Chernogubovo on the Tvertsa

• Chernogubovo lies on the Tvertsa.
• ARTCHERNOGUBOVO 2025 took place on July 26 and 27 in the village of Chernogubovo, in Kalininsky District of Tver Oblast.
• The festival program included music, dance, yoga, theater, talks, guided tours, workshops, and an open mic.

Its location on the Tvertsa places Chernogubovo geographically. This lets you take the location of an individual accommodation into account when choosing, rather than relying only on the place name.

The two-day ARTCHERNOGUBOVO festival took place on July 26 and 27, 2025, in the Chernogubovo art district. The program included dance, jazz and rock music, as well as yoga, fashion, and theater. Contributions by artists and poets, talks, guided tours, and workshops complemented the stage and movement events; there was also an open mic. This mix shaped the festival edition, bringing together music, movement, performing arts, and original spoken-word contributions. It places the cultural event firmly in the summer of 2025 without anticipating a date for another edition.

In Tver Oblast, the Central Forest Nature Reserve offers guided tours along the ecological trails “Tayny Okovskogo lesa” and “Lesnaya azbuka.” The educational trail “Boloto Staroselskiy mokh” runs through a raised bog with broad, open areas completely covered in moss, as well as unusual plants. Visitors use their own vehicle for an excursion to the “Staroselskiy mokh” raised bog.

Another option in Tver Oblast is a hike to the “Barsuchikha” ranger station. It can be done as a day trip or with an overnight stay in a forest cabin. Along the way, you can see southern taiga forest and a raised bog. These nature experiences therefore differ both in format and in how much time they require: the excursion to the raised bog is specified as requiring your own vehicle, while the hike to the ranger station can include an overnight stay.

The visitor center on the grounds of the central estate in Tver Oblast also provides information about the organization’s history and structure, a regular exhibition of children’s artwork, and a souvenir shop. The Central Forest Nature Reserve’s natural history museum presents the protected area’s main ecosystems and the species that live there; one room is dedicated to scientific research.

In Torzhok, Verkhneye gorodishche is located in the historic center. This archaeological monument is of federal significance and is a tourist attraction in the city. Also in Torzhok is Novotorzhskiy Borisoglebskiy monastyr, founded in 1038 and counted among Russia’s oldest Orthodox monasteries. The festivals “Blin s Pripyokom” and “Kuzminki v Torzhke” are held annually at Novotorzhskiy kreml; no specific dates are given.

Another cultural focus in Tver Oblast is Nilova Pustyn on Stolobny Island. The monastery is considered a center of religious and pilgrimage tourism. Together, these places showcase different aspects of the region’s cultural offerings: archaeological heritage and monastic history in Torzhok, and religious pilgrimage destinations on Stolobny.
