Hiking routes on the Boulevard Ring. Boulevard Ring

The choice of a route on the boulevard ring for evening cycling rugs was obvious - I wanted to drive through the whole city, in the coolness of greenery, contemplating architectural beauty. In principle, it turned out, not counting several unforeseen nuances. For example, the rings of the rings between the boulevards in most cases were a bar of obstacles for a cyclist - underground transitions, stairs, squares and streets with a lively movement and traffic lights. The places had to bear a bike on themselves or roll the iron friend near. But there was one big indisputable plus - at any moment you can "park" on the grass or stay on a bench. By the way, the cycling on the route was practically noticed. Passersby react friendly - inferior the road and smile.
So, I started from Taganka, descended to the Yauzovsky Boulevard, proceeded along the Boulevard Ring to Gogol, went down, follow the temple of Christ the Savior, to the embankment, rolled with the breeze past the Kremlin and his reflection in the Moscow River, and from there returned home - on Taganka . I want to tell you a little about my mini-journey who took me just only 2 hours, oddly enough.

In fact, the boulevard ring is actually such and is not, it is rather similar to the horseshoe. Starting my run from the embankment of the Moscow River, it is embankment and ends. Yes, and inside his "ring" Cascade of Boulevards, it is also interrupted by crossing it streets and squares, as if giving the right to self-determination to each of its links. Such a breakdown of the ring is due to historically - before the line of the boulevards took place the wall of the "White City", and in those places where it interrupted was entitled to the city with a gate. The imprint of the story has been preserved in the names of these places: the Pokrovsky Gate, the Jaiz Gate, Nikitsky Gate, etc. Where the beginning and where the end of the boulevard rings - everyone decides for itself. But wherever you do not start the route of movement, all 10 of his segments will bring a lot of interesting things and everyone will definitely be able to find their pet.

Jaiz Boulevard. Here are only lindens and peaceful silence. There are few people, no children, lonely contemplates and sometimes "filmmakers" who loved this area for the preserved Moscow nature. And there is no little preserved here - which costs at least a house with a statue of Shakhtar and Koltleznitsa, famous for the film "Pokrovsky Gate". On two sides of the boulevard, the Moscow regions preserved their history cool climb up to the Pokrovsky Boulevard

The Pokrovsky Boulevard is a little lively of his fellow, but in fact, everything is also - trees, shops, walks. Here on a hot day covers the cool of the old Lipa, the dome of converging high above his head, and in a rainy day carefully closing from bad weather. The few inhabitants of this boulevard do not distract from the philosophical privacy. The proximity of noisy and densely populated plane turns this boulevard into an invaluable security island, because then the boulevard ring is noise, buzzing and sparkles.

Chistoprudny Boulevard: In winter, a free rink, in the summer he turns into a pond with swans and boats, as well as a restaurant on the water, sports complex, fountains, posters, street musicians, exhibitions, rallies, chess on a bench, petanque, children, tourists, goths, A monument to the Kazakh poet (rumored that he was delivered because the Kazakh embassy, \u200b\u200bwhich promised to sweep the territory at the monument), a monument to the Russian writer, the wonderful theater "Contemporary", Roland's cult cinema. This boulevard satisfies the needs of everyone here coming. And many people come: walking before and after performances, they roam in thought after work or just at the weekend, stroll lectures, make a promenade with their loved ones, with children.

Sretensky Boulevard In attempts to fit his "Pistochnaya" neighbor surprises from the first meters. At the foot of the head of his monument to Shukhov, the shops themselves, which are by their own monument - bronze facilities are called upon to immediately make a halt not so much to relax how much to consider in detail the design - tools, details of the engineer, recordings, recordings - all in bronze. Children are delighted. Adults too.

The Christmas Boulevard with this life-affirming name is actually abandoned. "Frozen" undeveloped, a quarreling mini amphitheater. Sorry. But at Boulevard, a view of a stunning monastery. It is already worth getting caught coffee and hang in this space-time portal.

Petrovsky Boulevard ... In 1812, this and building boulevard on it burned down. Together with all green plantings. For six years he was restored. By the way, it is not so easy to restore the flora to the fius. Therefore, walking on this boulevard, lift your head up and look at the trees. They were worth a big there to grow here.

