Eagle sculpture

What a resort city of the Caucasian Mineral Waters can do without a sculpture of a majestic eagle. In Mineralnye Vody, this bird meets all guests on the forecourt. Almost every tourist knows that an eagle with spread wings, holding a snake in its claws, symbolizes the victory over diseases.

An eagle was erected in the 20th century from bronze. Since then, the sculpture has not undergone any changes and today it pleases the eye of everyone who comes to Mineralnye Vody. Tourists are very fond of taking pictures near Orel - the symbol of the whole Caucasus. What does the eagle look like, see the photo.

Every tourist should know

During their visit to Mineralnye Vody, tourists should not miss the opportunity to visit the Tersky stud farm, located at the foot of Zmeyka Mountain. It was built in 1880 by decree of Count S. A. Stroganov, who made attempts to breed Arabian horses in Russia. Until that moment, he tried several times to get a "foreign horse" into the country, but to no avail. Then he began to look for a territory that would resemble the natural habitat of the animal, and his choice fell on Mineral waters.

Coups and wars negatively affected the development of the stud farm, in the mid-twentieth century the number of horses sharply decreased, but did not disappear completely. It was at this factory that a new breed of horses — Terskaya — was bred. Today, the Tersky stud farm holds animal exhibitions and international auctions. Animal connoisseurs have the opportunity to admire the noble animals, as well as ride them.

Official site of the city Mineralnye Vody.

In a specially protected resort region of Russia (Caucasian Mineral Waters), which is located in the Stavropol Territory, there is a small town - Mineralnye Vody. The name of the settlement carries comprehensive information, although in the city itself there are no sources of healing water.

But this place attracts tourists with a dry, warm climate, a large number of sunny days, which made it possible to have a complex of medical institutions and many hotels. The sights here are not those for which it would be especially worth coming. But still in the Minvody there is something to see between medical procedures and relaxation.

And since Mineralnye Vody is a large transport hub with an airport and a railway station, from here you can take fascinating excursions around.
