If you have never been to Zheleznovodsk, I strongly recommend doing it, and as quickly as possible. Autumn, speak? Nonsense, since in Zheleznovodsk the recreation season never ends. Here are resting in winter and summer. No, in these places the air temperature is not held within twenty degrees all year round, just people go here in order to correct their health, relax and admire the stunning nature. What I liked it in Zheleznovodsk so this is what you can relax with children. Our three-year-old son has no health problems, but the prevention and general strengthening of the body still prevented anyone. Think that this is a small resort village where and go nowhere and see what? Oaky! Yes, I can't call the Zhegranovodsk mega, I can not, but everything is created here for a comfortable stay of ordinary people. There are cafes, clubs, restaurants, entertainment centers and cinemas. If you and this seems not enough, you can always go into the next Pyatigorsk. Time to such a journey will leave quite a bit, about half an hour on the way on the minibus number of two hundred fourteen and you are already in place. Although in Zheleznovodsk itself, there is something to see. I'll write about this now, and you will read the suitcases with one hand.
Cascading staircase . This attraction, which, by the way, is one of the main, appeared here in the thirties of the twentieth century. And it appeared here at all is not just for beauty. The fact is that during the observations, the fact that a fairly large number of healing mineral water, which is produced here, is not fully used, since it flows on the slopes of the Mountain of the Iron and during such a runoff, it is very polluted What makes it practically not suitable for anything. So the idea appeared, create a tray in which this water would have been going. But from the idea, a very real project was already born, called the "Alley of Cascades". Unfortunately, any natural resource, has its limits and healing mineral water is no exception. To date, the water is no longer descended over these cascade stairs, but it does not prevent resting walking on these places. In addition to stairs, local fountains are not functioning, of which mineral water has previously been beaten, but you can admire wonderful sculptures, which will surely enjoy both children, because it is the sculptures of the hostess of the copper mountain, the nymphs, Danil-Masters and printed frogs. In addition, on the length of the entire staircase, decorative lights are installed and neat charming flower beds are broken, which makes a cascading staircase with a magnificent place for hiking.
Pushkin Gallery . This place is considered to be one of the main characters of this resort. It is quite easy to find the gallery because it is located on a parking lot in the Medical Park on the Central Alley. The author of this masterpiece with bizarre architectural forms is Stephen Schiller, who was known as the Great Warsaw architect and architectural academician. Over the sketches, which make scenes and visual halls, the artist I. Krylov worked. The designs of iron for this gallery were made at the St. Petersburg metallic factory, and colored decorative glasses were ordered at the enterprise of the Warsaw Firm "Gostynsky and K". In total, there are two halls in the gallery building. One hall is relatively small, because initially it was designed to hold exhibitions in it. The second room, somewhat more than the first one, so it is designed for seven hundred places, and it was in this room that such outstanding people were once played as Actress V. F. Commissioner, Tragic Mammont Dalsky and many other no less famous actors. Pushkin Gallery, is a valid and regularly undergo such cultural events such as poetic evenings, presentations, concerts and so on. Next to the galleries, is the Pushkin Square, who decorates the sculpture of the greatest poets. Visit the Gallery, you will probably like a small room, because it can be found about the life and work of the great Russian poet.
Sculpture of Eagle . I do not know remember you or not this sculpture. We had it at home, though in the miniature - the eagle, which glowed in the dark, as it partly consisted of phosphorus. I am very clearly remember that I was looking forward to the moment when the evening comes, the grandmother will turn off the light and it will be possible to observe the present miracle - the glowing eagle and this is all despite the fact that there were no light bulbs and wires were not conducted to it. Remembered? My grandmother, in the days of my youth, often rested and corrected my health in the sanatoriums, and she probably brought this home eagle with him from another visit as a souvenir, unfortunately to clarify and ask her from where this eagle took us, I did not I can since your grandmothers have not been with us. The sculpture in the original can be seen in Zheleznovodsk along Lermontov Street in the Medical Park on the square, which is located in front of the Smirnov source. This sculpture is a symbol of Caucasian Mineral Waters.
I will try to describe it. The eagle with open wings stands on a mountain of large stones and serves the snake with its claws. Eagle in this composition is the personification of power, health and strength. As you already guessed, the eagle is healing mineral waters, and the snake is of course illness and ailments. We developed this sculptural composition to the century of the anniversary of this resort region, and it was discovered in May one thousand nine hundred and first year. Initially, the whole composition was made of cement, but this material has not proven itself to strength and resistance to weather, sometimes unfavorable conditions. As a result, the sculpture was constantly spoiled and needed frequent restoration. Wraping with recovery work, the eagle sculpture, decided to cast out of bronze, which was immediately in one thousand nine hundred seventy-third year. This is not the only sculpture of the eagle and its twins, you can see in Kislovodsk, Pyatigorsk and in Essentuki.
