Konstantinovo
The village of Konstantinovo would be worth visiting simply to see the beautiful nature around the River Oka which flows next to it, even without its connection to the Russian poet Sergey Yesenin. The fact that Yesenin was born here means that large parts of the village have been preserved as they looked during his time here, including his parents farmstead when he spend his childhood. This all adds to the quaintness of the place.
