Ecology

The ecological situation on Lake Shartash cannot be called favorable: in the past, water was poured into it from a nearby granite quarry, which is why a considerable amount of heavy metal compounds has accumulated in the bottom sediments. In addition, in the 90s of the XX century, dirty snow from the city was repeatedly taken out to the reservoir in winter. The lake is also polluted with garbage, which is left behind by vacationers and fishermen (especially on the ice in winter), according to some reports, in some places its bottom is already littered with order.

sights

Shartash stone tents

Geomorphological and historical and cultural natural monument, which is also a popular recreation place for residents of Yekaterinburg. It is a rather impressive rock complex of horizontally located granite boulders, rounded in the process of weathering - 25 meters in height (together with an earthen rampart, the height of the rocks themselves is 12 m). Shartash stone tents are known to people from the distant past - the earliest archaeological finds date back to the third millennium BC - at these times the rock complex was a cult place. Also, stone tents are known for the fact that before the revolution, meetings and May Day of workers and Bolsheviks were held there.

Shartash megaliths

Some archaeological studies carried out on the eastern and southeastern shores of the lake indicate a clear human intervention in the local rock landscape in order to erect structures that were probably of cult significance. Researchers have found traces of stone processing, for all that, they are precisely characteristic of ancient times. This territory has not yet been assigned a special status.

Alexander moat

The remains of an artificially dug canal, through which in the 19th century they repeatedly tried to drain Lake Shartash - by draining its waters into the Pyshma River. This project was never implemented.

Fishing on the Shartash lake

Fishing spots

You can fish all over the lake - both from the shore and from a boat, but recently the northern part of the reservoir has been the most popular among fishermen.

Fishing features

Despite environmental problems and strong fishing pressure, fish in Shartash Lake are found in considerable quantities, and by no means small - thanks to a good food base. True, it requires a certain "approach" to itself, as in any city, often visited reservoir, which somewhat complicates fishing.

The easiest way is to catch a small perch and roach on the lake (which is quite good in size here), well, even a ruff, which has become rare lately. But the bream fisherman needs to know the special places on the lake - where his object of fishing is usually concentrated, and the season should be taken into account, because the Shartash bream is inclined to migrate from winter to summer (by the way, other fish also do not neglect this). Nevertheless, fishermen who know well the reservoir almost never return with empty cages, and it is common for them to catch a dozen kilograms of silver “plywood” in a day (the largest bronze handsome bream, as a rule, peck at night). A lot here also depends on the tackle - a well-tuned feeder works best for bream - in summer, and a winter float rod - in freeze-up.

The next after bream in terms of fishing frequency is pike-perch, which not so long ago formed a stable population in the lake. But at the moment, he, together with the perch, are actually the only predators that spinningists catch. There is a pike in Shartash, but in small quantities and is distinguished by increased "learning" - it does not bite on artificial baits, only on live bait, and then mainly in the fall - when it has the most active zhor.

Crucian carp, carp, tench - are in fishing cages, but not as often as we would like, but sometimes the size of the caught specimens is amazing (for example, carp, reaching almost one and a half pounds of weight). Whitefish have hardly been caught lately, although there used to be fishers who specialized in them, in particular, on the ripus (among the city fishermen, these had the honorable nickname “ripus”).

Recreation centers

The recreational infrastructure on the lake is quite developed - beach complexes, several recreation centers (the most famous are Shartash, Peski) and a boat station have been erected on its shores.

How to get there (get there)

West coast (Cape Runduk, via Blucher)

Anyone who found this churchyard can consider - lucky! There are babies and elders with ancient names. A typical Old Believer cemetery, which was discovered by chance. Few have been written about it, and one might think that it does not exist at all. However, in a small forest of two or three dozen trees, there are dozens of graves. One of the days of the dying Ural summer, I went on an excursion to this sad place ...

