To the Snow Maiden in Kostroma
No less exciting will be a visit to the charming companion of Santa Claus on New Year's Eve - the Snow Maiden in Kostroma, where she was settled, probably because it was in this city that the great playwright A. N. Ostrovsky wrote a touching story that became a classic of drama "The Snow Maiden". Also because Kostroma is near the patrimony of Santa Claus, so that the granddaughter does not have to travel far to him. Here, in the vicinity of Kostroma, the famous feature film about the Snow Maiden was filmed. Filming took place in the fake village of Berendeevka, which was later moved to the city, making it the basis of the park of the same name. In it (the park) they built a wonderful wooden house, with carved architraves, with openwork balconies and patterned porches - a real fairy-tale house "it's nice to look."
The house of the Snow Maiden is surrounded by a magical courtyard with a restaurant for guests "Metelitsa", a small belfry, a swing in the form of a Russian spoon, a huge boulder with a famous fairy tale saying, a wooden slide. How picturesque it all looks on a clear frosty day, against the backdrop of sparkling snow, how truly Russian style of buildings touches the soul.

Switzerland has a big advantage over other European countries - in late December and January there is almost always snow (at least in the mountains). Real, furry, lying in large snowdrifts along the streets and houses.
