Moscow beaches are a purely internal affair of Muscovites. In the sense that Moscow is not a resort, and tourists do not come here for swimming and tanning. Nobody, of course, restricts the entrance to the beaches for strangers, but what to do on a Moscow beach for a Volzhan or a resident of the Black Sea region, accustomed to wide shores, vast beaches and large water. The exception will probably be something unusual for the majority. There is such a thing in Moscow.

Nudist beaches in Moscow

There are three nudist beaches in Moscow.

Beach in "Serebryany Bor". The most popular of Moscow's nudist beaches. If you get by land, you can take trolleybuses 86, 20 and 65 to the terminal station. From there, follow an ecological path that leads to two bridges. From them you can already turn to the river, to its right bank. The beach is chastely enclosed by a high fence, but the entrance was left free. For vacationers on the beach there is a volleyball net, and catering points with drinks and light snacks. There are no undressing booths, but in fact, who needs them there. There are two categories of vacationers wandering along the beach - naked and clothed. The first ones bathe and sunbathe, and the second ones look at the first ones. Swimming on it is officially prohibited, the beach is wild and littered.

For your information! The left bank was captured by homosexuals vacationing. The administration of the beach is fighting them, although gays are not swimming naked, but in bathing shorts. Formally, there is no reason to disperse homosexuals, so the methods of struggle are peculiar. On the left bank, fir trees and other trees are being intensively planted. The dense vegetation will keep gays off the beach, according to city officials.

Swan Lakes is the second most popular nudist beach among Muscovites. Exceptionally picturesque place at the confluence of the Moskva River and the Stroginskaya Poima. You can get there from the Shchukinskaya metro station by bus 638. You need to go to the water ski stadium. It is even easier to rent a boat on the Serebryany Bor beach and take a ride to the opposite coast.

Borisov ponds - a huge landscape park and recreation area, located on the banks of the pond of the same name in the south of Moscow.

Borisovsky Pond is located on the Gorodnya River and is considered the largest pond in Moscow: its area is 86 hectares, while it includes several streams, so it is usually mentioned in the plural, although in fact there is only one pond.

Its main advantage is magnificent natural landscapes, however, the advantages do not end there: the park has sandy and grassy beaches (on the northern and southern shores), 4 football and 8 volleyball fields, 10 tennis courts, a skate park, and more than 8 kilometers of bike paths (in winter they turn into ski tracks). At the service of vacationers there are about 40 picnic points (gazebos with barbecues) located in different parts of the park, and playgrounds are provided for children. Despite the variety of sports and beach infrastructure, the park is suitable not only for lovers of sports and outdoor activities, but also for "quiet" vacationers: there is enough space for solitude on a huge territory.

Perches, crucians and carps are found in the pond, so its shores are chosen by fishermen.

It is worth noting that Borisovskie Ponds is a recreation area without swimming, and although there are high-quality beaches on the banks of the pond, swimming in it is prohibited. The shores are patrolled by police and search and rescue personnel.

The history of Borisov ponds

Borisov Pond on the Gorodnya River has been known since the 16th century, when these lands belonged to Tsar Boris Godunov. By the name of the tsar, the pond is called Borisovsky, earlier it was also called Tsarevoborisovsky and Tsareborisovsky.

In the past, on the bank of the pond, there was the village of Borisovo, whose inhabitants were engaged in fishing and gardening: valuable fish were bred in the pond, which later fell on the tsar's table, and the gardens brought a lot of income to the village, so it was considered prosperous. At the end of the 19th century, a school and a library were opened in the village, which were visited not only by local residents, but also by "guests" from neighboring villages. During the Soviet years, the village was transformed into the Krasnye Voskhody collective farm, which existed until the 1960s.

To date, there is no trace of the village of Borisovo on the banks of the pond, however, the remains of rural and collective farm apple orchards are still preserved.

In 1983-1984 and 2007-2008, the pond was drained to clean and strengthen the banks. Since 2011, work has been underway to improve the territory, thanks to which the park has acquired a developed infrastructure.

The Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in Borisov and the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity at Borisov Ponds are also located near the Borisov Pond.

It is worth noting that on weekends and holidays, picnic spots attract a large number of drunks and various cattle, which thump, piss on everything standing upright and leave behind a significant amount of garbage. The park is cleaned with high quality, however, being close to such companies is extremely unpleasant, so it is best to visit Borisovskie ponds on weekdays, when the amount of cattle is minimal, or to choose places for recreation away from picnic spots.

Park "Borisovskie Prudy" located on the banks of the pond of the same name in the areas of Orekhovo-Borisovo Severnoye and Moskvorechye-Saburovo. You can get to it on foot from metro stations "Borisovo" Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line and "Orekhovo" Zamoskvoretskaya.

