Uncle Pasha's Dacha

On the Volga, near the city of Staritsa,
Tver region,
between Moscow & St. Petersburg.

Enjoy horse riding? Four gentle home-raised horses and endless trails through woods and hills are waiting for you.

Horse riding lessons can be arranged.

Unspoiled and sparsely populated area.

Inflatable boats available.

Explore miles of catacombs.

Russian conversation practice with true down-to-earth natives.

..And much more..

 

      

 Ample opportunities for hands-on participation.

Ride just about anywhere. No barbed wire fences. "No trespassing" signs are still unknown in this part of the world. If nothing of value grows in the field, you are welcomed to ride across. No time limits. Enjoy your rides within the physical capacity of well-fed and conditioned animals. Many versts of fields and trails through communal land - not something normally found in civilized countries..

Riding lessons are available. They may even be thrown in as a free extra bonus. And yes, I speak semi-decent English that you'll easily understand unless you are from Texas or Australia, or are one of these pretentious British eh, characters.  English teachers too, I find, have trouble with my speech manner. As I do with their thought pattern.  Riding lessons

Car ride from Moscow to Staritsa can be arranged. Staritsa is accessible by bus from Moscow and almost direct train from St. Petersburg.
