Guest Impressions
Reviews about the "Catherine's settlement" are very different. Guests regularly praise a surprisingly beautiful place with magnificent nature, a quick solution on the spot of all the questions that arise during the holidays, delicious and plentiful food.
For many, Seliger is becoming the place they regularly want to return to.
Among the shortcomings, visitors to the holiday home most often note unreasonably high prices. For many, the lack of a store within walking distance, as well as dead roads, becomes a drawback. In addition, getting here is not so easy, because in bad weather you can stumble on such tracks on which you can easily leave the suspension.
Also a disadvantage is not very comfortable bathrooms. Some people are confused by the strange arrangement of cottages in which many guests stay. On the ground floor there is a fireplace room, where they set the table, while there are absolutely no windows in the room.
Lake Seliger amazes everyone with its beauty, at the same time it terrifies the state of the coast. He is covered in cigarette butts and rubbish, a nearby rubbish bin filled. In the heat, a very unpleasant smell appears, which discourages all the desire to return here again and again.
