“Fairy Tale House” (St. Petersburg, Russia)

If you look closely, the “Fairy Tale House” is not a house at all, but a whole fairy-tale country in which Ole Lukoye and the Golden Fish, Koschey the Immortal and Karabas-Barabas, the Three Bears and Puss-in-Boots live side by side. In this country there is also a place for little lovers of fairy tales: after all, they too can overcome all dangers, solve tricky riddles, complete tasks and make sure that the fairy tale ends happily. Traveling through the fantastic halls of the “Fairy Tale House”, the children will end up in Koshchei’s cave, listen to the steps of the scientist’s Cat, sit on the beds of Mikhail Ivanovich, Nastasya Petrovna and Mishutka, and master the control of Baba Yaga’s stupa. And actors in the guise of fairy-tale characters will help them get used to the fairy tale. Now there are two “Fairy Tale Houses” in St. Petersburg (on Gorkovskaya and on Pionerskaya).

“Glade of Fairy Tales” (Yalta, Ukraine)

No matter how good the scenery is, we still remember how many times fairy-tale heroes wandered through fields and dense forests. Therefore the museum is under open air The “Glade of Fairy Tales” has settled under the canopy of trees, and how can one not believe that this is a real fairy-tale forest. Here are collected sculptures of characters from various fairy tales: the mighty hero Svyatogor and the resourceful Zaporozhye Cossacks, the wretched Old Man with his Old Woman and the cheerful Khoja Nasreddin, Ellie with her faithful friends - the Scarecrow, the Woodcutter and the Brave Lion, a bunch of inhabitants of Teremok and many other characters from folk tales , fairy tales by Russian and foreign writers. For advice or help, as usual in fairy tales, here you need to go to Baba Yaga - she lives in a traditional hut on chicken legs. Maybe Yaga will first ask a tricky riddle - but since Ivan Tsarevich coped with her tasks, then the children will cope too. The summer theater also hosts fabulous performances.

Brothers Grimm House Museum (Steinau an der Strasse, Germany)

Typical German half-timbered buildings - white walls, brown beams; near the house there is a tree in the shade of which there are wooden benches. This is the house where the Brothers Grimm, world-famous storytellers, lived. More precisely, two of them were storytellers, and the third, a musician and engraver, created many illustrations for his brothers’ fairy tales. His works, as well as drawings by other artists, are presented in the museum. And also old and new books in different languages, the plots of which are familiar from childhood: “The Town Musicians of Bremen”, “Hansel and Gretel”, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and many others. The house combines the simple life of the Grimm family with modern interiors, also inhabited by characters from their favorite fairy tales. Even the wolf who threatened Little Red Riding Hood bares his teeth, but does no harm.

Let us mention in passing that we have developed an entire route - “ German road fairy tales", passing from Bremen, where the cat, dog, donkey and rooster gained fame, to Hanau, hometown Brothers Grimm. The 600 km long road connecting the magical medieval cities goes past the castles of Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel, past the domain of Lady Blizzard, through Hamelin, where the Pied Piper lived, and Bodenwerder - the estate of Baron Munchausen.

We think that a visit to one of these museums will result in your bookcase or film collection being replenished with new good fairy tales!

In order to somehow entertain him, his father began to compose him a fairy tale: Once upon a time there was a crocodile, He walked the streets.

The boy suddenly became quiet and began to listen. K. Chukovsky's fairy tales help all children navigate the world around them and make them feel like a fearless participant in imaginary battles for justice, for goodness and freedom. The poems of K.

By the way, the image of a dark character local residents Fixed a few things. In the process of “registration” of the famous old woman, serious problems arose: the fact is that the village of Kukoboi is famous for its many temples and churches, and the priests were categorically against settling the “devilishness”.

However, the “Golden Fish Possession” is also located in the village of Lipin Bor, Vologda Region. This is due to the name of the district - Vashkinsky.

