A little further from the “White Keys” is the park—museum “Ethnomir”, where you can get acquainted with the architecture, life and traditions of different nationalities.
Yoga classes are held at the recreation center in a cozy hall, and retreats are periodically organized for several days. For a complete reboot — after meditations and practices — you can warm up in a wood-burning bath and soak in a vat of flower petals. And here you can have a nice time on the local beach and swim in the purest river.
