Svyatogorsk, like a magnet, attracts me with its beautiful nature, fresh air and spiritual proximity with the highest forces. Here, in the air, it hovers such a peace, that I don't even want to leave this city.
Of course, he is famous for his incredible Lavra, located on the chalk mountains. The territory is very well maintained, many trees and colors. Lavra's excursion will give such spiritual saturation, which is even difficult to describe in words. Here, you can visit the temple, buy icons and other church attributes. There are two special fountains, waving in which you can wash off your sins.
For tourists there is a mini zoo with beautiful peacocks and other exotic animals.
Unforgettable impressions remain visiting the cave in the chalk mountains from the Holy Assumption Temple. These are small tunnels for which you need to move with each other with candles of church in your hands. They can be climbed onto the chalk mountain and in the monastery, admire the wonderful kinds and beauty around.
Next to the monastery, on one of the chalk rocks there is a monument to Artem, views from which just indescribable beauty to the entire Lavra and the entire Svyatogorsk.
The road to Artem, rather long and mountain, you need to have good physical training and comfortable shoes. Here in the middle of the way you can see a wooden slate, an ancient church, which is open to visitors only on holidays. Well, and see the architecture and make a photo, you can on any days.
The air on the grief is as far as fresh, which is very easy to breathe, breathing fresh air with full breasts.
In Svyatogorsk, the Seversky Donets River flows, which separates the city from the Lavra on the two shores, through which the big and beautiful bridge spread.
There are a lot of camps, recreation sites, private hotels where you can stop, whatever you enjoy the local holiday. But in most cases, people come excursion groups to visit the Lavra.
It must be remembered that there is a male monastery here, so the entrance for women is necessarily with a headdress, a long skirt and closed shoulders. Otherwise, go to the territory will not be possible. Although for such visitors, a shop is located nearby, where you can buy the necessary things to enter the Lavra territory.
