Golden Ring: the city of Uglich - the city of churches
Where to go in winter? This question I ask myself every time it comes. About a trip with a tent to nature, or about hiking trip out of the question.
Therefore, the most dear to me is in beautiful cities, both near Moscow and at a distance from it. I still can't get myself to Kiev and Minsk, just a night on the train and already there ... Today we are talking about a city that is closer, and included in the non-main list of cities of the Golden Ring - about the city of Uglich.
The city of Uglich is a small town in the Yaroslavl region, with a population of 35 thousand people and located on the banks of the Volga. The city has been mentioned since 937.
Uglich is an ordinary provincial town, in which there is nothing to do for more than one day in winter. But this day can be spent very informative. It is good to include it in the program for the weekend, together with a trip, for example, to Myshkin.
