Lukhovitz cucumber

If you appreciate and understand the natural beauty of our region, then this tour is for you. It is a very beautiful land, with free floodplain Oka, whose fertility rivals the fertility of the Nile Delta. Here before the revolution of 1917 there were noble hay, as the floodplain was famous for herbs, but this land received its popularity today because of excellent harvests of cucumbers, which have no analogues in Russia. The names of many famous people in history are associated with this place. This is Count Mikhail Tolstoy, Lieutenant General Lev Izmailov, Nikolai Ogarev. The writer Alexander Kuprin worked and rested in these places. The wide popularity of the Lukhovitsky district contributes to a number of remarkable monuments of history and architecture: The Kazan Church in the village of Sushkovo (18th century), the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin (17th century), the white-stone Trinity Church (17th century). In 12 km from Lukhovits, in the village of Dedinovo, under the father of Peter 1 Alexei Mikhailovich, the first Russian warship "Eagle" was built. Here, on the first state ship, the colors of the Russian tricolor were first announced. Therefore, Dedinovo is the homeland of the Russian State Flag! The city of Lukhovitsy, long deprived of wide popularity because of the aircraft factory (produced by MIGs), has many interesting sights: the monument to the Postman Pechkin, the monument to the Cucumber, its historical and art museum, and exhibits of military equipment are directly under the open sky: the T-55 tank, the L-29 jet aircraft, the howitzer of the 1943 model, etc. I suggest you learn more about this region, its history, visit the Cucumber Museum, take a photo of the only cucumber monument in Russia, and of course take with you the noble Lukhovitsky cucumbers!