Yekaterinburg, the vicinity of Lake Shartash. The place is significant - the first Ural Old Believers once settled here, founded sketes. They said that the officials of that "beginning" Yekaterinburg tried not to interfere here - they understood that the people here believe in a special way, work conscientiously and categorically do not want to deal with the authorities. Today one can talk about Shartash endlessly, and a lot - with sadness, everything in the past tense. It had its own chapel, Archpriest Avvakum used to come here, Emperor Alexander the First stayed here, and there were sketes. Shartash Kerzhaks were even preparing to appoint their own bishop, but it did not happen. There were also graveyards, of course. They demolished everything, officials swept everything clean! And what Tsarist Russia did not "cleanse" was "finished off" by the power of the Soviets. And only one place miraculously escaped the skating rink of history, survived between several birches in a modern cottage village, which has grown like a dough by leaps and bounds over several decades. And that is true: a beautiful lake near the Ural metropolis, how not to choose it?

Walking around the reservoir with the intention to find at least something that would indicate the presence of the supporters of the Old Faith near Shartash, you can now erase more than one shoe. And if you don't know where to look for the only clue, you can just leave, disappointed. And this clue is a cemetery. Preserved among an islet of trees, in the thick of grass, where on a hot day clouds of midges swarm.

I found this churchyard only on the second attempt, having previously checked with all the available descriptions and street names. Lucky, of course. Or maybe these "humble bones" so silently prayed that they would know about them that they "shouted" to me?

And here it is - the Shartash cemetery forgotten by everyone. No, no, do not hope that now I will tell you something about centuries-old graves - the authorities destroyed them long ago, and, probably, other expensive mansions near the coast stand on the old bones of those who founded the local Old Believer villages. Therefore, we are left with only the very crumbs of heritage - the late Old Believer graves, dated, for the most part, by the years of the Great Patriotic War. Not because, of course, the local Old Believers and their descendants fought - however, this cannot be ruled out, but we have no such information - but only because people lived in that rear Sverdlovsk extremely badly. I think that's why they died. It was possible to sleep from any sore for a long time without having the necessary medicines, and the children were very bad. War, little food, extreme need for everything, poverty - that is why, probably, several babies lie in these graves. Here on one of the monuments we read: Korovina Galina Anatolyevna, 1940 - 1942; Purgin Mikhail Glebovich, 1941 - 1943 ... However, there are dates here that are much more impressive. Here, for example, Ichkov Grigory Ivanovich, 1877-1951.

The names and patronymics on the local tablets and on the crosses are almost all completely out of date: Leonid Serapionovich, Ustin Pavlovich, Agripina Afanasyevna. And somehow you involuntarily wonder: who were these people? Born, for the most part, in the 19th century, they found Russia - an empire, a tsar - on the throne, survived the revolution, learned the Civil War and met the formation of the country of the Soviets.

Some words are carved on one of the monuments. I come closer and take them apart with considerable difficulty: "Christ rest, God, the soul of a deceased slave, where there is no sorrow, nothing, but eternal life." On the other - a quote from the Trisagion: "Holy God, holy mighty", on the third: "In this place the body of God's servant is buried." The inscriptions are so old and so dilapidated and faded that you rather not read them, but guess them.

Slowly I go around the graves, stumble in the tall grass, brush off the midges. When I go out to the gap among the trees, I am amazed - the cemetery adjoins exactly a wooden house, it is only five meters away. In the garden, the beds are guessed, music is heard. The day turned out to be hot, and the owners are resting ...

On the right, near the fence, which partially separates the necropolis from the road, I am amazed again: a couple of graves under the canopy of a bent birch are thrown with packages with household waste, a hill of construction waste. And although the cemetery is clearly abandoned, from time to time there are people here - in some places faded artificial flowers are attached, a couple of monuments are tinted.

There are also massive fences near the graves, and stone tombstones, wooden and metal crosses. It seems that there are also social activists who are not indifferent to the fate of the churchyard. From time to time they remember him in their articles ...

According to local historians, the first mention of this cemetery was recorded in 1831, the last burial - in 1955.

They say that at the end of the nineties of the last century, one could still see tombstones-chapels, one and a half meters high, faceted and hewn, with protruding high rollers. In the niches of these pillars, icons, often made of copper, were fixed.

These, of course, are the Golbtsy - special gravestones used by the Old Believers of the Russian North and the Volga region. The tradition has taken root in the Urals.

