Vacation with children. How to make the right choice?

If you plan to take a child with you on vacation, this imposes certain restrictions on your trip.
Already from the first steps you will have to take into account that a child is traveling with you. Children do not tolerate the road well, which means your vacation spot should be located near your home.

Holidays with a child on Seliger

For residents of central Russia, a holiday on Seliger is ideal. This lake is located in the Tver region. From Moscow and the regions surrounding the Tver region, you can reach the lake by car in a few hours.
The second important factor that influences the choice of vacation spot is children’s leisure time. If your child gets bored on vacation, then your vacation will be guaranteed to be ruined, so it is important not to make a mistake when choosing a camp site or holiday home.

Camp sites for families with children

Seliger has a large selection of holiday offers, but tourists with children are advised to concentrate on large tourist centers and holiday homes. Such facilities have a large infrastructure and can afford to introduce additional services for guests with children.
Here is the main list of recommended objects:

There are many more worthy options for holidays with children, you can familiarize yourself with them in the catalog of our website.

Entertainment for children

To prevent children from getting bored, hoteliers create playgrounds and all kinds of sports facilities on their premises. These could be places where you can play tennis, volleyball or badminton.
Some tourist centers on Seliger have taken even further steps in the direction of children's entertainment. For example, the Park Hotel “SDL” has a zoo; small children are guaranteed to be delighted. A shooting range is available for teenagers where you can shoot with a crossbow.

Not only children, but also adults will enjoy horseback riding. There are stables in the Konstantinova estate, on Sokol and the Ozernaya recreation center.
To find out whether the camp site provides horseback riding services, go to the private sector catalog on our website and read the list of services in the description of the camp site.
There is nothing to say about fishing, if the camp site you choose is located on the shore of a lake, this service will be a priori.

Nutrition and sleep for children

In addition to entertainment for children, an important factor when choosing a camp site will also be the availability of a children's menu and the provision of children's beds.
Unfortunately, not all camp sites or hotels on Seliger that allow families with children provide cots for guests. This point needs to be clarified.

Camping in a tent with a child

For those who like to relax in a tent (sometimes this type of vacation is called “going on vacation as savages”), we can recommend the “Seligerets” camping site.

Seliger- a water basin on the slopes of the Valdai Upland, consisting of many shallows, branches, backwaters, and rivers. It’s as if someone carefully filled all the hollows, pits, and ravines of the Valdai Upland with azure, clear water from the lake. The area of ​​Lake Seliger is 260 square kilometers. The Seliger reaches stretch from one end to another in a long row and are found only in the very center, near the island of Khachin. Khachin is the main crossroads of all roads of Seliger. Behind the reaches there are boundless forests, hills, large and small lakes. At this place, from river to river, from lake to lake, across the border of two seas, there is a road to the south, which was first discovered by the ancient Finns, back in time immemorial. The name received from them is what Seliger still bears today: “Lake on a Portage.”

Seliger is not so deep. on average its depth is about six, and in the deepest waters - Ostashkovsky, Polnovsky, Kravotynsky reaches - about nine meters. Only in the very middle of the lake, on the shipping routes, the depth in some places is twice as great as the average. And only in rare places does the depth reach a little over twenty meters. There is usually a shoal near the coast, along which you can literally walk tens of meters.

Khachin Island is the most prominent island of Seliger. It covers an area of ​​more than 30 square kilometers, pushing the middle of the lake towards the shores and depicting the illusion of mainland land. in this place, among forests and clearings, thirteen inland reservoirs were lost. Of these lakes, the most famous among fishermen is Shchuchye, which is still truly abounding in pike. Crayfish are caught in northern White Lake. There are a lot of mushrooms, flowers and berries on the island.

One of the attractions of Khachin - Kopanka, a man-made canal three meters wide, dug in the nineteenth century by the builders of the Nile Desert. The canal connects the western and eastern shallows of the lake. On a raft along Kopanka you can proceed to one of the water bodies of Khachin - southern Beloe or go to the Nilova Hermitage - an architectural structure of the 17th-19th centuries, located on Stolbnoy Island.

Seliger is interesting for tourists not only for its picturesque nature, but also for its rich history. This region in the center of our country was inhabited already in distant, prehistoric times - during the Stone and Bronze Ages. In ancient times, there was a culture of hunters and fishermen here. The sites of ancient man were, as a rule, on elevated places, near the water. The earliest Neolithic site on Seliger (between the village of Konets and the village of Botovo) existed already in the 8th-7th millennia BC. In the vicinity of Nikolo-Rozhok, Botov, Bolshoi Ronsky, Gorodets and other villages, flint arrowheads and spears of ancient hunters are sometimes found - distant echoes of the Stone Age.

The first inhabitants of this region for many centuries were the ancient Finns. It is from them that the current names of rivers, lakes, and forests come. From about the 9th century. The Slavic tribe of Krivichi became the dominant population here, and from the 12th century. - Novgorod Slavs. This region witnessed many of the most important events in Russian history - princely civil strife, the invasion of Batu, a long and persistent struggle against the Lithuanian and Polish invaders. The most ancient routes passed here. This land has known prosperity and devastation. It became a line beyond which neither the hordes of Batu nor the hordes of Hitler could pass.
