Romantic Moscow Star-Gazing Picnic
Get ready to pitch a cozy blanket under the starlit sky of Moscow and experience a simple yet romantic date. This short and sweet date idea is a perfect way to escape the chaos of the city and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, without breaking the bank.
- For this date, you'll first need to prepare a homemade Russian bread drink known as Kvas. Then, pick a place in Moscow for a star-gazing picnic. A popular spot is the Vorobyovy Gory, which offers beautiful views of the city and allows for clear sky views. Spread your picnic blanket, pour your Kvas and immerse yourselves in meaningful conversations.
- As the stars twinkle in the night sky, enjoy the sweet inertia of time passing by. It's just you, your partner and the cosmos. Make it more memorable by finding constellations together and making wishes on shooting stars.
- Before you leave, make sure to clean up after your picnic and leave the place as you found it. Keep the environment clean and romantic for the next couple who wants to enjoy their time under the stars.
Preparation steps:
- To make Kvas, combine bread, sugar, yeast, and water following a traditional Russian recipe. Allow it to ferment for at least 24-48 hours.
- Prepare a simple picnic basket. Along with your bread drink, you can pack some cheese, fruits, and sandwiches. Don't forget to pack a soft blanket to sit on and maybe a couple of comfortable cushions.
- Lastly, check the weather forecast for clear skies. The whole essence of the date is to enjoy the night sky, after all. So, if the weather isn't cooperative, you may have to postpone the date.
Some tips:
- For star-gazing, apps like Stellarium can help you understand which constellations are visible from your location on any given date. This will add more charm to your date.
- Privacy and tranquility are key for this date to be successful. While Vorobyovy Gory is a great location, make sure you choose a more secluded spot within the area to set down your picnic.
- Wear comfortable and warm clothes. It could get a bit chilly, particularly in the late evening or night. Also, bring a flashlight just in case it gets too dark.
