Remarks:
Sergiev Posad is the pre-Soviet and post-Soviet name of the town. The name Zagorsk was given to this town after the communist revolution in 1917. The name Zagorsk has the rough Eglish equivalent "A place after hills" (or "a place which is more distant than hills"). The name Sergiev Posad has the meaning "village settled by Sergius".

Train station is located near the left-bottom corner of the schema. Commutter trains go from there to Moscow approximately once in 1 hour. The travel time from Sergiev Posad to downtown Moscow is about 1 hour and half or less. Highway of relatively good quality connects Moscow and Sergiev Posad (the distance is about 50km.)
