Nightingale lands

The living symbol of the Kursk region is the nightingale. The best singers are Kursk nightingales, whose songs residents of the region listen to with pleasure in the spring. These birds were known far beyond Kursk, and they were not cheap. So avid travelers go to the Kursk outback to hear the spring trills of the Kursk nightingale.

By the way, the fame of these birds began from the moment the Korenskaya Fair appeared. Thousands of people came to the famous fair: some to sell or buy, some to talk about business, some to look at people, show themselves off, and some to listen to the nightingales. Popular rumor said that they sing louder and louder if they wet their necks with water. And in Korennaya it is special, maybe that’s why the local nightingales are different from all others with their songs... “The Kursk nightingale makes such “knees” - you won’t forget it forever! I wish I could bring such a bird home,” many people thought and asked local residents to help them. This is how the nightingale trade appeared on Kursk land. Nightingale hunters caught the best singers and sold them for a tidy sum at the Korenskaya fair to connoisseurs and amateurs. So, along with their fame, the Kursk nightingales “scattered” all over the world.

By the way, there is also a “Kursk Nightingale” museum in the region, which embodies the history of the region in the image of an elegant songbird; With the help of her magical voice, visitors get acquainted with local literature, musical works, and fine arts. The museum has more than a thousand nightingale-themed exhibits and is of interest to everyone, young and old.
