Autumn holiday for a savage on Seliger - time to pick mushrooms. The appearance of mushrooms in small and large city markets is a signal for a massive exodus of townspeople to the forest to pick mushrooms.

Rain is also not a problem if you take a raincoat with you. Those who are not going to pick mushrooms for the first time usually have their own usual places.

You can fully distance yourself and also take a break from everything that is so boring only in nature, somewhere in country house, because this is the only way to enjoy peace, tranquility, stock up on strength and health, not only physically, but also emotionally.
An excellent solution would be to visit our places where you can stay in a cozy house on the shore of Lake Peno
in the village of the same name.
It is here that all worries and problems fade into the background, and excellent fishing at this time of year will not let you get bored.
Autumn fishing in our area is entering a particularly intense phase. Fishing in autumn- a haven for spinners. Anyone who is not a fan of this dynamic tackle fishes with mugs. Predators, primarily pike and perch, have begun their autumn feeding season - you can take advantage of the moment and catch decent specimens.
Spinning players should not miss September. Right now you can successfully catch and learn new methods of fishing and bait. It’s rare that after a few bites on a familiar spinner or vibrator, someone will change it to a bright popper, and even move to another place. But still, having a few tails in stock, it’s easier to stop and try something new. Sometimes the result is amazing. It’s good to fish on the path now, using not only artificial bait, but also a dead fish on a tackle. There is no need to waste time on trifles; a large pike will soon bite on a large fish. However, small ones are always less likely to be caught during this kind of fishing, when you cast the bait in deeper open places. In general, we can talk about autumn fishing in our area for a long time, but it’s better to see and try once than to hear and envy a hundred times.
Seliger- a water basin on the slopes of the Valdai Upland, consisting of many shallows, branches, backwaters, and rivers. It’s as if someone carefully filled all the hollows, pits, and ravines of the Valdai Upland with azure, clear water from the lake. The area of Lake Seliger is 260 square kilometers. The Seliger reaches stretch from one end to another in a long row and are found only in the very center, near the island of Khachin. Khachin is the main crossroads of all roads of Seliger. Behind the reaches there are boundless forests, hills, large and small lakes. At this point, from river to river, from lake to lake, across the border of two seas, there is a road to the south, which was the first time immemorial, discovered by the ancient Finns. The name received from them is what Seliger still bears today: “Lake on a Portage.”
Seliger is not so deep. on average its depth is about six, and in the deepest waters - Ostashkovsky, Polnovsky, Kravotynsky reaches - about nine meters. Only in the very middle of the lake, on the shipping routes, the depth in some places is twice as great as the average. And only in rare places the depth reaches a little over twenty meters. There is usually a shoal near the coast, along which you can literally walk tens of meters.
Khachin Island is the most prominent island of Seliger. It covers an area of more than 30 square kilometers, pushing the middle of the lake towards the shores and depicting the illusion of mainland land. in this place, among forests and clearings, thirteen inland reservoirs were lost. Of these lakes, the most famous among fishermen is Shchuchye, which is still truly abounding in pike. Crayfish are caught in northern White Lake. There are a lot of mushrooms, flowers and berries on the island.
One of the attractions of Khachin - Kopanka, a man-made canal three meters wide, dug in the nineteenth century by the builders of the Nile Desert. The channel connects the western and eastern shallows of the lake. On a raft along Kopanka you can proceed to one of the water bodies of Khachin - southern Beloe or go to the Nile Desert - architectural structure XVII-XIX centuries, located on Stolbnoy Island.
Seliger is interesting for tourists not only picturesque nature, but also rich history. This region in the center of our country was inhabited already in distant, prehistoric times - during the Stone and Bronze Ages. In ancient times, there was a culture of hunters and fishermen here. The sites of ancient man were, as a rule, on elevated places, near the water. The earliest Neolithic site on Seliger (between the village of Konets and the village of Botovo) existed already in the 8th-7th millennia BC. In the vicinity of Nikolo-Rozhok, Botov, Bolshoy Ronsky, Gorodets and other villages, flint arrowheads and spears of ancient hunters are sometimes found - distant echoes of the Stone Age.
The first inhabitants of this region for many centuries were the ancient Finns. It is from them that the current names of rivers, lakes, and forests come. From about the 9th century. The Slavic tribe of Krivichi became the dominant population here, and from the 12th century. - Novgorod Slavs. This region witnessed many of the most important events in Russian history - princely civil strife, the invasion of Batu, a long and persistent struggle against the Lithuanian and Polish invaders. The most ancient routes passed here. This land has known prosperity and devastation. It became a line beyond which neither the hordes of Batu nor the hordes of Hitler could pass.
It is very difficult to find a place more unique than Seliger. The ice age lake system, which stretches over 260 km2, is the purest water of the islands, located above sea level among the hills and forests of the Valdai Upland. The Seliger reaches are connected by narrow channels, and the numerous islands (160 of them!) are completely different when you compare their topography and vegetation. It's no surprise that this magnificent natural wonder, located between Moscow and St. Petersburg, attracts tourists from all over the world.
