The official website of the governor and government of the Kursk region reported that the ethnopark will appear in the village of Krasnikovo, Pristensky district. Prototypes of existing types of mills will be placed on its territory. The objects will be united by a common tourist route, which will end next to the old watermill of the XVIII century.
The Church of the Transfiguration is already operating on the territory of the ethnopark. In addition, the baker's house began to work.
Currently, the construction of the crafts street is underway. It will have carpenter's and fisherman's houses, as well as a blacksmith's farm. In the future, a bast shoe house, a butcher's and a milkman's farmstead, and a Cossack farmstead with a horse circle will be built. It is planned to launch the production of flour directly at the mill.
The ethnopark will be equipped with a fairground for mass events, which are planned to be held monthly. The next celebration is scheduled for the end of February. Children will be able to participate in the festive events on the occasion of Maslenitsa.
Tourists can stay in guest houses and campsites equipped with a barbecue area. Thematic playgrounds will be provided for the entertainment of children.
There will also be a gastronomic route on the territory of the Mill Park.
Participants discussed the boundary between nature and ecotourism, whether mass visits to unique areas can remain safe, the responsibilities of investors, and how to prepare tourists for visiting specially protected natural areas.
The head of state expressed confidence that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the development of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.
