Sights of the city of Ertil (Voronezh region)

Tourism professionals say that if a weekend trip includes three components (beautiful nature, entertainment and educational parts), then usually all participants in the tour are satisfied!
We recently had a similar trip. We were going to see the famous ethno-village in Ertil, but in the end we stopped at the most picturesque Bityug in those places and looked at a very unusual water tower in the village of Political Department. We also got acquainted with the history of two ancient Voronezh estates. But first things first! An hour’s drive from Voronezh, before entering Ertil, there is an open-air museum “Village of the 17th-19th centuries”. Anyone who is interested in the identity of the Russian people with their patriarchal way of life can come to this village.

At the entrance we were already met by the creator of the village, Honored Farmer of Russia Vladimir Ivanovich Brezhnev. You know, you can always feel it when a person with sparkling eyes and genuine sincerity begins to talk from the threshold about one of the most interesting corners of the Voronezh outback!

Here you immediately embrace the spirit of past centuries, and the numerous peasant utensils and domestic animals that greet you quickly tune you into the “village wave”. And how much is around, and how much is new and unusual for a city dweller... Following the peasant hut, we go to the weaver’s home, to the pottery, the fisherman’s house and even to the mill!

The building that is not entirely traditional for this area is also striking - a hut or the dwelling of a mountaineer peasant. There is also another fairy-tale corner for the little ones, where heroes of folk tales stand around a hut on chicken legs.

Of course, you can separately talk about the museum, and about various entertainments, and about the black bathhouse, about several ponds, about local traditions and customs, but it’s better, as they say, to see for yourself once! Overall, on a five-point scale, the place is clearly excellent!

Vladimir Ivanovich happily took us to the cozy beach on Bityug, where for the first time in all our trips to the Black Earth Region we were lucky enough to smear ourselves with healing blue clay.

We wanted to visit the three giant oaks, but we had to politely refuse the hospitable host, because the second part of the trip lay ahead!

After driving for about an hour along the Tambov highway in the pouring rain, we finally found ourselves in a village with the unusual name Political Department.

It’s hard to say whether it was worth spending so much time on the road to this unique attraction, but expectations did not disappoint!

The leaning water tower has become a real tourist highlight not only of the village, but of the region as a whole. Of course, it is not as old and famous as the famous Pisa, but it’s definitely worth a visit. At least for the sake of photographs!

Happy and rested, on the way back we dropped into two more estates near Voronezh. One of them is the estate with the stud farm of the Tulinovs - Baroness von der Ropp in the village of Khlebnoye. And the second estate of the Veretennikovs - Kiselevs “Otradnoe” in the village of Khrenovoe, Novousmansky district.

And to summarize, at a minimum, everyone liked the trip, and at the maximum, I want to visit here again!

Over the past year, the unremarkable town of Ertil in the Voronezh region has become an object of mass tourism thanks to the open-air ethno-museum built here. Its creator simply calls his creation a “village” in which everyone can get acquainted with the peasant life of the 18th-20th centuries and learn something new about the history of the places where they live.

Museum of Peasant Life

One of the objects of the “village” is a museum of peasant life, which contains hundreds of exhibits: tools, tools, interior items and everyday life of residents of the Voronezh province. Here you can even find “overseas” machines used by local farmers, for example, a straw cutter manufactured in London at the beginning of the 20th century. But the main value of the museum is the loom, which, despite its considerable age (about 200 years), continues to work. Local craftswomen even wove several rugs on it.

An important difference between this museum and all the others: here you can touch everything with your hands, try on ancient tools that were used in every household years ago.

Ethnographic installation

Over time, many items from the museum collection migrated to other objects of the ethno-village - to a Russian hut with a real stove, to a weaver's house, to a blacksmith's workshop, to a fisherman's hut, to an apiary and to a dugout. You can go into each of these buildings and find out how and what was built in them a hundred or two years ago. Right there on the territory there is an observation tower (the territory of Ertil hundreds of years ago was borderland and was attacked by nomadic tribes) and a real windmill.

Entertainment is provided for guests: wallowing in the hayloft, pillow fights, log swings on which you need to keep your balance, ropes stretched over a pond through which you need to walk without falling into the water. Sometimes newlyweds come to the ethno-village: they have come up with their own romantic adventure here. The bride and groom must cross seven bridges and complete certain tasks - write letters to each other, launch paper boats, hang a castle, and so on.
