Museum Yasnaya Polyana - Tolstoy's estate on a sunny winter day.
After the city of Mtsensk We stopped at the Yasnaya Polyana Museum - Tolstoy's estate. I drove past her so many times, but this time I thought, stop procrastinating!
Such people did not live anywhere, so Tolstoy's estate is really a manor, a large allotment of land, birch and pine forests, several mansions, a stable, large and small ponds, all kinds of different buildings for ordinary people. So that I live like this!
It is better, of course, to go to the Yasnaya Polyana Museum not in winter, but in summer, and not for an hour, but for the whole day, taking food and a good mood with you. The large territory is conducive to a long rest in the shade of birch and pine alleys, next to the coolness of a cascade of ponds. In winter, it is also good there, but walks along secondary paths covered with snow are slightly limited. We were lucky with the weather, and it was warm enough, despite the blinding snow around. Blue sky and green pines against the background of the houses of Tolstoy and Volkonsky, beauty! On weekdays there were few people, which was also very pleased.

Moreover, you can go inside the museum buildings only with a guide. Therefore, if without ordering an excursion, then it is only to walk in the park and admire nature, inspect the huts from the outside, and go to Tolstoy's grave. We actually did just that. We just took a walk and we liked it.
