Today the "green" theme is extremely popular. People have eco fashion, eco food, eco cars and, of course, eco tourism. According to experts, ecotourism accounts for about 15% of the entire tourism market in the world. The best option is to go to the village! What to do on holiday in the countryside?
Exploring the area by bike
Crowds of people, a large number of cars, lack of fresh air - cycling in the city does not bring much pleasure. Another thing is cycling in the countryside. Uncharted paths, amazing forest landscapes - what could be better?
Do sports or yoga
Just like walking on an iron horse, doing yoga or sports in the city is not always comfortable. First, you still need to get to the park. Secondly, the parks are noisy. In addition, many are confused by the large number of strangers. When you go on vacation to the countryside, don't forget to bring sportswear and shoes, because here you can just go out into the field and practice!
Collecting useful plants
You can combine pleasant withuseful and go to collect useful herbs. To begin with, of course, you should familiarize yourself with the list of useful properties of various plants, the composition of the most useful and fragrant decoctions - and feel free to go in search of herbs!
Rustic SPA
The benefits of a real village bath can hardly be overestimated: it helps in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, allows you to normalize the respiratory and nervous system. To maximize the benefits of visiting the bathhouse, you should take a steam bath with a real broom, make a decoction of herbs for hair, prepare a natural scrub and pour cold water over it (or better yet, dive into the pond after the steam room!).
Picking berries and mushrooms
To do it in the countryside is much easier than in the city - no need to choose a day, go somewhere, go from the highway deep into the forest, and then come back. It is enough just to leave the house and in just an hour to collect a large number of various gifts of nature.
Culinary feats
This point follows from the previous one. Any dishes will become tastier thanks to vegetables straight from the garden and forest gifts. In addition, you can cook right in the yard - on the grill. So, when you are going on a vacation to the countryside, prepare a recipe book!
Reading books
You decided to spend your vacation in the countryside, take a walk, go mushroom picking, but the weather suddenly turned bad? No need to pack up and leave for the city. You can just read those books that you didn't have time for before.
Conductagricultural experiments
For villagers, a garden is not a joy, but a daily duty. You can also enjoy the process of weeding, watering beds and hilling potatoes. If the vacation is long, you can even try to grow something from seed to fruit!
Motorcycle rally
In any village people start riding motorcycles as soon as their feet reach the pedals. Try to compete with the local "Schumachers" and arrange a rally!
Fishing
Getting up at five in the morning and going to a river or a pond - why not rural romance? Of course, you can’t do without fishing rods. Therefore, when asking yourself the question of what to take on vacation to the village, think about gear. You can also take a swimsuit and go to the pond to sunbathe and swim.
Interesting photos
To save all the summer impressions of a vacation in the countryside, a camera will help. Meadow flowers and grasses covered with dew, cobwebs, amazing rays of the setting sun, pets - take your camera and spend a few hours looking for interesting shots!
Rural holiday with children
Psychologists say every child should have a summer full of adventures with camping and campfire gatherings, stargazing and swimming in the river! In order for the summer spent with the child in the village to be remembered for a long time, you need to think carefully about what to do. Here is a sample list:
- Set up a quest. Every child is familiar with such a game as Cossack robbers. It can be transformed into an exciting quest - with treasure hunts across the field and the river. Abandoned houses, old vehicles and ravines will help turn the countryside into a playground.
- Build a hut. Remember your childhood. Surely you had a secret place where you could gather with friends - a headquarters, a shelter. Children can build a hut themselves, but it is worth helping them with the preparation of building materials.
- Collect a collection of window frames. In every village, houses are decorated differently. The platbands are completely different from each other. The child can be told that the platbands are a beautiful carved frame that is located around the window. Architects usually take a camera and collect a photo collection of architraves. Why not do it with the kids on holiday in the countryside?
- Visit the mowing. It will be interesting for the child to watch how the grass is first mowed with a mower, left for a while, ted, and then rolled up using a tractor with a roll press. By the way, you can not only follow this process, but also collect some dry grass and make dolls out of it.
- Go to the apiary. Such an excursion will be very informative - the child will be able to learn how bees live, how to collect honey. In addition, you can buy a fragrant product, and then drink tea with honey and grandmother's pancakes.
- Collect a herbarium. If we talk about a vacation in the countryside with children, it is difficult to imagine it without collecting and drying flowers, herbs, moss and leaves of various shrubs and trees. Dried plants can be glued intoalbum or make unusual applications and crafts.
- Arrange evening or night gatherings by the fire on the shore of the reservoir. You can fry sausages or apples on sticks, you can bake potatoes, listen to crickets, watch the sunset.
- Admire the starry sky. In the city, such entertainment for children and adults is practically inaccessible. But on vacation in the village, everyone has such an opportunity - the sky here is deep and dark. The child will be able to get acquainted with various constellations, see the North Star, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major.
Summer is a great occasion to find inner freedom and harmony, communicate with nature and teach this communication to your children. And all this is possible, you just need to choose a vacation in the countryside.
