Talab

Perhaps the most fascinating excursion, which combines a trip to the holy places and a tourist hike.
The priority is your choice. The Talab Islands are located in the waters of Lake Pskov consist of three islands. Talabsk, Talabenets, Upper. And we're excited to go.

Option 1. We start from Pskov by bus to the small village of Tolba, from it by boat to the island of Talabsk. 20 minutes and we're on target.

Option 2. Directly from the Pskov Krom we go to the water of the Great River to the islands for 45 minutes (this is a little more expensive).

On the embankment of Alexander Posad on Talabsk Island I will tell the history of the island, local legends and about the life of fishermen. By pre-order, you can buy the freshest smoked fish.

On the island all roads lead to the temple of St. Nicholas, in which, carefully kept a rare miraculous image of the Most Holy Mother of God “The Holy Heaven”. In this temple for more than 40 years served as a visionary elder Archpriest Nikolai Guryanov. After his death, he left a will to help people as well as during his lifetime. Let us bow down to his tomb, visit the tiny house where Father lived for many years.

By boat we go to the Upper Island to the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, where in 1470 Prep. Dositheus founded a monastery for men. In the subchurch in the 90s of the 20th century, an underground temple was discovered, in which the relics of the elder rest (an amazing energy there). Ask him for what is hidden and you will find it. Prep Dosifei helps couples who are desperate to give birth to a baby, soothes the soul and heart.

After spiritual food, we go hiking through the relict forest in the valley of glacial stones. A stop on the glade is strictly mandatory with interesting stories and tea from local herbs. If we're lucky, we'll see the gray herons.

Spectacular photos are guaranteed. Time to get home. The boat will take you to the Great Land.

Flavored tea from island herbs.