Kolobok – Novaya Bedenga village

At first, the Ulyanovsk region tried to “stake out” the name of Cheburashka on the fairy-tale map, citing as a basis a mention in Dahl’s dictionary, but the creator of the image of Cheburashka, Eduard Uspensky, strongly opposed it. In the meantime, most of the fairy-tale characters dismantled other cities, and only Kolobok remained in Ulyanovsk. Fortunately, the foundations here are more or less strong: local historian Sergei Petrov found the Simbirsk roots of the character in connection with the oscillator, the Simbirsk kolobok. According to Dahl's dictionary, in the Ulyanovsk province bread made from leftover dough was called kolyabyatka. This is the bun, the flour for which was scraped up along the bottom of the tree.

June 2, 2012 The official opening of the Koloboka estate took place in the village of Novaya Bedenga. The log house and yard of the fairy-tale hero were built according to all the canons of 19th century carpentry. There is a stove in the hut so that it is always warm and smells of pies. Kolobok's yard lands are located in a picturesque area. Nearby, on a pedestal, there is a sculpture of the owner of the house, next to it are wooden images of all the heroes of the fairy tale - the Hare, the Bear, the Wolf and the Fox.

The estate will include a number of facilities: “Kolobok House”, “Kolobodrom”, a children’s playground, as well as the “Simbirsk Koloboks” production line. “Kolobok’s House” will be an interactive donut cafe (with halls for children and adults) with a souvenir shop and a “live” Kolobok, whose functions, of course, will be performed by an animator.

On the day of Ivan Kupala, Kenozersky residents invite everyone to the festival "Kenozero Fool".

Sadko – Gostsy

Residents of the village of Gostsy, Novgorod region, sincerely believe that Sadko is not just an invented fairy tale, but a very real person. A certain Sotko Sytinich is actually mentioned in the Novgorod chronicle of 1167 as the builder of the Church of Boris and Gleb in the Novgorod Detinets. “Various fairy-tale motifs are associated with the name of this person,” historians and linguists write today. One of the legends about Sadko, we recall, says that he decided to bet with merchants that there was a fish with golden feathers in Lake Ilmen. The Water King helped him win the argument. After this, Sadko traded successfully and soon became rich. According to this belief, businessmen and entrepreneurs still come to Gostsy today for good luck.

Koschey the Immortal – Elder

The ancient town of Staritsa, Tver Region, is now considered the birthplace of Koshchei. In support of this version, the governor of the Tver region, Dmitry Zelenin, cites a legend about how an old man’s shoemaker once met a monster with glowing eyes in the local quarries. “This is exactly how Koschey the Immortal appears in Russian fairy tales,” explains Zelenin. In addition, the ancient coat of arms of Staritsa depicts a hunchbacked old woman with a stick. According to local historians, this is “the same Baba Yaga who helped Ivan Tsarevich defeat Koshchei.” In the city it is planned to equip Koshchei’s cave and even erect a monument to him. In the meantime, the main attraction of Staritsa is the Holy Dormition Monastery. In Staritsa, the youth John was born and raised - later Job, the first Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus'; This is where he died. And knowledgeable Orthodox Christians specially come to Staritsa to see his tomb.

Nightingale the Robber – Birch

In the Kursk region there is the village of Bereza, which is filled with legends and traditions. Why is this village the birthplace of the Nightingale the Robber? There is a legend that when the village itself was founded, a peasant planted three birch trees, about which the Nightingale the Robber talks a lot in the epic. Even the famous archaeologist Yuri Lipking confirmed Nightingale’s Kursk registration in his book “The Distant Past of the Nightingale Land.”

Rusalka - Pskov

Quite recently, the Pskov Little Mermaid appeared on the “Fairytale Map of Russia”. The fact that it was she who became the fairy-tale symbol of the Pskov region is explained simply: in the Pskov region there is the A.S. Pushkin Museum-Reserve “Mikhailovskoe”, and at Pushkin’s in Lukomorye it is the mermaid who sits on the branches of a green oak tree. By the way, the mermaid’s residence will be located in the center countryside holiday"Lukomorye", so everything fits together perfectly.

