Russia, Ryazan region, Solotcha village. Solotcha What to see in Solotcha

North of Ryazan, about 20 km along the road to Kasimov and Vladimir, is the resort village of Solotcha. This is the favorite vacation spot of most Ryazan residents. The thing is that this place has everything you need to breathe clean air and improve your health: a relict pine forest, turning in places into a mixed forest.

Solotcha is located almost on the banks of the Staritsa (that’s the name of the river flowing here). In fact, Staritsa is one of the boundaries separating two different natural massifs - on one bank of the river there is the Meshchera forest, and on the other the Oka floodplain, and then beyond the Oka there will be mostly fields, the forest will only be found in islands, there will no longer be a large continuous massif. In addition, there are many lakes in relative proximity to the village.

They say that the convenience and beauty of Solotcha was appreciated by the great Ryazan prince Oleg. In any case, the founding of the local monastery, which you will definitely see, since it is located on the main and only square of the village, is attributed to him. This, by the way, is one of the few attractions of the village. Still, people go to Solotcha for clean air and beautiful nature, and not for architectural beauties.

Where to relax in Solotch

Everyone chooses their own way of relaxation. Personally, in spring and autumn I simply go to Staritsa, lakes or the forest, depending on the weather, mood, presence or absence of mushrooms. In the summer I rent a dacha in one of the villages that make up the village. It's called Davydovo. For those who are looking for where to rent a summer cottage for the summer, I recommend this particular place, since it is located a short distance from the central highway, the forest begins behind the houses, and the river is 15-20 minutes away at a leisurely stroll through the forest.

You can rent a house or a room in Solotcha itself. But in the village, for the most part, houses are rented on Poryadok and Vladimirskaya streets, and many cars pass through them. Not entirely pleasant. It is better to look for a house away from these streets.

Those who are accustomed to organized rest and three meals a day will also find a place to relax and at the same time receive treatment. There are three large sanatoriums: Sosnovy Bor, Solotcha ( prices and reviews here) and "Old Woman".

“Sosnovy Bor” is located at the entrance to the village, about a couple of kilometers from the highway. The sanatorium is located on the outskirts of the main residential area, which is generally good in terms of recreation - there are relatively few people. The sanatorium has its own beach.

“Solotcha” is practically on the main square, next to the monastery. There is no private beach, you have to go to the city one, which is about half a kilometer along a forest path along the shore. On the other hand, the path is very beautiful, you can take a walk. In addition, there is a spring along the road, which is considered “holy”.

“Staritsa” is located at the exit from the village, between Solotcha and Zaborye. The sanatorium itself is located in a clearing near the river and has its own small beach. Experts believe that this particular sanatorium is the best of the three. There is one thing - active construction is underway not far from the Staritsa.

In addition, in the forest around the village there are many departmental holiday homes, as well as pioneer camps. There will be an opportunity to relax in them - don’t miss it, it will be useful. There are also guest houses and hotels. The Land House in Davydovo is good. On weekends, all rooms are usually full.

All holiday options with online booking are here.

What to see in Solotch

Most people go to Solotcha for nature. The holiday homes, of course, have restaurants, billiards, table tennis, spas and baths. But first of all, people still come here for the clean water in the river and lakes and the air of the pine forest, which clears all the lungs.

You will see the sights in a day. You should definitely go to the monastery. Access is open, just remember that men should not wear shorts and women should not wear trousers. Otherwise you will not be allowed further than the gate.

The monastery is surrounded by an impressive wall, and inside there are two churches. The one on the left is interesting. On its outer walls there are small multi-colored frescoes-icons.

They were preserved, despite the fact that for some time there was nothing on the territory of the monastery - neither a museum, nor religious institutions.

If you walk further along Poryadok and Vladimirskaya Street, you will reach the house-museum of I.P. I'm sorry. There was such a famous engraver who lived in Solotch. Its beautifully carved wooden house and outbuildings have been carefully preserved.

This place is also interesting because K.G. stayed there. Paustovsky. It was about this house and gazebo that he wrote in his “Meshcherskaya Side”. The museum contains the things of the famous writer, in which he went fishing in local reservoirs. They say he was an avid fisherman. One can appreciate the frankly spartan conditions in which the winner of many awards rested. By the way, Paustovsky got to Solotcha through Tuma. So in the 30-50s it was more convenient from Moscow, because the large (“Solotchinsky”) bridge across the Oka appeared only in the seventies. And from Tuma to Shumashi there was a narrow-gauge train. At that time it was the main transport route in the forested areas.

Actually, that's all. You can still walk to the main active church. In addition, across the road, not far from the Pozhalostin Museum, there is a Kooperator store. Go there and ask if there is bread from the Zaborievo bakery. If you have it, you should definitely buy it. It’s not clear what they do with it, but you probably haven’t eaten tastier bread. They work very well.

The rest of the time you will spend walking along the river and through the forest. Fortunately there is a lot of this goodness here. You will definitely like it!

Other ways to get to the resort.


The town of Solotcha administratively belongs to the Sovetsky district of Ryazan. This fact is especially emphasized by the residents of Solotchi themselves - they say that we do not live in a village, but in the capital of the region. We are not villagers, but city dwellers.

However, Ryazan and Solotcha are separated by 20 km of the M-5 highway, and Solotcha looks exactly like a village. There are no apartment buildings here, only private ones. Even a normally asphalted street is only one. Not because of poverty, but because Solotcha is located in a specially protected natural area. Multi-storey construction and other urbanization are prohibited here, and no one needs them. After all, Ryazan Solotcha is a local resort, and an extremely popular one at that. Ryazan residents are proud that they have their own “Switzerland” in the city: in the winter they come to Solotcha to ski, in the summer they send their offspring here to children’s camps, and the local sanatoriums generally operate all year round.

