Summer in Moscow is especially hard - stuffiness, smog, heat. Therefore, on weekends or on vacation, you so want to get out somewhere far away from this bustle, hot concrete and exhaust gases, closer to nature, water and forest. The easiest option is to go to some lake, because it is very far to go to the sea, and it makes sense only for a long time. In addition, there are such a large number of vacationers from all over the country on the Black Sea coast that lovers of a relaxing holiday will hardly like it. Much better to be in some quiet place.
One of these places is Lake Sebezh in the Pskov region, near the border with Belarus. 600 km to go, of course, is also not a dipped beam, but if Seliger or Valdai are fed up, then it's time to go to Sebezh, given that it is not that much further than the more popular lakes. And from St. Petersburg, it's generally only 450 km to get there..
What can you do on the lake? In fact, such a question is not even faced by those who live in big cities. As a rule, you just want to relax and do nothing. However, for those who prefer active rest, there are activities here. We are talking about hunting, fishing, hiking and trekking, water sports. In terms of housing, you will not experience any inconvenience either. At your service is the Kaponovo guest house, where anyone will feel at home. The house has several bedrooms and is perfect for families or families with children. And in the case of a savage vacation, you can stay in a tent city, or just in a tent somewhere on the shore or in the forest..
Sebezh National Park is located near Lake Sebezh, one of the few places for ecological tourism. The purest drainless lakes, virgin nature, unique lake and forest landscapes. Some of the park's plants are listed in the Red Book. Where else can you feel alone with nature, if not in a protected area? And lovers of historical sights will be able to walk along interesting routes, see traces of ancient cultures and archaeological sites.
