After the town of Mtsensk, we stopped at the Yasnaya Museum. Polyana – the estate of Tolstoy. So many times I drove past it, but this just thought, enough to postpone!
Anywhere, such people did not live, so the estate of Tolstoy is really manor, a large plot of land, birch forests and pine, several mansions, stable, large and small ponds, all different buildings for ordinary people. So that I lived!
It is better, of course, to go to the Yasnaya Polyana Museum not in winter, but in summer, and not for an hour, but for the whole day, taking with you food and good mood. A large area has a long rest in the shadows of birch and pine alleys, next to the coolness of the cascade of ponds. In winter, there is also good, but walking along the secondary paths littered with snow. We were lucky with the weather, and it was warm enough, despite the blinding snow around. Blue sky and green pines on the background of the houses of Tolstoy and Volkonsky, beauty! On weekdays, there were few people, which is also very pleased.

Moreover, go inside the buildings of museums is possible only with a guide. Therefore, if without ordering an excursion, then it is only to walk in the park and admire the nature, inspect the hut outside, go to the grave of Tolstoy. We actually did that. Just walked and us liked.
