The center of geotourism is planned to make Velikoustyug district

The unique natural heritage of the Vologda region is planned to be promoted at the federal level. This was reported by the head of the Velikoustyug district Vladimir Noskov. He discussed the issue with the director of a major publisher.

It is planned to develop the municipality not only as the birthplace of Santa Claus, but also as a territory with a unique geological history. Scientists of the United States, Germany and other countries recognized the sukhon territories as a world relic value. Back in 2015, the list of UNESCO geoparks recommended to include special scenic places.

These include Opoki and Cape Bull. These objects are millions of years old. Here, on the banks of the Sukhona River, and today you can find real traces of the past: the bones of ancient animals, fangs, vertebrae.

Vladimir Noskov is sure that with the development of geotourism, there will be more travelers to the district.
