It is a very quiet place as there are only 2000 inhabitants. It is located just 60 km from Nizhny Novgorod. In Gorbatov, the sanatorium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the only, so to speak, city-forming enterprise. The ancient city, mentioned in the annals of 1565, is slowly dying. This is especially felt in winter, when almost half of the residents move out of their houses, which are used as summer cottages, to big cities. And there are snow-covered streets and wooden houses waiting for spring…
Departing nature
There are no special sights here that would take the breath away from tourists. Two temples remain, one of which was built in honor of the victory over Napoleon in 1813. Now it is slowly falling apart. In the second, life is still glimmering.
Attractive is the atmosphere of the old city, where residents greet not only each other, but also with all vacationers. The houses here are mainly made of timber or with brick first floors, on top of which wooden second floors are erected. Many of the buildings stand without windows, but those with owners are very different from the abandoned ones.
They are well-groomed, carved architraves remind of the times of 200 years ago. In winter, you can go around the whole city and not meet anyone, but life begins in spring. The smallest city in the Nizhny Novgorod region is Gorbatov, and the sanatorium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs brings some kind of revival here.
The he alth resort is located in the Pavlovsky district and positions itself as a center for restorative medicine and rehabilitation.

Reviews about the resort
Reviews about the he alth resort are diametrically opposed. Moreover, positive impressions are described in general phrases, almost no specifics. It seems that people expressed their thoughts in such a way as to write a review, but nothing more to say.
But negative summaries are full of details. In particular, they write about the work of the canteen that, in general, the food is acceptable, but the portions are small, and the menu is monotonous - stewed cabbage is at a premium here on any day of the week.
About leisure also opinions are different. Elderly vacationers are happy with everything, because they came here for peace and quiet - this is what they got. As for the younger guests, for lack of any variety, they leave this oasis of silence after a week. A cultural worker named Galina informs everyone who is interested that she works part-time, and therefore is not going to organize anything.
Based on all of the above, it follows that the leisure of vacationers is the work of the vacationers themselves. In this connection, after the weekend, the maids take out a large number of bottles of strong drinks from the rooms. By the way, there is no control over the implementation of the daily routine here.
Reviews about the treatment are not full of thanks to the staff. References to the extremely difficult process of "knocking out" procedures have become a common place. Only electrophoresis can be obtained without problems.
Pros of staying
Of the pluses, one can note clean air and the ability to immerse yourself in silence. But this is not for everybody.
However, if you want to take care of your nervous system, then you can do without modern medical manipulations. The nature in these places is really beautiful, as you can see by looking at the photo. It is better to come to the sanatorium of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "Gorbatov" without relying too much on highly qualified treatment. When expectations are not too high, there is no disappointment.
