Mount Maura. It is located a few kilometers from the small town of Kirillov. This is a holy place. It was here that the Monk Cyril, who was going to these remote places from Moscow, had a vision about which he told his companion, the monk Ferapont. From the top of the mountain, the monks saw the site of the foundation of the future Kirillo-Belozersky monastery. At the end of the 14th century, these places were an important crossroads of major waterways connecting the Volga, Northern Dvina and Volkhov. Moscow and the Novgorod Republic were then rivals. Therefore, the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, founded by the Monk Kirill, was also an outpost of Moscow lands on the border with Novgorod.
These places are known far beyond Russia. In summer, numerous tourists arrive by boat along the Sheksna River to the village of Goritsy. During the navigation period, the pier of a small village receives more than two hundred thousand tourists from all over the world.
Here, surrounded by picturesque nature, a priceless heritage is preserved, which we admire and are proud of - the history and traditions of the Russian North.