Chicken Ryaba – Ermakovo

In August, in the village of Ermakovo, in the Yaroslavl region, a holiday dedicated to the magical Hen is held annually. In addition, there is also a museum of the Ryaba Hen, by visiting which you will not only see the fabulous laying hen in different guises, but also learn about the craft and life in Rus'.

Emelya and Pike – Rostov Veliky

In Rostov, holidays “At the command of the pike” are regularly held. The festival begins with a competition of bell ringers, continues with a ceremonial parade led, of course, by Emelya himself, riding, as he should, on a stove, and ends with mass dancing, games and pike ear treats. This fish is the main attraction of Rostov Lake Nero, because according to legend, this very magic pike lives here.

Vodyanoy – Poshekhonye

It’s not for nothing that Poshekhonye is called the Venice of Yaroslavl - after all, it stands on five rivers at once, there are ponds and, of course, the Rybinsk Reservoir. And so the Poshekhonians decided to settle a merman. His official residence located in the children's library. The merman's apartment is decorated with portraits of the owner, statues of cute frog girlfriends, an aquarium with small catfish, a water mill and other attributes of the water kingdom. The idea of ​​assigning the place of residence of the ruler of rivers and lakes to Poshekhony was invented by library staff who collected rich history The owner of the rivers. In popular belief, Poshekhonya, a merman, is a strong, middle-aged man, with a beard and barefoot. He wears a red shirt and a straw hat. The main tourist holiday takes place here in early June and is called “The Master of the Poshekhon Rivers.” At Vodyanoy’s residence, interactive programs. The merman gives different tips, Kikimora sings songs and entertains the guests, and then everyone is treated to fish soup.

Buratino – Zelenogradsk

June 13, 1999 citizens of the resort city of Zelenogradsk, Kaliningrad region, gathered for central square city ​​and by a special Act adopted “the hitherto homeless, passportless and homeless Pinocchio.” Residents of the city believe that the wooden boy was born to them. And they give an argument: in Zelenogradsk there is a Field of Miracles - the same one described in “The Golden Key”. Do money trees grow there, come and see for yourself.

At the beginning of August, Zelenograd residents celebrate their City Day. At this holiday Pinocchio will find something fun and funny for every child. But if suddenly you don’t manage to get to Zelenogradsk for the holiday, don’t worry! Firstly, the sea, forest, sand and sun in Buratino’s homeland work around the clock. And secondly, in any weather, you will find yourself in Papa Carlo’s closet, where there is that same secret door behind the old canvas and a collection of golden keys (by the way, if you have an interesting key lying around somewhere that you don’t need, bring it as a gift!). You will be taken to memorial sites, associated with the extraordinary adventures of Pinocchio. You will see with your own eyes the oak tree on which the night robbers hung Pinocchio upside down, the bridge over Tortilina Pond, the pine tree to which Karabas Barabas’s beard stuck, a copy of Malvina’s secluded house. And then you yourself will play in a scene from the play about Pinocchio or in several Pinocchio games. And then you order three crusts of bread at the Three Peskars Kharchevna. And then visit the Zelenograd Historical and Archaeological Museum, where unique exhibits about the past of this land are exhibited. This is very interesting!

Scarlet Flower – Ufa

Back in December 2010, a large forged Scarlet flower “bloomed” in one of the parks of Ufa, becoming a popular attraction among lovers. The basis for choosing the capital of Bashkiria as the birthplace of the Scarlet Flower was the well-known fact about the birthplace of the author of the fairy tale, Sergei Aksakov, on a family estate near Ufa. There, as a child, the writer heard this story from the housekeeper Pelageya, who told him fairy tales, and later the writer created a book about the story of Beauty and the Beast, which he called “The Scarlet Flower.”
