Just a couple of hours' drive from Moscow is hidden a blessed, wonderful and simply giving joy place - the Gremyachy spring waterfall. According to the legend, the springs located on the steep bank of the Vondigi River between the villages Vzgllyadnevo and Lyapino were opened thanks to the prayer of Sergius of Radonezh. This event is marked by a wooden chapel in the name of the saint. It is under the chapel of the crevice that three powerful jets flow down the chute downwards.

The waterfall, which is more like a mountain river, attracts pilgrims from all around. Most come here with hefty flasks to collect pure holy water. A lot of courageous people are dipped in the Sergievsk curative spring, for them a log font was put here.

The opulent nature of our cozy Middle strip, the cleanest, frost-baked, spring water (only 6 ° C whiskers), light faces of pilgrims, as well as log fonts and a smart temple - that's what you can see on one of the most famous sources in the suburbs.

In the summer and on a warm autumn-spring day on the way back, it's worth stopping on Torbeevsky Lake, where you can drive through the village of Slotino, which is on the other side of the "betonki" (route A108)
