Province from the provinces, hole hole, well, just the village and the "bear corner" . In short, the edge in which the soul sings . Surprisingly, Vesyegonsk not only does not make you sad, as, alas, hundreds of settlements in our vast territory , but rather vice versa . It gives us hope that there is still love for the homeland, respect for the diligence of local people and carefully preserved traditions, and also ineradicable sympathy - for nothing, especially for everything at once . For example, for the clean , even in slushy times, streets, for a touching museum of local lore, for an amazing wine where the statues of the ancient Roman gods are interspersed with modern Italian equipment ...
In short, the town, in which only 7,5 thousand inhabitants, located in the north of the Tver region and the Rybinsk reservoir, surrounded by dense forests and water, gives so many surprises that even the experienced tourist will be amazed.

How to get there
The city stands on the coast of the Rybinsk Reservoir, 253 km from Tver and 437 km from Moscow. By car, the city can be reached via the P-84 (Tver - Bezhetsk - Vesyegonsk - Ustyuzhna). It should be borne in mind that the road is far from in the best condition, so it will be a pity to have a good car with a low landing.
On a public transport it's getting dreary, but it's possible: from the pristine at Sapsan to Tver, then by taxi to Vesyegonsk . It is possible and by bus, but the route is uncomfortable, with transplants.

A paragraph of history
There are two opinions about the origin of the name. In one of them it is said about the phrase "all the Yiddish", that is "all on the river Egne", but, as we know, the word "all" from Old Russian means "village" or "settlement". The second version, which is more adhered to by local residents - Finno-Ugric. Say all - this is an ancient tribe, and "Ego" in their language meant water.
The first mention of the village of All-Egonskaya refers to 1564, although the local historian Boris Kuptsov assumes the date of 1447, and the local specialist Svetlana Ershova mentions the remains of the wooden rooks that are found in the nearby marshes of Vesyegonsk. Until 1764, the settlement is listed as the Simonov Monastery in Moscow, in the 16th century, there are noisy fairs where wax, hops, honey, salt, fish and caviar are sold.
By 1803 Vesyegonsk became a traditional supernumerary town of the Tver province ("zastatny", by the way, by the definition of Brockhaus - "a village with the morals of the city, but without a county"). But in the 18-19th centuries the city flourishes, here again there are cheerful bazaars, two of which - the Epiphany and Epiphany Fairs - are considered one of the largest on the territory of the Russian Empire.
In Soviet times, the city was half flooded, the old center had to be moved as much as half a kilometer, fortunately, it did not spoil the cozy Vesyegonsk.

Fishing
The city, stretched on the banks of the clean and beautiful Rybinsk reservoir, simply can not help being famous for its fishing. Vesyegonsk that direct confirmation. Pisces here - are flooded, it is caught phenomenally, and the wealth of the catch is not able to list even local experts. They say that there is roach, pike, pike perch, burbot, perch, crucian, catfish. The catching period is the whole year round, you can rent and tackle, and the boat.
Entertainment, excursions and sightseeing Vesyegonska
In Vesyegonsk there are four worthy attractions, not counting the beautiful nature and cozy city center. Namely: two churches, a local history museum and a winery. We'll start with the museum.
Local History Museum of Vesyegonsk
As a rule, local lore museums of provincial towns catch up with depression and allergy with their dusty halls, but this is not the Vesegonsk Museum! The collection of this bright, cheerful wooden house, painted with lilac paint, is really interesting .There are beautifully designed stands, lots of interesting details from the life of the city, a worthy exposition .What you can see: pot-bellied samovars, exotic gramophones, traditional whole vyegonskuyu embroidery, posters, photographs and even the ancient English typewriter Smith Premier .In general, the museum is devoted to the history of the city, more precisely its old, flooded part .
Children in the museum read Russian fairy tales, show the ancient floor gusli and acquaint them with the exhibition of the Museum of Cancer (an analog of the Mouse Museum in Myshkin). The local heraldic arthropod is represented here, it would seem, in all forms, forms and angles, but museum staff relentlessly replenish the collection.
Address: st. Karl Marx (the home of the former merchant Loginov). The cost of visiting 20 RUB, children, schoolchildren and students 10 RUB. Excursions for groups of up to 30 people 250 RUB, for schoolchildren - 150 RUB.
The Kazan Church
The noticeably shabby ruins of the Kazan temple on Sokolova Hill are still very picturesque, even without the majestic domes. This church was built for a long 19 years, from 1792 to 1811, it was much quicker to break down and turn it into ruins: already in 1930 the temple was closed, and there was unfortunately no money to restore it since then.
And yet the once impressive building with the features of classicism and baroque makes an impression. Especially in the ensemble with the Trinity Church, which was built side by side with Kazan in 1868. The elegant temple ensemble for a long time towered above the old Vesegonsky, and did not even go under the water along with the rest of the city, and all thanks to a good location.
Trinity Church
The Trinity Church was lucky little bit more: it was also closed in 1930, in 2000 it was returned to believers, covering with a new roof and installing a tiny head on top, but the building was recognized as emergency and closed.
Winery
It's amazing how in the north of Russia could think of creating a winery, which simply does not appear separately from the sun-drenched vineyards of Taman or the Crimea? And if you still think about producing in the Tver deafness some "cranberry" or other tincture, then the wine does not fit into the local landscape at all. Meanwhile, in 2014 the Vesyegonsky winery celebrated its 100th anniversary.
And the idea of creating such an enterprise here belongs to the merchant Efremov, who in 1914 rented a piece of land from the city council and built a factory. He started, logically, with cranberries (juices and cranberry extracts), and finished on fruit-berry wine.
Today, Italian equipment has been installed here, a modern design was invented for bottles, creating, as the local people say, "a new generation of wine." Local raisins - cranberry wine "Flirtini" and port "3 Seven", which in the view does not need. Try and, of course, you can buy another bottle in the tasting room.