Passionate boulevard, the widest of the entire boulevard rings, easily fit under his crowns and a playground and a cafe and three monuments. The most famous is a monument to Vysotsky, collecting fans of creativity Vladimir Semenovich. The boulevard stands out and the fact that, unlike its rectilinear fellow, it is divided into several tracks that build a variety of visitors into their secluded corners.

Tver Boulevard is the most aristocratic, historically was the place of walks and aristocracy meetings. "There were dates on it, we were shared by the news, gossiovili and started the necessary acquaintances." Today here in general, the same thing is the restaurant "Pushkin" on the left side obliges. Periodically pass photo exhibitions under open sky, urban holidays.

Nikitsky Boulevard ( honestly confess - this is my favorite - approx..) Having distinguished itself with a highlight - a narrow landscaped path leaving in a dead end of an openwork fence provokes at all means to go through it. The most unpredictable and atypical boulevard is Pushkin, Tolstoy and Gogol. The latter burned here the second volume of the "dead souls". Boulevard and today stands out and parked by the Utron car, the French cafe "Jacques-Jacques" and the British Pan "John Donn" with the tables almost on the roadway, to the European manner.
Gogol Boulevard, many consider it the most beautiful and difficult to argue with it. Boulevard is really distinguished by a special aesthetics. The owners here are artists who create and immediately hang out their masterpieces on metal stands and sincerely hope that someday this boulevard will become Moscow Montmartre. Wait and see.

In fact, the boulevard ring has its beginning and end. And it begins just with Gogol Bs and goes exactly in the opposite direction of this article. But in order to go through the whole route and go out as a result of the flickering reflections of lights in the Moscow-River, it is worth doing this path in the proposed direction.

Gogol Boulevard in Moscow is one of the most beautiful and historically valuable places of the capital of Russia. This boulevard enters the famous boulevard ring of Moscow, consisting of 10 boulevards. Square, also included in the boulevard ring, in the names of which there is the word "gate", are a kind of reminder defensive wall White city, on the site of which the boulevard ring was laid. It is the ideas of the architect V. Dolganova, who successfully embodied in life, gave to each boulevard of the Boulevard Ring of Moscow individuality. In 1978, the Boulevard Ring was declared a monument of garden-park art.

Gogol Boulevard begins from the area of \u200b\u200bthe Prechistensky gate and comes to the Arbat Gate Square. From the area of \u200b\u200bthe Prechistensky Gate and from Gogol Boulevard begins the Boulevard Ring of Moscow. From the side of the Boulevard on the area of \u200b\u200bthe Prechistensky Gate, the station of Kropotkinskaya metro station, named after Prince Peter Alekseevich Kropotkin, the former Jarm revolutionary, anarchism theorist, a famous scientist dedicated to the study of East Asia.

The history of Gogol Boulevard is very interesting. Until 1924, he was named Prechistensky because of the most carefully posted wall of a white city, which then stood on the place of the boulevard. The city himself was located on the steep coast of the creek, which was later taken to the underground tube. From Arbat Square to Kropotkin Square can be reached on trolleybus. It should also be noted that where the Gogol Boulevard and the Alley of the Sivtsev enemians are intersecting today, earlier his influx of a stream of Sivets flowed into the stream. He himself was distinguished by the fact that one shore was high, the other low. In the last century, many famous personalities were loved here: Gogol, Herzen, Turgenev.

The famous fire of 1812 did not bypass the Prechistensky Boulevard. Many buildings were destroyed, so the boulevard lost its original appearance, but soon it was almost completely restored. In 1880, the equestrian road was laid here, which took place through all the boulevard ring. In 1911, a tram "A" was put into place at the site of this road, i.e. Annushka, for a long time the only type of transport on the boulevard ring. The metro station on the Boulevard opened in 1935. At that time, she was called the Palace of Soviets and only since 1957 began to be called Kropotkinskaya.

The current name Boulevard received in 1924 during the celebrations of the 125th anniversary of the famous Russian writer N.V. Gogol. If you compare Gogol Boulevard with all the rest of Moscow's boulevards, it turns out that it ranks second in length. No less noteworthy is the fact that Gogol Boulevard is a three-stage, since its internal travel is located on the upper step, directly the boulevard - on medium, and the external passage is on the bottom. Such a relief of the boulevard was formed due to the fact that the stream of the shore was irrevocated at the height of the shore.

