Tikhvin |
There are road connections to Tikhvin (via Lyubytino), Okulovka, and Pestovo.
Construction of railways and the movement of ships along the Svir River increased competition, which led to the closure of the Tikhvin system.
Tikhvin hosts the Museum-House of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, which is located in the house where Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, a Russian composer, was born in 1844 and spent his childhood years.
