A small city in the Lipetsk region has long earned the glory of "Russian Jerusalem": for more than 150 years it has been the spiritual center of the region and a pilgrimage site for believers from all over the country. So, for example, in the 19th century more than 300 thousand pilgrims visited the holiday of finding the relics of Tikhon Zadonsky, which is a huge figure for such a small town.
In addition, in the city there is the Holy Trinity Tikhonov cue Monastery with its unique cathedral, a few kilometers from the city limits located St. Tikhon's Transfiguration and Borogoditse Tikhon (Tyuninsky) monasteries.

How to get there and where to stay
You can get to Zadonsk along the M4 highway, turning at the sign and moving across the bridge to the left bank of the Don. The cult buildings of the city are visible from a distance, therefore it is rather difficult to pass Zadonsk.
You can stop in the city itself in the eponymous hotel, which is designed for both pilgrims and ordinary tourists. There are several options for accommodation: from a bed for 600 rubles in a four-bed room and a standard room for 2, 5 thousand rubles to "Lux" for 8-10 thousand rubles. Near Zadonsk there are recreation centers "Forrest Park", "Quiet Flows the Don" and others, so if you want, you can also stay there.
The paragraph of history
Zadonsk as a county town appeared in 1779 after the transformation of the settlement of Teshevka that existed at the monastery , and the name he received by location - beyond the river Don . Today Zadonsk is still such a small town with a population of about 10 thousand people, a monastery complex and temples as the main architectural structures . Almost all the Zadon buildings do not exceed two-t ex. floors, and there are also predominantly single-storey rural houses . Against this background, the monastery bell towers and temples look especially majestic and impressive .
- To plunge into the holy spring located next to the Transfiguration Monastery. According to legend, it was dug by Bishop Tikhon Zadonsky himself, who loved seclusion in these places. It is believed that the water in the spring has medicinal properties, strengthens health and cures diseases.
- Try monastic honey, which can be purchased at local shops.
- Visit the pottery workshop and see firsthand how the potters of the Don are doing. Pottery has existed in these parts since ancient times, and some people have preserved the traditions of past generations, continuing to create a variety of pitchers, mugs and other utensils, which can also be bought here.
