Options range from spending time at the beach and playing volleyball to renting a boat or catamaran. If you want to make any of these activities a firm part of your plans, check availability before your visit.

Another option on the water is a trip along the Syzran, which can begin at the Kanadey, Novospasskoye, Koptevka or Repyovka railway stations. So the possible starting point is not limited to Novospasskoye. If you are planning this trip, check its current availability as well.

The Spaso-Preobrazhensky Church is located at the entrance to Novospasskoye. Its cornerstone was laid on June 5, 1995, and the church’s seven bells were installed in October 2004. Together, they weigh more than half a tonne.

These dates mark two events separated in time: the laying of the cornerstone and the later installation of the bells. For visitors interested in culture, the local history includes both a specific date and a distinctive detail about the church’s bells.
