Rural homesteads
In the Kaliningrad region, an unusual type of tourism is actively developing, rural tourism, or as it is also called country- or farm-style. Rural tourism is considered a kind of eco-tourism. It is an ideal option to have a rest in the countryside for those who are tired of the city noise, monotonous work and the frantic pace of our today’s life. The main thing in rural tourism is to communicate with nature, which we usually lack so much. It allows you to temporarily put aside stress, and feel refreshed, rejuvenated and full of energy. During this leisure, you can fish, go hunting, go horse riding, ride a bike and walk around. In the evening, you may like to sit by the fire or fireplace, sing with your friends to a guitar, sleep in the hayloft at night or take a subtle course of herbal therapy by putting a pillow of mint, St. John’s wort or chamomile under your head. Travelling to remote areas to watch the nature, rare birds and animals in their habitat attracts the fans of ‘quiet hunting’ with a camera. Not far from the village of Chistye Prudy, in the favourite leisure place of the Prussian rulers and the German nobility, there are picturesque country estates, the hospitable hosts of which are happy to welcome everyone who wishes to be on a real peasant farm among the pristine nature.
