As a Shakespearean sonnet,
You sound high -
White and blue.
Along with matryoshkas, balalaikas and the Kremlin, the blue pattern of Gzhel is one of the most recognizable symbols of Russia. Probably, we do not have a house in our house where there is no jar or a small porcelain toy, there is no family where a thing with bright blue painting on a snow-white background is not passed from generation to generation.
Symbol does not appear from nowhere, it is created by hands just 60 km from Moscow, in the once small village of Gzhel, which has now become the largest center of Russian ceramics.
It is curious that when you go on a trip to the homeland of Russian ceramics, you do not go "In Gzhel", and "in Gzhel" - and nothing else!

How to get there
Getting to Gzhel is easy, it is located not so far from the capital. The most convenient and informative way is to go to Gzhel with an excursion. The trip will take about an hour and a half, during which you will be told interesting facts about the places that remain "behind the stern."
If you are on your own, you can use the train that goes to the station of the same name from the Kazan railway station. In Gzhel buses run from the metro station "Vykhino" (number 325). The bus goes along Egorievskoe highway, on it you can reach the village by car.
Entertainment
Gzhel retained its ancient color, so the most colorful and interesting entertainment here is the celebration of Russian holidays. Gzhel is especially good in winter when sledding is organized here for guests.

Gzhel Plant
The production of the famous porcelain is the basis of Gzhel's life. It is not surprising that a visit to the plant is a mandatory item of the program of any guest of the village.
Here you can get acquainted with the process of making ceramics (after all, every Gzhel thing is handmade!), Learn the difference between factory and piece, workshop production, something in the spirit of the sky-blue craft.
The museum can be visited only by appointment. The cost of the tour depends on its composition (with the master class or not) and the number of participants, and the price is increased by 50 rubles on weekends. The maximum cost for one excursion is 450 rubles
You can order the excursion by phone of the excursion department: + 7-906-055-23-57 (Natalia), or it will be issued at your travel agency.
The Holy Source of the Icon of the Theodore Virgin of God
In the people this source is called Kunai-well and connect with it a huge number of beliefs, but first of all this place is ideal for those who seek peace and beauty.
Kunai- Well - just like the whole village Gzhel - preserved the spirit of antiquity and purity. There is a comfortable font for those wishing to dive, although there are usually few people here.
You can get here by going around the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, coming to the Gzhel river. Next you need to cross the river, follow the path through the field to the river Karpovka. Again, cross the river, pass by a lonely house, surrounded by a fence and looks like a lodge. Further - along the left bank of the river.
