Korolev. Weekend hike: Art. Chelyuskinskaya - Akulovsky water supply system - Elk Island - Korolev town Chelyuskinskaya platform

Railway station "Chelyuskinskaya" located on the line of the Yaroslavl direction of the Moscow Railway, located in the city of Mytishchi, in the suburbs. The platform got its name from the Chelyuskinsky microdistrict, which was previously called the village of Old Bolsheviks, known as Sosnovy Bor.

The station was opened in 1936, it houses two landing platforms near which electric trains pass. One of the platforms has a lateral configuration, the other landing platform is an island one. The platforms are straight, slightly curved to the north. Near the platforms, three paths run through the station and another one is being built.

Under the railway lines, there is an underground passage that connects the platforms. The ticket office is located on the side passenger platform. A little to the north of the station is a road crossing through the railway. There are no turnstiles at the station.

From the west, near the station, there is a residential sector of the dacha village Sosnovy Bor, Old Bolshevikov Avenue, Chelyuskinskaya Street are approaching the railway, Koralova Street is not far, and Privokzalnaya Street passes near the platform. A little north of the station lies the Second Water and Water streets. Water street connects the territory of the station with the Yaroslavl highway. The Yaroslavl route runs a kilometer from the platform.

Near the western part of the station there is a private sector, small country houses, garden plots. A kilometer from the station is the production area where the reinforced concrete plant is located, the territory of Stroyperlit OJSC, other enterprises are located, and the military unit is located. Behind the manufacturing sector, the Stroiplastmass residential district is located.

Extensive natural territory stretches from the east of the station, there is a small pond Chocolate. Not far from the platform is the sanatorium "Podlipki". The natural area runs to the Yaroslavl highway.

Near the station is the village of Cherkizovo. A hundred meters west of the station begins the residential sector of the village Chelyuskinsky.

The central part of Mytishchi is located six kilometers from the station.

Not far from the platforms there are residential new buildings, construction of new residential facilities is underway.

The residential project "Newton" is located in the city of Mytishchi near Rozhdestvenskaya street. The complex has several multi-story buildings, an underground parking for six hundred cars. Near the project there are training centers, trade departments, social enterprises, and other infrastructure of the city of Mytishchi.

The Chelyuskinskaya platform is located nine kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road.

Almost the entire route runs near settlements, but it is good in that it is near Moscow and little time is spent on the road, and it is not very long. In addition, almost all of it can be walked along asphalt and concrete roads. We usually walk here in late autumn and early spring, when the days are not very long, there is a lot of dirt and water in the forest, and there is little snow - that is, when skiing is no longer comfortable, and it is too early for hiking in the forests (or vice versa; )). By the way, in winter, there is a ski track almost throughout the route and you can go skiing. The only inconvenience is the need to periodically remove skis in order to cross roads.
The length of the route is 12-17 km.

The path begins from Art. Chelyuskinskaya, where we arrive by train from the Yaroslavl station (schedule). We pass to the right along the train. Then there are two options for the path. You can go through the destroyed checkpoint of the sanatorium to the pond, known as Lake. Chocolate and further along the paths through the Chelyuskinsky forest in a southeast direction to the Akulovsky water canal, here it passes underground in a wide hollow. Slightly not reaching the Yaroslavl highway, you need to go over the water canal (locals call it simply “the channel”) and go out onto the highway leading along it. This path is good if the paths in the forest are not too dirty.
If walking through the woods is not comfortable, then getting off the train we go along the paths before moving and turn right along the highway running along the “channel”.

We cross the Yaroslavl highway through the elevated passage, which is located to the left (along the way) of our path, about 150 m. After crossing the highway, we return to the “channel”.

A bit of history: The eastern water canal (also the Akulovsky water canal; the Akulovsky hydroelectric canal) is designed to supply Volga water from the Uchinsky (Akulovsky) reservoir to the first rise of the Eastern (formerly Stalin) water station. It was built in 1933-1937 during the construction of the Stalin pumping station.
The problems of water supply, which constantly grew in Moscow in the 1920s and 1930s, required their cardinal resolution. The Master Plan for the Reconstruction of Moscow, developed and adopted in 1935, was also accompanied by a Plan for the flooding of Moscow. In the same year, the Planning Department of the Moscow City Council prepared and published the “Scheme of the main highways, watering and landscaping of Moscow.”
One of the elements of the planned watering of Moscow was the Eastern Canal, which was supposed to be part of a large water ring north and east of Moscow, starting from the Klyazma reservoir, passing through Mytishchi, Kuskovo and connecting through a system of locks to the Moscow River in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Southern Port. This project, which remained unrealized, found its reduced embodiment in the construction of the supply lines of the Stalin pump station.
The main reason why for decades nothing was reported about the fate of hundreds of thousands of people employed in the construction of the Moscow-Volgostroi (MVS) facilities was the special secrecy regime observed at these sites. This applies not only to prisoners, but also to civilian employees, specialists who enter the system. For violation of the requirements, criminal liability was provided, which at that time was almost tantamount to death.
In 1990, the Moscow archaeological expedition conducted a comprehensive study of the Losiny Ostrov State Natural National Park (GPNP). During it, the stories of local residents, old-timers from the villages of Shchitnikovo, Oboldino, related to the time of the construction of the canal were recorded. The camp huts were located 1.4 km northwest of the village of Oboldino, in the village of Oboldinsky. The locals called the prisoners "galliers." Their graves dotted the forests around the canal.