Solotcha has a rather impressive resort history - it was adapted as a health resort for residents of the Ryazan region almost immediately after the war. Firstly, there is clean, healthy air here: Solotcha is densely surrounded by pine forests. Secondly, clean rivers flow nearby, Solotcha and Staritsa, seven kilometers away is the Oka. There are places to swim and sunbathe in summer. Thirdly, Solotcha is conveniently located, at least from the point of view of Ryazan residents. Solotcha is called the “gate to Meshchera”, and Meshchera is one of the most popular holiday destinations in central Russia. Meshchera forests and rivers are so valuable that for their sake, the Meshchera National Park was formed in 1992.

In addition, Solotcha has its own mountain with the simple name Lysaya. So, in addition to cross-country skiing, which is incredibly popular in Solotch (in winter, the entire surrounding area is dotted with lines of ski routes, there are rentals on every corner), vacationers have the opportunity to slide down an equipped slope. They even built a ski jumping ramp here, although in the 2012/2013 season it was full of holes and had no stairs to the top.

But not only adherents of healthy leisure travel to Solotcha. The village is considered a kind of cultural satellite of Ryazan. First of all, because of the house-museum of Ivan Petrovich Pozhalostin (1837-1909), the famous Russian engraving master, located here. The same one whose name is given to the Ryazan Art Museum.

The Pozhalostin House Museum definitely deserves attention - it seems that this is the only museum in Russia dedicated to the engraver. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum operates an exhibition center, where very high-quality exhibitions are organized monthly, which bring together artists and other creative personalities from all over Russia. Of course, the museum tries to support modern engravers - you can count them on one hand throughout the country. And regular exhibitions of engravings are organized only in two places - in Solotch and Yekaterinburg.

During the Soviet years, Solotcha was made a resort and cultural resort, although before the revolution it was better known as a spiritual center. The heart of Solotcha - historically and geographically - is the Monastery of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, founded in 1390 by Grand Duke Oleg of Ryazan, canonized (his relics are kept in the monastery to this day). For centuries, the Solotchinsky monastery was one of the richest and most influential in Russia, now the monastery is gradually coming to life and being restored through the efforts of nuns - it is a women’s monastery, functioning. Its doors are always open for both pilgrims and ordinary curious people. Those who are curious will be interested to know that the Solotchinsky Monastery is the largest monument of the Naryshkin Baroque in the Ryazan region. This snow-white ensemble transforms the rural resort into a place with an ancient and significant history.

The entire preserved history of Solotcha can be seen on a single historical street - the further you go from it, the more Solotcha resembles an ordinary overgrown holiday village. On this historical street there are a monastery, and the central square (as usual, Lenin), and the house-museum of Pozhalostin, and another church - Kazan, 18th century. This street is the only clear and straight highway, like in the city. It's funny that it's called Order Street. True, they say in Solotch, the whole point is that the houses along it are in order.

On Poryadok Street there are preserved houses from the 19th century, mostly wooden with attics and carved platbands. True, they were quite diluted by Soviet country houses and state-owned houses such as hotels and empty general stores. This piece of historical Solotcha is supported on all sides by modern estates, some, according to available data, even have underground courts. Owning real estate in Solotch is fashionable not only among wealthy Ryazan residents, but also among the ubiquitous Muscovites. Firstly, the status of a resort helps, and secondly, in this way Ryazan residents solve the problem of traffic jams. It is faster to travel by car from Solotcha to the center of Ryazan on a weekday than from one district of the city to another. If you put the old houses in order and invest in infrastructure, Solotcha could turn out not to be a rural, but an almost European mini-resort, pleasant in all respects.

Solotcha is an urban microdistrict within the Sovetsky district of the city of Ryazan.

Located 11 kilometers from the left bank of Ryazan at the entrance to Meshchera on the banks of the Oka oxbow. Near the territory of the district, the Solotcha River of the same name flows into the oxbow lake. The area is surrounded on all sides by the Meshchera National Park; The forests located on the territory of the district are protected areas - multi-storey buildings are prohibited here.

Story

The village of Solotcha grew up around the Solotchinsky Nativity of the Virgin Mary monastery, founded in 1390 by the Ryazan Grand Duke Oleg Ivanovich - according to legend, at the meeting place of the prince and his wife with two hermits, Vasily and Euphemia. The conversation with the hermits sank deeply into the prince’s soul; Having founded the monastery, he took monastic vows and ruled for the last 12 years as a prince-monk. At the same time, he lived for a long time in the monastery, on the territory of which he was buried in 1402. The origin of Solotchi is from the Old Russian word (solot - swampy, swampy)

After 1917, the Solotchinsky Monastery was closed; later, a colony for juvenile delinquents was located on its territory (in 1993, the Solotchinsky Monastery was revived - but as a women's monastery).

In 1939-1959, the village was the administrative center of the Solotchinsky district of the Ryazan region.

In 1954, by decision of the Ryazan Regional Executive Committee, the village of Solotcha was classified as a dacha village. In 1958, the holiday village of Solotcha was transformed into a resort village; Thus, from a rural-type settlement, it moved into the category of urban-type settlements.

By Decree of the Head of Administration of the Ryazan Region No. 128 of March 3, 1994 “On approval of the administrative boundaries of the city of Ryazan and the Solotchinsky District,” the Solotchinsky resort village was included in the Soviet District of the city of Ryazan. By Decree of the Governor of the Ryazan Region No. 799-III dated September 22, 2004, the resort village of Solotcha was excluded from the registration data of the administrative-territorial structure of the Ryazan Region.

Attractions

There are many old wooden houses in Solotch with carved porches and stained glass windows.
