Surrounded by birch forests and rolling fields, it's ideal for travelers seeking tranquility, nature walks, and a slower pace. The village itself is small, with a few local shops and a charming church. Nearby, the Ugra River provides opportunities for fishing and picnicking. History buffs can explore remnants of old estates and World War II memorials scattered in the region. Ferzikovo is not a tourist hub, so expect basic amenities and a genuine, off-the-beaten-path experience. The best way to enjoy it is to rent a car and explore the surrounding forests and villages, embracing the peaceful, rustic atmosphere.",[10,13,16],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","102",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","103",{"key":17,"value":18},"Fire","101",[20,23,26,29,32,35,38],{"key":21,"value":22},"Do I need a visa?","Yes, most foreign nationals need a visa to enter Russia.
