Rurikovo Gorodische

The place is worth visiting. It's very close to Novgorod and it's easy to get there. You can feel the ancient history of this place. It will take you about half an hour to tour this place. It's too bad the information stand is in Russian only. Other than that it's a nice walk especially if the weather is good.

Great views over Volkhov river and opposite coast with Yuriev monastery! But not expect too much from modern reconstruction.

Interesting place but only in the end of August, during National Folk Music and Art Festival

Creating ancients from nothing...

Amazing views of Novgorod and the surrounding countryside, lovely walk from the road to the 'Prince's Stone' which locals also used as a bike riding and walking route. Unfortunately the original viking church was being conserved at the time so unfortunately could not be seen, which would have been very nice. Very historic spot with plenty of interesting things to look at. It's worth noting that we were with a guide, all the historic information was written in Russian so if you're on your own and don't speak Russian that might detract from it a little.
