A journey to the age of mammoths
Are you planning a vacation at the YAR Hotel?
Be sure to set aside time for the Kostenki Museum‑Reserve — it’s an adventure worth taking a detour from the usual path.
Just an hour’s drive from Voronezh and the YAR Hotel lies a real “window” into the past.
Here, beneath the layers of earth, are the settlements of ancient people from the Paleolithic era, dating back tens of thousands of years.
You will see a whole prehistoric “metropolis”: ancient settlements and legendary dwellings made of mammoth bones, which you read about in textbooks.
Kostenki is not just a museum, but a place of power with stunning views of the Don.
A walk along the picturesque river and immersion in the way of life of our distant ancestors will give you completely new impressions and help you recharge.
Are you relaxing at the YAR hotel&spa? Be sure to visit Kostenki — it’s a journey through time that’s just around the corner!
