"Tver Venice" (2 days)
Description:
Tver - Torzhok - High Volochek
Not in Italy, not in Greece, this wonderful old man. And in Russia there is Venice - the city of Vyshny Volochek!
The abundance of water, smooth lines of granite embankments, the smooth surface of the canals appears before us a living appearance of the High Volochka. Russian Venice, a city on an ancient red tape, the city of seven islands is called the poets Vyshny Volochek. The unique charm is in the leisurely rhythm of architecture, in quiet streets built up with wooden houses with patterned casings.
