River Nerl
Description:
Nerl is a tributary of Klyazma, having a length of 284 kilometers and a total area of 6,780 square kilometers. The river begins near the village of Lychentsy, then flows through the territory of the Yaroslavl, Ivanovo and Vladimir regions. Nerl is not the only river in Russia with this name.
It feeds on the pond in a mixed way, but with a predominance of snow. In the upper reaches, the river flows among hilly banks with coniferous and mixed forests. Closer to the mouth of the reservoir meadows, without forest. The river is currently unnavigable.
On the bank of the river there are the most interesting sights of Bogolyubovo - the former residence of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky and the Church of the Intercession of the Virgin on the Nerli of the XII century. 4 kilometers east of Suzdal on the bank of the river is an ancient architectural ensemble of the village of Kidekshi with the Church of Boris and Gleb of the XII century.
