Sudimirka: Visitor Route and Safaris at the Sudimir Estate

The Sudimir Estate lies on the banks of the Volga. In Sudimirka, a visitor route combines a visit to the grounds of the Sudimir Kremlin and its bell tower with admission to the Deer Museum; safari tours, horseback rides and off-road vehicle trips are also available. This gives visitors different ways to plan a stay—from a visit to the Kremlin grounds to an excursion into a wildlife reserve.

Visitor Route, Museum and Tours

The operator offers a visitor route that includes access to the grounds of the Sudimir Kremlin and its bell tower. Admission to the Deer Museum is also included. Those interested in this route can combine a visit to the Kremlin grounds and tower with a museum visit. Check the current arrangements with the operator before your visit.

Group formats and scheduling arrangements vary for the safaris. Group safari tours to a wildlife reserve with deer are offered on weekends. Private safari tours to a wildlife reserve are available for up to five people; the timing is arranged by agreement. The estate also offers group tours, usually for school groups of 20 children or more. These details are useful when planning: a weekend tour, a privately arranged time and a group tour are different formats. Check current dates with the operator.

The estate also offers horseback rides on horses or ponies by arrangement. Off-road vehicle trips go to a wildlife park with deer; it is advisable to confirm current availability of these excursions with the operator. The activities differ in both how you travel and where you go: safari tours visit a wildlife reserve, while off-road vehicle trips go to a wildlife park. Horseback riding is another distinct way to spend your visit.

If the estate’s visitor route, horseback ride or safari is the main reason for your trip, focus your search for a holiday apartment on Sudimirka. The estate’s location on the banks of the Volga also gives Sudimirka a clear geographic setting; contact the operator directly to confirm times and arrangements for the visitor activities.

More Destinations in Tver Oblast

If you include destinations beyond Sudimirka in your trip to Tver Oblast, you can explore other nature and cultural themes. Guided tours are offered along the ecological trails “Tainy Okovskogo lesa” and “Lesnaya Azbuka” in the Central Forest Reserve. The “Boloto Staroselsky Mokh” educational trail crosses a raised bog with wide open areas completely covered in moss and unusual plants. Visitors use their own vehicles for an excursion to the “Staroselsky Mokh” raised bog.

Another nature route leads to Kordon “Barsuchikha”: the hike can be planned as a day trip or with an overnight stay in a forest cabin. Along the way, you’ll see southern taiga forest and a raised bog. The Central Forest Reserve thus offers both guided trails and a longer hike with two possible time frames.

In Torzhok, Tver Oblast, the focus shifts to history and festivals. Verkhneye Gorodishche is an archaeological monument of federal significance in the historic city center. The Novotorzhsky Borisoglebsky Monastery was founded in 1038 and is one of Russia’s oldest Orthodox monasteries. The “Blin s Pripyokom” and “Kuzminki v Torzhke” festivals are held annually in the Novotorzhsky Kremlin. Nature experiences in the Central Forest Reserve and historical and festive themes in Torzhok thus offer distinct ways to explore Tver Oblast.
