The region is a kind of ‘Mecca’ for all those interested in Russian literature. Oryol is the native city of many Russian writers: Turgenev, Leskov, Bunin, Andreev and others. The village of Spasskoe-Lutovinovo, Turgenev’s birthplace, is a wonderful 19th century estate, a visit to which will not leave you indifferent.

The National Park ‘Orlovskoe Polesye’ is the unique place where man and nature coexist in harmony and is one of Russia’s centers of its great spiritual wealth.

The mild climate, the unique natural landscape, a great number of monuments of history and culture will make the visit to the Oryol Region unforgettable.
