If your trip takes place in the second half of summer, you will be able to get acquainted with the activity that allowed ancient people to survive in the taiga - gathering. Forests generously give local residents their riches - mushrooms, berries, nuts and medicinal plants. Pay attention to the taiga cedar - this unique plant has fed and continues to feed the inhabitants of Siberia for many centuries.

You should definitely visit a real Russian bathhouse. It invigorates and revitalizes, gives strength and instantly improves well-being. At your choice - brooms made of oak, birch and various coniferous species. Don't miss the opportunity to leave the steam room and dive into the chilling coolness of the taiga river. Natural kvass or tea in a warm dressing room is especially tasty after this.
