The Dubna River in these parts has incredibly beautiful hilly banks.
On the river surface, yellow capsules doze.
On the left bank of the Dubna River, a spruce forest is like an enchanted castle.
We must somehow cross over to the opposite bank of the Dubna River.
Here's a great place. A strong current and stones protruding from the water indicate the place of the ford.
We put the belongings in a hermetic bag.
We put on neoprene socks so as not to injure our feet on the stones, and wander down the Dubna River, looking for a flat place on the opposite bank.
We get out on the beach. A 2-meter wall is an evil stinging nettle.
There is nowhere to go. I'm going straight.
Thickets like in the jungle. So to speak, modest.
And when they got out into the open, how good! The river Dubna writes out bends.
Waist-deep, and where shoulder-deep we go through tall grass floodplain meadows to the village of Vaulino.
In the depths of my soul, some kind of peasant gene yearns: how many cows could be pastured, how much hay could be prepared.
And the places around are beautiful, marvelously beautiful. Maybe, . Clouds rise above the hills like snow-white mountains.
I climbed up the hill, turned back to look at the valley of the Dubna River. Here they are, meadows, wild flowers.
Other wildflowers include oregano or forest mint. She has a special, perfumed smell.
Another masterpiece of wildflowers. In the center pink flowers cannabis marshmallow.
Among white clover lilac-blue petals of forest geranium look exquisite.

Firewood lies. In winter, heat the house and bath.
On the western border of the village of Vaulino there is a large reservoir.
Here, the Dmitriyevites packed their things in hermetic bags and sailed to the other side. Daredevils!

I'm going down the road. Cars with summer residents are rushing past. Catching up with an old Ford truck loaded with boards. The driver appears to be a farmer.
- Are you going far? Get in, I'll take you!
Thanks, kind person. But I have to walk.
Views from the hills all around. Dali. Like flying in an airplane.
From Trekhselishchi we are on our way to Small Oak forests.
The name justifies itself, oaks grow around.
Here among the wildflowers is a precious find, a blooming wild rose.

In the twilight of the forest, a young fireweed plays with the sun in bunnies.
In Zapolsky, locals sell mushrooms and chanterelles.
The rain began to fall. Young entrepreneurial guys rushed to cover the furniture they made and put up for sale.
And here are the tourists-Dmitrievtsy appeared. Merry-cheerful.
Only the four-legged tourist was very tired. He came to a stop and collapsed on the asphalt. The fact that the dog is alive is evidenced by the rising and falling belly to the beat of breathing.
