Stores

Gorodovikovsk lives at the expense of agriculture. What the producers managed to do - to those residents and enjoy. In the city in abundance of vegetables and fruits, as well as meat and fish. Still, it's not for nothing that tourists come here to hunt.

Gorodovikovsk hotels

To stay in Gorodovikovsk is another entertainment. There are a couple of hotels in the city. One of them is called "Spring" and works in the center. From hotels you should not wait for delights. The main thing is to spend the night, however, with all the necessary amenities.

Saving here is not so much in high esteem - this is the only condition of the hotels. For a day you have to shell out up to 1 thousand rubles. This is a normal price.

2 things to do in Gorodovikovsk:
  1. To go fishing - bites here with a bang. In Kalmykia, everything is fine with fishing. Over the weekend, you can catch a dozen kilos of small pike, perch and carp. It is worthwhile to know in advance where it is possible to catch, but where it is better not to stick. The fact is that local residents are jealous of visiting fishermen. So, in order to avoid conflict, it is better to collect information.
  2. To hunt - in Kalmykia hunting is one of the main ways of meat production, and for tourists - one of the entertainments. Here they hunt hare, fox, wild boar, different birds.

Commercial bases tastefully offer their services. However, you need to be careful: entrepreneurs are ready to go to different tricks, just to lure the client. For example, place unchecked information on the site or upload old photos without telling what is happening in the "fat" places. So, when choosing a base, trust trusted sources and authoritative sites.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions in Gorodovikovska

Several city sights that will help to reveal its essence.

Oak grove

In the last century in Kalmykia was created more than 20 nature monuments of regional significance. One of them is an oak grove located in Gorodovikovsk. The first trees here were planted in 1887.

Today the grove is diligently guarded by local authorities. And the locals appreciate it for the beauty and clean air that produces hundreds of trees

Tantric Monastery of Vladika Zonkava

This Buddhist monastery is the first tantric monastery in Europe. It is consecrated in honor of Lama and preacher Zaonkava

Monastery built for 3 years and opened during the sacred month of Ur Sar. Here are stored Buddhist relics - a piece of the skull of Lama Tsongkhapa and the power of the famous lamas in the form of white balls.

The monastery consists of three levels. On the first floor there is a prayer hall for 150 people, on the second floor there are rooms for the Shadzhin Lama of Kalmykia and the Dalai Lama, on the third there is a retreat room. Retreat is a time devoted to spiritual practice

Church of St. Michael the Archangel

And this is an Orthodox church that stands in the center of the park. He was consecrated in the name of the holy cesarevitch Alexei back in 1914.

After the revolution, the temple was closed and given to the club, and then completely disassembled for building materials. He was rebuilt in the 90s of the last century and consecrated in honor of St. Archangel Michael. The church expanded, a bell tower appeared. In 2008, the construction of a new church in the name of Tsarevich Alexei was also started here

Local History Museum

Usually, the attitude towards local history museums is disdainful for tourists. Especially to copies of small towns. A pier, well there it is possible to see interesting? Boring.

Gorodovikovsk's example is an exception. Interesting materials are collected in the local museum, which tell about the history of the city (earlier - Bashanty settlements), Bolshederbetovsky ulus and Kalmykia. In addition, you can get acquainted with fascinating information about the founder of the settlement of Mikhail Gakhayev and about how the local people survived the Great Patriotic War.

True, the museum works with a floating schedule. To get here, you must agree with the administration in advance.
