"This city with a thousand-year history is located at the confluence of the Polyansk Sora and Selshka Sora rivers. For 830 years it was the center of the possessions of the bishops of Freising, which left a peculiar imprint on its architecture. There are many historical sites in the city that attract thousands of tourists every year. Its rich cultural heritage is only emphasized by the untouched nature, which is why it was named "Gallery in Nature". A small town, but with its own unique atmosphere and energy," says Stanislav Kaznov.
