May be you still think that real atmosphere of Russia you can feel only in Moscow or St. Petersburg? It's a mistake. If you travel to Smolensk, you'll understand what real Russia is. You'll find there all advantages of our capital without its drawbacks; you'll travel to Russia and feel its atmosphere with provincial charm and originality.
Smolensk Region has a dense river network and many lakes, ponds, bogs, and underground water sources.
Many picturesque lakes, such as Sapsho, Dgo, Balkanovskoe, Rytoe, Lososno, Chistik, Mutnoe, and Akatovskoe are located in the northern part of the region. These lakes formed after the last glaciers retreated. The most famous of these lakes is 6-km-long Lake Sapsho, with its islands and resort village of Przhevalskoe.
The wild landscapes of Russia have inspired writers, mystified poets, fascinated scientists, impressed artists and awed photographers. In Smolensk region nature-lovers will have an opportunity to breathe in the woodland fresh air, to peep into the virgin nature spots of the National Park “Smolenskoye Poozerye”.

For those who prefer a quieter experience, autumn offer magnificent colours, and in the depths of autumn leaves covered landscapes transform Smolensk into the fascinating place to visit.
The brief but glorious months of winter offer an excellent opportunity to experience European Russia in uncrowded peace. Despite plummeting temperatures travel in winter does remain a possibility if properly prepared.
