Prokopyevo

Prokopyevo is a village in the Veliky Ustyug district of the Vologda region. It is part of the Tregubovsky rural settlement. The distance by road to the regional center of Veliky Ustyug is 29.5 km, to the center of the municipality of Morozovitsa - 20 km.

This village is like the opposite of the previous one: it is located among a pine forest on a high hill.

It is always dry, clean, no tall grass.

Nearby houses grow pines, white moss.

You walk away a couple of steps and you can pick mushrooms!

Prokopyevo immediately liked this.

A spacious wide street, on which there are large houses, beckons for a walk.

In the village of Prokopyevo there are permanent residents - this is the Zubov family. Previously, they lived in Veliky Ustyug, but after reaching a well-deserved rest, they decided to move away from the bustle of the city. Nikolai Anatolyevich - a native resident - together with his wife Nadezhda Alexandrovna are harvest.

Previously, they say, there were many houses in the village, as were the inhabitants.

The road is good only in the village itself. A steep clay uprise and a dilapidated bridge across the river create an access problem with a conventional passenger car. And in winter, loggers clear the road from snow.

Another house where people live is on the outskirts of the village.

There, locals come only for the summer.

I'm amazed at the courage of some people: living in a village one-on-one with wildlife is for most a whole feat!

For example, I only love to contemplate such places, but I would not dare to live.

The return road accidentally led me to the steep bank of the Shardenga river.

I was already here a year ago, but I was not opposed to again look at this amazing place and take a photo.

I travel a lot and have long taken it as a principle not to go back the same way, but more and more often it doesn’t work out. This time I managed to go through an interesting route and return in another way.

I even crossed the Shardenga river in another place - on the foot bridge. In a separate post, I will talk about the small river Afoninka, which at the footbridge flows into Shardenga.
