"You should experience it!" Any Russian would tell you this phrase. It’s said about Russian banya (Russian sauna or bath) and traditional Russian meal. If you want to taste Russian food and experience true Russian banya, this tour is for you. You will travel to a family club Sani, which is located in a Russian village not far from Ekaterinburg, Russia.
It’s a kind of "impossible mission" to describe Russian banya (Bathhouse). Just try it! Banya is a house designed for washing body and soul relaxation. After staying in a very hot damp steam room you will get massage done by somebody experienced in the matter. The message is done with the ‘venik’ the wisps of dry but soaked birch twigs with leaves. It looks like a harsh beating but feels like an unusual aromatic massage. You can choose different types of veniks. Thus, lime tree venik will produce antiseptic effect, oaken venik will make your skin soft and reduce high blood pressure. Besides you can have balmy bathes by adding aromas to steam or water. To make washing more comfortable and pleasant you will get towels, slippers, cosmetic means (shampoo, shower gel, soap). After washing in Russian banya you can treat your body with massage, pilling or lie in a milk, salt or herbal bath. To get services in a complex you can order spa packages. Your skin will be soft, your body will be light, and all troubles will go away.

Il monumento a Ekaterinburgo!

Ganina Yama is a disused mine shaft, where the ironstone was produced near the village of Koptyaki, 15 km (9.5 miles) north from Ekaterinburg.

On the night of 17 July 1918, the bodies of Tsar Nicholas II and his family, who had been executed at the engineer Ipatiev’s House (see The Church on the Blood), were secretly transported to Ganina Yama and thrown into the shaft. When the Royal “White Army” approached Ekaterinburg, the bodies were extracted and destroyed by sulphuric acid. Some remnants were retrieved by geologists in 1979.

Today there is a beautiful monastery here dedicated to the Royal martyrs.

The 7 churches, all of them different and mostly wooden, symbolize the 7 members of the Tsar family.
In winter you will love the pattern of green church roofs and white snow on tall pine trees around.

When there, remember to buy a loaf of freshly baked bread and a bottle of mors (berry drink) or kvass (non-alcoholic Russian beer) made by monks.

This newly reconstructed church used to be one of the largest and richest in Ekaterinburg back in the XIX century.

There used to be many highly valued icons with silver and golden frameworks.

In the Soviet Years, the building was used for a movie theatre.

The local head of the Orthodox diocese, archbishop Vikentiy, often serves in Holy Trinity Church.

In the little cafe outside the church you can try bread baked in the monastery Ganina Yama, mors (berry drink) and kvas (non-alcoholic Russian beer) made by monks.

According to foreign travelers, Russian love for purity - their main national feature. Every town and village has a bath (Banya)!

Banya accelerates metabolism, improves blood circulation, stimulates breathing. Heat, steam, water and massage (rubbing a sponge or broom) deep cleanses the skin, increase flexibility and joint mobility.

Experts in banya attach great importance to a birch broom - this Russian "massage device." Broom percussing must first be very easy. Lightly touching the body with only leaves and then with the ends of branches, more and more percussing along the shoulders, back, along the arms and legs (along rather than across - it's one of the commandments of bath science!).

Visit Russian Banya in Ekaterinburg 4 hours - 150 euro!
