Today is July 9, I remember when I visited Skete Tikhvin two years ago with my husband. The atmosphere there is very calm, and the water from the seven springs is cool and refreshing. My daughters are currently in university, if they were with us they would love the place.

Yes, I also went to Semikliucie three summers ago. That water from the seven springs really wakes you up, especially early in the morning when it's still cool. I remember the silence there, as if it stops you from everything.

Yes, that cold water from the seven springs hits you just like you say, it clears your head instantly. I went last spring and the silence was just as powerful, especially after you pass the gate. Did you also drink from that metal cup at the main spring?

Yes, that silence in Semikliucie really stops you from the daily rush. I arrived there with my husband and little girl two years ago, after a long walk through the forest, and we sat down on the bench near the springs without saying a word for several minutes. Did you stay long or just passing by?
