cozy town of Kostroma. During New Year's time, residents of different parts of the country tend to come here. Here also lives Snow Maiden's assistant - snow-white cat Stepan Timofeyevich, who welcomes guests without days off and lunch breaks!
Around the main Christmas tree of the city, on Susaninskaya Square, festive events, concerts and fireworks are held.

๐Ÿชจ Tavda caves are one of the most visited places in Altai. The caves are more than 1 million years old. Archeologists' findings show that people lived here during the Iron and Bronze Ages. Let's tell you why you should visit this spectacular place.

We advise you to start with the most popular cave โ€” Bolshaya Tavdinskaya, which is also called "Maiden's Tears". This romantic name is explained by the fact that even during the dry summer you can see streams of water flowing down the walls here.

๐ŸŒณ From the Big Cave it is possible to get to other caves through numerous tunnels and passages.

The second most popular cave in the complex is called "Tavdinskaya-2". From the upper part of the stone caves there is an exit to the observation deck, from which you can enjoy the view of the Katun River and the mountains.

๐Ÿž It is also necessary to visit the Talda Karst Arch, located at a height of 80 meters. This arch is a part of a collapsed cave. This natural monument is considered magical: according to legend, if you walk around the arch pillar three times clockwise, any wish will come true.
