Ustye

Ustye village is one of the favorite summer recreation places for Vologda residents and guests of the Vologda Region. It is located 70 kilometers from Vologda on the picturesque banks of the Kubena River, where nature, silence and centuries-old traditions merge into one.

Historically, Ustye was an important trade and craft center, and today it attracts tourists with its picturesque landscapes, clean air and rich cultural heritage. There are old churches, wooden houses with carved platbands, and in the vicinity you can see Kubenskoe Lake - one of the largest in the Vologda Oblast.

In summer people come to Ustye to enjoy a quiet vacation by the water, fishing and walks along forest trails. Festivals of folk traditions are held here, and local craftsmen keep the secrets of ancient crafts. This is a place where you want to come back for peace and real Russian provincial atmosphere.