In the book by E. Bubnov "Russian wooden architecture of the Urals" there is such a description of the cemetery on Shartash: "Next to the stuffed cabbage there are very old dark greenish, mossy large crosses, also covered with a roof, the long slopes of which cover the entire cross, from which the silhouette of the cross resembles a dark silhouette of a monk wearing a hood. These crosses have a simple round stem without any thread. Here, over many graves on the ground, there are low log cabins made of thick and wide chipped and then hewn gaps or beams. On the gaps, gravestone inscriptions are entirely carved. These are the burials of the end of the last and the beginning of the present century.

In the center of the cemetery, several large gable roofs were built, hanging at the corners on four pillars. The roofs are raised to the height of an ordinary hut, only there are no walls in them. Walls are not needed. The roofs are covered with tombstones - these are family burials. Under the roofs, from the inside of the sewn gables, there are glazed icon cases with icons. "

The reader, of course, has already realized that none of the described attributes of the former "splendor" of the Shartash Old Believer cemetery have survived to this day. But it is our duty to remember this.

It is unlikely that a modern Old Believer has set foot here. Not because everyone is indifferent - rather, this place is too hidden from the eyes of strangers and few people know about it. Now you are familiar.

The village of Izoplit was founded in 1934. Its origin was associated with the construction of an insulating peat slab factory here. After the production of peat in the Zhulanovsky bog, the factory was closed, and a greenhouse was created on its territory. The development of the village went on in the 1950s-1970s. The buildings are dominated by 1- and 2-storey buildings, including 46 of them stone. The Isoplit Children's Sanatorium has been operating since 1969. […]

Shartash reveals his secrets At the end of October Leonid Evgenievich Volkov called me and offered to meet an interesting person. What Leonid Evgenievich offers, I always treat with special attention. Readers know him well, we periodically publish his author's materials. There are many more good words to say about him, now I will say only one [...]

Long before the founding of Yekaterinburg on the northern shore of Lake Shartash in the 17th century, a village was founded, more precisely - a settlement (settlement - from "relaxation", that is, the inhabitants of the settlements were de facto declared as "freer"). Here, supporters of the Ancient Orthodox Church who fled from Nikon's reforms, originally from the Nizhny Novgorod lands, who called themselves Kerzhaks - by the name of the Nizhny Novgorod river Kerzhen, settled for a long time.

Conservation area in the eastern part of Yekaterinburg, on the southern and southeastern shores of Lake Bolshoy Shartash. Adjacent to the Komsomolsky microdistrict (Kirovsky district). Adjacent to the KOR (Kirov wholesale market) in the south, includes and adjoins the villages of Peski and Izoplit. The composition of the forest is mixed. Both traditionally wild and urban vegetation are present.

In the eastern and southeastern sectors of the Shartashsky forest park, there are a number of objects of a completely unusual type and purpose. At first glance, they can be attributed to natural forms of relief (as noted on old and rare now maps), or to traces of human activity (for example, official archeology classifies them as quarries of the 19th and 20th centuries). However, the strict geometry of plans, multidirectional angles of cut granite walls, multi-meter joints of giant granite slabs, circular as in amphitheatres, carved multi-meter “seat” slabs and many other oddities speak of a possible cult background of these megalithic structures.

Rocks "Shartash Stone Tents" - geological, archaeological, historical natural monument.

“Stone Tents” are granite outlier rocks located near Lake Shartash in the Kirovsky district of Yekaterinburg. This is one of the most unusual, picturesque, monumental (and affordable!) Monuments of nature and ancient culture of the Middle Urals.

According to modern archaeological data, up to 10 settlements and sites of ancient people were located on the shores of Lake Shartash, the earliest of which date back to the III millennium BC and even to earlier periods. Moreover, these settlements possessed elements of an ancient religious cult and commodity production. Probably, the Stone Tents of Shartash were a kind of center, sacrificial site and "metallurgical base" of these ancient settlements. In any case, the stones have preserved traces of cults and industries to this day, despite the huge flow of visitors to the forest park and the low level of culture of behavior of some of them.