With the outbreak of World War II, serious measures were taken to protect Moscow water supply facilities from enemy air raids. Of particular danger was the Akulovskaya dam with a height of 24.3 meters, which restrains the water pressure of 23 meters. From the first days of the war, all hydroelectric installations were repainted in a masking color. To protect the Akulovskaya dam, cadets of the Bolshevsk Military Engineering School were sent. The first bombs were dropped on the dam in 1941, one of them hit directly into the canal. The pit was filled with sandbags and the canal continued to function.

The further path can be continued along the highway, but it is much more interesting and pleasant to walk along the embankment of the water supply system. Previously, it was forbidden - there were permanent police posts and patrols, but now the ban has been lifted and you can walk along the entire “channel” with the exception of the territory of pumping stations.

To our right will be a forest with the strange official name “45 quarter”, and to the left of the highway, beyond which there are cottage villages.

About halfway through this stretch of the path, we cross the Dulev stream, better known as the Govnotechka River. Now this is a dirty ditch, but at the beginning of the twentieth an ide and a bream were caught here, even crayfish were found.

After 1.4 km we come to the Bolshevsky highway. It must be crossed carefully - there is no pedestrian crossing, the traffic is quite active and pedestrians are poorly visible due to the terrain.

We continue our journey along the "channel". On the left is the Committee Forest, on the right is the Zavokzalny district of Korolev. If we go along the embankment of the water supply, we should get off it at the pedestrian crossing and continue along the road on the left - there will soon be a pumping station.

On the highway we approach the Moninsky branch of the Yaroslavl railway. On the right, about 600 m, you can see Art. Podlipki-Country. If necessary, you can finish the route here, but this is not rational, since the most beautiful and interesting places are yet to come.

Behind the railway begins the territory of the city of Korolev.

Along the embankment we reach Korolev Avenue, cross it and turn right to Victory Square, where you can see the Alexander Nevsky Chapel and the Victory Memorial.

Behind the square begins a small, but the most boring part of the path - you need to turn right onto Oktyabrsky Boulevard, walk along it to St. Pioneer, go to another side and turn left to reach the territory of the Akulovsky water supply. If the weather is dry, then you can not do this bypass, but go right along the “channel” or through a small forest behind the Memorial of Glory past the Church of St. Vladimir.

The further route departs from the water supply route, since here a protected area very soon begins, where water flows in an open channel.
We continue our way, turning right from the street. Pioneer, and we go along a long concrete fence. On the left planting of birch, pine and spruce. Having reached the end of the fence, we continue our journey southward along a wide clearing in the forest - this is the territory of the Elk Island reserve.

