Ust-Tsilemskaya Gorka
Ust-Tsilemskaya Gorka is another object of the intangible cultural heritage of the Komi Republic. On Peter's Day, Ust-Tsilma women open their chests and put on rich grandmother's outfits for one, two and three hours to dance and sing long folk songs.
In Ust-Tsilma, where the descendants of the Novgorodians live, “govorya” has been preserved - a special, ancient Russian language, which the elders spoke and sang songs the ancestors of the northerners.
The Ust-Tsilems are Old Believers and guardians of ancestral homes, which they will gladly show to tourists.
Three rivers of the region - Pechora, Tsilma and Pizhma keep their legends and secrets.
They say that somewhere on Pizhma, the "gold of the Ryabushinskys" is waiting in the wings.
From Syktyvkar to Ust-Tsilma there is road and air communication.
