Russian nature- real treasure

If you like nature and resting outside trip to Russia would be the best choice. Russians love and respect its nature, you will find many parks and forests. Fishing and gathering are one of the central outdoor activities in Russia. From the forest came best meals of traditional Russian cuisine like marinade mushrooms and potatoes, pies, varenia (Russian jam, but very different from European and American).

While your Russia travel you will have a chance to see the beauty of its nature. Mighty century old fir tree, snow-white birches, spring flowers, and beautiful bird songs. It doesn’t matter what time of year you will travel to Russia its nature is amazingly stunning.

During winter time it is white with big white hats on trees and hills made of snow. During spring nature is coming back to life, first spring flowers are coming out of snow, birds are coming back and it looks like they are competing about who will sing the best spring song. At summers nature introduces a full gamma of green and red colors. And when autumn comes there is nothing more beautiful then glorious yellow trees and this special romantic sound of leaves under your steps. You can see it well if you take Russian train that goes all across Russia, from Moscow to Vladivostok. Traveling through the heart of a country you will see great variety of Russian landscapes.

You can write about it for hours, but to show how it really is with my poor words is impossible, nothing can describe it better than your own eyes. It is easy to see how it affects people. One of the facts about Russia is that every Russian poet and others who ever have seen it themselves have written about the beauty of Russian nature.