A bit of history: Elk Island is located in the north-east of Moscow and the Moscow Region, it starts from Sokolniki Park and continues beyond the Moscow Ring Road to Mytishchi, Korolev, Shchelkova and Balashikha, forming a kind of green wedge between the Yaroslavl and Schelkovsky highways. The greatest length from west to east is 22 km, from north to south 10 km. Slightly less than 1/3 of the park is located in the city of Moscow. This is one of the first national parks in Russia.
Elk Island is known from 1406 from the XV to the XVIIΙth centuries. the lands were part of the Taininskaya palace volost, the lands of which since ancient times served as hunting grounds for Russian princes and tsars. So, in 1564, Ivan IV was hunting bears here. In general, the Moose Island maintained a protected regime. In 1799, forests were transferred to the treasury department and the first topographic survey was carried out; the forest is divided into quarters, the area of \u200b\u200beach is equal to a square verst. The first forestry was founded here in 1842, at the same time the first taxonation was completed by the senior taxiator Yegor Grimme and the younger taxiator Nikolai Shelgunov. According to its results, spruce dominates in the forest fund (67%), which subsequently gave way to pine and birch.
In 1844, forester Vasily Gershner laid the foundation for the creation of man-made forests in Elk Island. Active forestry work, and mainly sowing and planting pine, was carried out for 115 years. These landings are still resistant to intense anthropogenic impact.
In the middle of the XIX century, the Losinoostrovskaya forest dacha (Pogonno-Losino-Ostrovsky forestry) was organized, the period of systematic forestry began.
The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a national park in 1912 was put forward by the head of the forestry college adviser Sergei Vasilievich Dyakov. In 1934, Elk Island was included in the 50-kilometer "green belt" around Moscow.
Most of the forest was cut down during the Great Patriotic War. In 1979, by a joint decision of the Moscow City and Regional Councils of People's Deputies, Elk Island was transformed into a natural park, and on August 24, 1983, by a decision of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, a national park was formed.
Geographically, the park is confined to the junction of the Meshchera Lowland and the Klinsko-Dmitrov Ridge. It consists of six forest parks: two of them, Yauzsky and Losinoostrovsky, are located within the city, the rest - Mytishchi, Alekseevsky, Losinopogonny, Schelkovsky - in the region.
In the relatively small territory of the National Park (about 12 thousand hectares) you can find coniferous forests of the taiga zone, birch forests, swampy meadows, swamps of various types, as well as man-made plantings of different species of trees, clearings, meadows, ponds. On the territory of the park are the sources of the Yauza and Pekhorki rivers.
The fauna includes more than 230 species of vertebrate animals, including more than 160 species of birds, 38 species of mammals; 15 species represent fish, 10 - amphibians and 5 - reptiles. According to the staff of the national park maintenance and improvement service, at the beginning of 2013, 70 moose, 300 sika deer, 200 wild boars, 300 hares lived on the territory of Elk Island. There are also foxes, American minks, raccoon dogs, squirrels, hazel dormouse, beavers, muskrats, red voles, forest mice, goshawks, white-tailed eagles, and many others.

We follow a forest road past a large clearing and further through the forest towards the south.

After 1 km we cross the overgrown clearing and 200-300 m behind it we leave onto the road.

You can go along it to the right and after 1.2 km go to the wide clearing of the SJ along which the road is laid. Turning right (to C) we will soon leave for the city of Korolev, on ul. Pioneer. If we continue the route, then we should continue to go along it in a southerly direction. After 700 m we cross the wide swampy valley of the Nekhlyudov sleeve.

A bit of history: On ancient maps, this place was called the tract Nekhlyudova Polyana, local residents often call it - First Torfyanka. Perhaps the name came from the border of the monastic and princely possessions. "Princess Khludnevskaya land" and non-Khludnevskaya. The mention of the "princess Khludnevsky land" is found in the Razdezhevy letter about 1477-1484gg.

After the Nekhlyudov sleeve, we pass another 900 m with forest and exit to Lake Torfyanka. It was formed on the site of an old quarry. Now there is a recreation area with a beach and a cafe, in the warm season you can swim and eat.

From the lake you can walk to the nearby village. Peat enterprise, where buses go to st. Bolshevo Yaroslavl Railway
Our path lies to the west, by the edge of the forest, past the Upper Yauk swamps - the source of the river. Yauza. Here, in a surprising way, the classic marsh landscapes of the middle strip combine with sections of the almost northern tundra.

After 1.6 km from the lake we turn north along the clearing (you can turn to the previous clearing, but this way is more pleasant). After walking along it for 2 km, we leave on the road going in the direction of the pollutant, we cross it and continue the path northward along the forest path.

After 460 m we cross the clearing of the heating plant and along the clearing in the birch forest (in C) we go to the outskirts of Korolev.

We pass a small section of the path between the fences and exit to the Korzhevskie Kultury park complex.

If you have time, you can turn right and take a walk through this beautiful landscape park.

A bit of history: The park bears the name of the famous architect Mikhail Petrovich Korzhev, who is the author of this amazingly beautiful man-made piece of nature. Together with the forester D.N. Marinin, in the early 1950s a landscape of park type was laid with a radially located system of alleys and paths, alternating with decorative meadows. The secret of this park is that if you compare its map with the famous Sokolniki park, you can see the same style of landscape design: radially outgoing beam cuts from the central glades ... This is not surprising, because these parks have one author - M.P. Korzhev. By the way, he took part in the design of TsPKiO them. Gorky. This park is an integral part of the Elk Island National Park, it is a recreational zone that plays a buffer role. Today it is a stable biosystem, the habitat and nesting of rare birds and animals.

And you can continue the path with the edge of the park, leaving the territory of Khimmash Design Bureau on the left. After 500 m, we exit onto a small street along which past the buildings of TsNIIMASH and the Mission Control Center (MCC) we exit onto ul. Pioneer.

Further along the street Tereshkova go 700 m to the central square of the city of Korolev. Here in the building of the Palace of Culture you can visit the Museum of the History of Korolev.
From the square, on the street Kalinina we leave on the Station square (600 m from the central square). From here you can leave for Moscow by bus to metro VDNH (