Borisov ponds (the former name of Tsarevoborisovsky or Tsareborisovsky pond) is a reservoir that began its history in the distant 16th century. It got its name from the legendary Boris Godunov. He and his sister Irina owned the land on which the pond is located. In this article, we will talk about the history of Borisov ponds in Moscow.

The reservoir is located simultaneously on the territory of several districts:

• Orekhovo-Borisovo North;
• Moskvorechye-Saburovo;
• Brateevo.

In 1998 Borisovskie Ponds became part of the Tsaritsyno Natural and Historical Park.

An excursion into history

For the first time in the archives, Borisov ponds appear in 1600. The reservoir was formed when the Godunovskaya dam was created on the Gorodnya River, and it was located on the territory of the village. Borisovo.

The construction order was given by Boris Fedorovich Godunov. Scribe books store information that in 1627-1628 the reservoir bore the name of Tsar. There was a stone dam and a mill.

• One interesting fact is known from the archives. In 1767, Catherine, passing by the village. Borisovo stopped here for a rest. The queen was settled in a traveling wooden palace. When the great ruler admired the pond, she saw a cross that glittered at the top of the temple. She asked what it was. She was told that behind the forest there is a village with the wonderful name Black mud. And in the village there is a temple, the dome of which shines in the sun. Eight years passed and the village began to be called Tsaritsyn.

• In the XVII-XIX centuries on the left side of the reservoir there was a place with a strange name - the reserved forest of the Zarazy tract. In fact, in Old Slavic "infection" means "steep bank, cliff".

• In 1860, a merchant named Gampson built a paper mill here.

Fishing and apple orchard

In with. Borisov peasants caught fish and served them to the tsar's table; there was also a huge apple orchard on the territory. In the archives, data remained that the people who followed the pond and garden were paid not with money, but with land plots. Gardening and fishing brought good money to the village. People lived well here. At the end of the 19th century, the village even had its own school and library. For knowledge in the village. Borisovo drove from neighboring villages.

In the USSR, the village was turned into a collective farm called Krasnye shoots. It lasted until the 1960s. Today, there is not a trace of the famous village, only apple trees, of which there are a lot, remind of the collective farm.

The territory of the pond was officially annexed to Moscow only in 1960. In the 70s, the island was artificially created. Two bridges, the Lower and the Upper Borisovskie, were launched through it. The bridges divided the forest into two: Shipilovsky and Borisovsky. Since then, it has become customary to call the body of water in the plural. Borisovskie ponds in 1998 by the decree of the government were included in the natural-historical park "Tsaritsyno".

Dimensions of the park and reservoir

The reservoir is considered the largest pond in Moscow. It covers an area of ​​86 hectares. Now there is a park around the reservoir, which occupies 237 hectares. It surrounds the reservoir from all sides. Here it is:

• 4 football fields;
• 8 volleyball fields;
• 10 tennis courts;
• skate park;
• 8 kilometers of bike paths;
• 40 picnic spots;
• playgrounds.

In winter, the latter are turned into a ski track. There are beaches on the northern and southern shores. They are comfortable and clean, but Rospotrebnadzor forbids swimming here. Lifeguards and police are on duty in the park. On the banks of the pond, fishermen catch:

• perch;
• carp;
• crucian carp.

Not so long ago, grass carp was launched into the pond. His mission is to fight algae thickets that quickly multiply in the water. Fishing is not prohibited, but you can see signs urging fishermen to release grass carp into the wild to carry out a special assignment.

Church on Borisov ponds

As a village with a church, Borisovo was first mentioned in the receipt books of the patriarchal order for 1628. The first wooden church was dedicated to St. Nicholas.

Information that there was a church in Borisov dates back to 1628. The temple was erected in honor of St. Nicholas. The wooden structure was destroyed. Later, the Church of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity was built very close to the reservoir. The exact date of its creation has not been preserved in history. The temple was located very inconveniently, since it was adjacent to the cemetery, which is unacceptable according to sanitary standards. In addition, many dams created during the construction of the Tsaritsyno palace complex provoked a strong rise in water.

The white-stone temple gradually began to collapse, and it was decided to build a new one, which is clearly visible from the Kashirskoye highway. The old temple functions to this day. The new shrine will be discussed further.

In honor of the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus in 1988, in the area of ​​Borisov ponds, a stone was laid for the construction of the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity. The construction of the shrine began in 2000. It took 4 years to create.

The temple was created as a complex, that is, conciliarly. It has the status of the Patriarchal Court. On the territory there are:

• Temple;
• house of clergy;
• children's music school;
• three chapels.

Moscow Mayor Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov attracted a lot of attention to the creation of the temple. The construction was carried out by the Baltic Construction Company. It was led by Igor Alexandrovich Naivalt.

The temple is a cruciform structure with one dome. The shrine is made in the Byzantine style. The blue color of the domes is a symbol of the powers of the Angels and the Mother of God. Up to 4000 people can enter the temple at the same time.

