Drenevo

The archaeological site “Stoyanka v ustye reki Pokshi 3” dates to the 5th millennium BC and lies 0.4 km east-southeast of Drenevo. A burial mound cemetery dating from the 12th to the early 13th century lies 1.2 km southwest of the village. Both sites are in the immediate vicinity of Drenevo.

They date to widely separated periods: one site dates to the 5th millennium BC, while the burial mound cemetery dates to the 12th to early 13th century. This places very different historical periods side by side. Their locations also differ: the sites are situated in different directions from Drenevo.

The state nature reserve “Kologrivskiy les” in Kostroma Oblast comprises two separate areas. They preserve different landscapes of the southern taiga, with zonal and provincial physical-geographical characteristics. The description thus connects the preservation of expansive landscapes with distinctive geographical features.

In the nature reserve, the “Puteshestvie v zapovednyy les” tour is part of a visit to the ecological trail of the same name. The trail passes through a section of old-growth southern taiga forest. Check the tour’s arrangements before your trip.

Shchelykovo in Kostroma Oblast is the estate of Russian playwright Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky. Guided tours of the park and A. N.

At the Susanino Local History Museum, exhibits in five halls tell, in turn, the story of the nature, archaeology, history, culture, and everyday life of the Susanino region. The renewed exhibition “Na perekryostke istorii i legendy” preserves Ivan Susanin and Savrasov’s “The Rooks Have Arrived” as themes of importance to the region. These two focal points offer different ways to explore the region’s subjects.

In Kostroma, “Kostromskaya sloboda” features historic wooden houses and churches, as well as ethnographic exhibitions about the lives of peasants in the Kostroma region. The Museum of Dreams in Nerekhta tells the city’s history through the life stories of people who dared to dream big; original memorabilia bring these stories to life. The permanent exhibition at the Museum of Nature in Kostroma presents present-day animals, birds, insects, and fungi alongside the paleontological past of the Kostroma land.
