There are several reasons to visit Krutovo: the annual village festival, an interactive horse visit at the Krasnyy Kon equestrian club, tours of the Bogdarnya estate, and trips on the Klyazma. The activities take different forms: personal encounters with horses, an introduction to an estate, and trips on the river.

Horse Visits and the Village Festival

The Krasnyy Kon equestrian club offers interactive horse visits, during which guests can groom and feed a horse. If you want to interact with an animal yourself during your visit, this is a specific hands-on activity. Confirm booking details directly with the club before your visit.

The Krutovo village festival is celebrated annually.

Tours and River Trips at Bogdarnya

A tour of the Bogdarnya estate includes a visit to the stables. The tour also offers an insight into John Kopiski’s cheese-making using milk from his own dairy. The distinction between the horse-related activities is useful: at the equestrian club, guests can groom and feed the horses; at Bogdarnya, a stable visit is part of the tour.

Bogdarnya also offers catamaran and kayak trips on the Klyazma River. The options therefore range from a guided estate visit to trips on the water; for the water activity, you can choose between a catamaran and a kayak. Ask the estate in advance about tour dates and booking details; for river trips, it is advisable to check current availability.
