Turn into a Snow Maiden, make a wish and breathe in the forest aroma: fairytale Kostroma welcomes guests
At the
RUSSIA EXPO, each region presents itself in a bright and original way. For
example, the Kostroma region "grew" Kologrivsky forest in the
Pavilion No. 75. After all, forests are the main wealth of the region. And
every tree at the exposition hides a lot of interesting things: smells and
sounds of nature, stories about culture and traditions, children's games and
routes for travelers.
The unusual
idea to present the region with the help of an interactive forest was highly
appreciated by the visitors. After all, once you are at the stand, you want to
look into the windows decorated with traditional platbands, find out what
secrets the Kostroma Forest hides, and most importantly, make a wish and take a
photo in an unusual hollow tree.
For those who prefer meditative rest, there is an opportunity to listen to birdsong and enjoy the aromas of the Kologrivsky Reserve.
And shopping lovers will surely appreciate the wonderful jewelry. After all, jewelry is one of the achievements of the region, along with shipbuilding, cheese making, textile and timber industries.
Also, guests of the stand can take pictures of themselves in the guise of the Snow Maiden or Snegurochka. The Kostroma beauty is one of the symbols of the region. By the way, it is in the Kostroma region where you can visit the real Terem of the Snow Maiden. This is a tourist complex dedicated to the heroes of Russian folk tales. Guests are welcomed here by such colorful magical characters as Domovoy, Cat Bayun and the mistress of the terem herself - Snegurochka.
