Mount Imantau approaches the village from the south, and Lake Imantau splashes from the west - clean, cool, with transparent water and sandy shores. In the morning, a light fog rises over the lake, and in the evening the whole village freezes to the sounds of crickets. The outskirts of the village are a real paradise for hiking, picking mushrooms and berries, fishing and leisurely rest. In the forests you can meet roe deer, hares, foxes. In the spring, tulips and primroses bloom, in the summer the greenery comes to life in all its glory, and in the fall - everything is painted gold and crimson.

If you stay here for even a day, you will feel how everything unnecessary is released - and only the present remains.
