This is the name of the graveyard between Osokorskaya and Peschanitsa villages, which are located in the Kotlas district of the Arkhangelsk region near the river Northern Dvina.
Here before was a bush of Votlozhma villages.
This place can not be found right away! On the map it seems easy, but in fact it was necessary to go through the gorge in the literal sense! I ran to catch the sunset light.
The car was left in the village of Osokorskaya and walked along a narrow path between huge slopes down.
Such gorges are formed as a result of the influence of a stream or a shallow river on the ground.
In this place, one can see the effect of several streams, one of which is active.
After descending and crossing the stream, it is necessary to climb a very steep and long climb.
While standing was taking breath, I did not notice how the domes of the church of Archangel Michael were looking at me from behind a hill.
The church stands on a high hill on the banks of the river channel of the Northern Dvina. A hundred meters from the church, in the forest there is a cemetery. Traces, by the way, are very similar to wolves...
You can not get to the church - snow to the waist! I'll leave this venture for the summer.
Even the fence can not be seen, but in fact it is almost a meter high!
The path leads to the neighboring village of Peschanitsa. Near the trail are traces similar to the wolf bed. It becomes creepy, from this you begin to look around more often.
The reconnaissance showed that the list of places to go to in the summer was supplemented with one more place. And intelligence showed that you can also travel in winter, but you need hunting skis.
The last look at the church on the way back.
I wanted to try to get to the steep bank and climb up, but then fell to the waist. Well, I knew that it would not work, but I still tried...
In the summer, these ravines will be extraordinarily beautiful, I promise!
March until the last moment gives the opportunity to travel with their frosts. Soon there will come a period of time when even from the yard it is unlikely to get out...
I found a new hobby for myself to collect interesting places (these are places where you want to return) - Votlozhemskiy Gorodok replenished this collection.
