The city of Veliky Ustyug (Velikoustyugsky district of Vologda region)

Veliky Ustyug is the birthplace of Russian grandfather Frost. Here really lives a fairy tale, giving children joy, taking adults for a while to the country of dreams and fantasies, when the world around seemed so beautiful! Want to bring back those forgotten feelings? Just plan a trip to Ustyug!

In addition to the patrimony of the winter wizard, located in the middle of a pine forest, the current district center is no less interesting. This is the coldest northeastern city of the Vologda region. The illusion of the presence of snow here is felt all year round: in winter the snow is natural, and in the warm season the white zakomars of temples create a similar picture, looking through the green foliage. Ancient streets and monasteries, wooden houses... Along with priceless expositions, museums touching the deep strings of the soul are open, among them the Museum of Christmas toys. The Great Ustyug silver rabble received a world assessment, products in this technique for every taste are produced today at the art crafts enterprise.
