"Signed" - an abandoned manor Bashny.Net

Beautiful manor exactly halfway between St. Petersburg and Moscow.

It is located about 40 kilometers from the highway, and you can get there in two ways. The first - the shortest way, if you go from Moscow, but it is a narrow dirt road. In the winter, one of the sections of the road represented snow track for about 10 kilometers.

Having dived into the tunnel under the railway line St. Petersburg - Moscow can finally drive up to the house.
