Bald Mountain is an amazing and mysterious anomaly that still lacks any explanation in scientific sources. This natural site rises over 100 metres over the bank of the Klyazma River. The anomaly of this mountain is that its surface has no vegetation, though there are many hills nearby that have trees growing on them, hence the name.

At the northern entrance to the ancient city of Murom from the side of Vladimir, there is a stone sculpture of Ilya Muromets. Locals honour the memory of the legendary hero, who, according to folk legends, was born in Karacharovo, near Murom.

The Cathedral of the Assumption is one of the oldest Russian temples, a sanctuary of the Orthodox Church, a witness of the most important historical events, a princely necropolis, a repository of unique ancient paintings, and the only documented and precisely dated monument where the frescoes of the famous icon painter Andrey Rublev have been preserved. The Cathedral of the Assumption is a unique monument of Old Russian history and art, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and is a rare combination of architecture, mural painting, icon painting, decorative and applied art from the 12th to the 19th centuries.

The first wooden church was built here in 1717. In the 19th century a new stone church was built. In 1911–1912, the bell tower was rebuilt from two to four levels.
It is believed that the bell tower of the Church of the Transfiguration was built on the model of the bell tower of the Peter and Paul Fortress. It is said to be five metres higher than the Cathedral of the Assumption in Vladimir.

This picturesque setting surrounded by pine woods attracts nature lovers and rock climbers.

The house of the Golitsyn Princes includes a museum dedicated to the history of the estate, its owners and P.I. Bagration.