On the façade of the shrine there are porcelain tiles painted with gold. The work was headed by Yuri Volkotrub - head of the workshop "Guild of Masters". The icons were painted by the team of Vasily Nesterenko. The general process was supervised by the Expert Council, which was headed by Bishop Frolov.

From the icons located in the church, one can read the entire thousand-year history of the Russian Orthodox Church. Here are all the images of especially revered saints.

I would especially like to note the extraordinary iconosotas. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is made of ceramics combined with marble. The first here are the icons of Princess Olga and Vladimir as a tribute to the baptists of Russia.

How to get there?

The park and the reservoir can be reached by metro. You can get to Borisovskie ponds from the Kashirskaya station by buses 738, 740. Muscovites love this place very much and call it “Bariks”. The address of Borisovskiye Prudy for those who will get there by car: Moscow, st. Borisov ponds.

The history of the Russian state does not say much about the remarkable leader who reigned on the border of the 16th and 17th centuries. The noble boyar, brother-in-law of Tsar Fyodor I Ioannovich, the young oprichnik of Ivan the Terrible did a lot for the Russian state and its capital. But fate was such that he could not form a new dynasty. The Romanov dynasty, which reigned for more than 200 years, does not often remember Boris Godunov. But he lives in the memory of the city.

The history of Borisov ponds

Not everyone will remember that the garden ring appeared thanks to the decree of Boris Godunov. Also, the largest reservoir in the metropolis is named after the king. The memory of his deeds passed through the centuries. In the vicinity of Moscow on the lands of the ruler, a palace estate was built, and next to it a cascade of ponds was formed: Borisovsky, Shipilovsky, Verkhnetsaritsynsky.

At times of troubles the estate was devastated, and the area became depopulated. Only by 1620 did the peasants return to these lands. Godunov was gone, and a new dynasty reigned. But from the Borisov fisheries, crucian carp, pike, bream, roach were delivered to their table. For more than two centuries the fish industry has been developing here.

Over time, it was abandoned, since with the advent of the new Soviet regime, the crafts were no longer needed. The ponds were slowly, until 1983, silted up and died. Today you can get here by metro. Borisov ponds have found a second life.

Rebirth of ponds

The capital expanded rapidly. From the suburban area, reservoirs fell into the city limits. In 1983, it was decided to clean the reservoirs and strengthen the banks. Already in the 21st century, it was decided to develop the park zone of the Borisov ponds. The Borisovskoye metro, opened in 2011, made this area accessible to a large number of tourists.

Today, reservoirs are part of the Southern Administrative District and stretch along the bed of the Earth are located on the territory of two Moscow districts and border on the third. This is the largest water mirror of the metropolis - 86 hectares and an average depth of 2.5 m.

From the west, the cascade passes through the Shipilovskaya dam into the Lower Tsaritsyn pond. In the east, the nearest metro station “Borisovo” is located to the Borisov ponds, from the west “Tsaritsyno”, from the south - “Orekhovo”.

Rest zone

Today the area around the reservoir is well equipped. The presence of the metro near Borisovskie ponds made them attractive for beach lovers. A path has been built around the reservoir, which is used for walking and cycling. In winter, a ski track makes its way along the coast. The hilly terrain allows the construction of children's slides.

In the southwestern part of the zone, there is a large park - Borisovskie ponds. The nearest metro station "Orekhovo" is located just 500 meters away. To the services of vacationers in the park:

From the northwest, you can get there by train. The Tsaritsyno metro station is located close to the Borisovskie ponds. Passing the park of the same name, you can approach the Shipilovskaya dam.

Tsaritsyno Park itself covers an area of ​​more than 100 hectares and is a specially protected natural area. The reconstructed Catherine's palace and park ensemble has become one of the most visited places by tourists and residents of the city. The most important monument of the Russian Gothic style delights with its architectural monuments. It is believed that this is the pinnacle of creativity of the great Russian architect V.I.Bazhenov.

Borisovskie prudy street

The name of the tsar continues to live on in the names of the city of Moscow. In honor of his creation, a street was named, originating from the Kashirskoye highway, passing through the old village of Borisovo, crossing the Besedinskoye highway. Available metro stations on Borisovskie Prudy Street are Borisovo, Alma-Atinskaya.

The street began to function on March 14, 1964. Today it is a modern highway connecting the Brateevo residential area with the coastline of the cascade. The metro does not go into the microdistrict itself, but by ground transport you can easily get to the stations Orekhovo, Nagatinskaya, Bratislavskaya, Lyublino, Shipilovskaya. Leaving Borisovskie Prudy Street, which metro to choose depends on the purpose of the further trip.

Thus, the name of the tsar, who ruled more than 400 years ago, was reflected in his affairs and preserved in the names of Moscow.