The Gogol Boulevard itself is a lot of secrets in himself, in particular, relating to architecture. Each side of the boulevard has its aesthetics, its own character, its individuality. Attracts the gaze of ancient mansion No. 5, erected for the Stat adviser secretary. Later, the house was occupied by the architect tone, who led the construction of the Church of Christ the Savior. In the 40s of the 20th century, the family of Vasily Stalin lived in this house. The house number 23 is very notable, it attracts tourists with stained-glass blades located between the windows of the fifth floor. In the summer, a day cannot be noticed in a clear doubt, as far as the color of the ceramic inserts is close to the color of the sky. A little bit in one of the courtyards can be seen a small church of the Apostle Philip, built in the 17th century.

The even side of the Gogol Boulevard is famous in that in almost every home there were either lived, or stopped famous people. So, in the house number 2 often spent the time A.S. Pushkin, and house number 6 was built specifically for the urban head S.M. Tretyakova, Brother of the famous PETSENTA P.M. Tretyakova. In 1929-1930, the house of artists was erected here, over the project of which a group of architects worked, including I. Leonidov, V. Vladimirov, M. Barsh and others. A bright example of Moscow classicism is Mansion No. 10 on Gogol Boulevard. Initially, the famous Decembrist M. Naryshkin was arrested in it. Today, walking in Gogol Boulevard, you can see the marble board with the image of the shackles intertwined by the Laurel branch, which was established in the memory of the Decembrists gathered here. Passing a little further, turning out to be near the house number 14, where the central chess club is now located. And in the 19th century, this building was a kind of center of the musical life of Moscow. The house was Shalyapin, Rachmaninov, glazing.

The symbol of Gogol Boulevard is a monument to N.V. Gogol, who has a long and ambiguous history.

Almost at the end of Gogol Boulevard there is a monument to M.Sholokhov, the project of which was developed by the sculptor A. Muzvishnikov. So far, the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe author is not visible completely, since the monument is under installation. Going across the road from Gogol Boulevard, we get into a quiet, quiet place. Here the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, built as a peculiar gratitude to the Lord God for the intercession in the fight against the Napoleonic invasion of 1812. If you go through the Gogol Boulevard back to the Prechistensky Gate, then another surprise awaits you: coming to the arch at the entrance to the boulevard, you will be surprised to find that the sky begins right behind it.

Gogol Boulevard appears in the literature, and in the movies. It is described in Moscow of the future Kira Boylchev, it is here that two scenes of the film "Moscow does not believe in tears" by the director Vladimir Menshov. The Gogolevsky Boulevard itself is a symbol of the merger of nature and civilization, because next to wooded areas, where even mushrooms can be collected, roads pass. It is confidently to declare that tourists are satisfied with the walk in Gogol Boulevard, because the spirit of history reflected in the ancient architecture is most concentrated here.

Our journey-walk will start from the Pavilion of the metro station Kropotkinskaya.

The route is prepared by project materials.

Boulevard Ring - The main urban promenade, a continuous sequence of 10 boulevards and 13 areas that are encircling history Center cities. Being one of the traditional rings of Moscow, in reality the boulevard ring is not closed and has the shape of the horseshoe, starting and ending near the embankments of the Moscow River.

The total length of the boulevard rings is about 9 kilometers, and each of his meter is literally erected in the cult: a walk through the boulevards, which are equipped with cozy green squares, is considered high-quality cultural leisure for citizens and one of the required points tourist program guests of the capital. The urban environment can boast a high-quality historical environment with old mansions, income houses and churches, and the length of the route is ideal for a long walk. In addition, exhibitions and urban festivals are often held on them, which makes the leisure of citizens even more interesting.

History of the boulevard rings

The boulevard ring is required by the Belgorod Wall, surrounding the Moscow White City in 16-18 centuries. Initially, the fortress wall was built for protection and had an important defense value, but at the end of the 18th century, when the city grew up, fully lost the relevance, and it was decided to disassemble it.

In the 1770-1780s, the walls and tower of the White City were disassembled, and in their place later laid boulevards and organized the square, many of which were kept in their names of the fortress gate: the area of \u200b\u200bPrechistensky Gate, Nikitsky Gate, Petrovsky Gate and others. However, the boulevard ring was not at once: the first Boulevard - Tver - was equipped in 1796; The last Pokrovsky Boulevard, part of which occupied the places of the Pokrovsky barracks, was finally liquidated only in 1954. In general, the Ring of Boulevards was after 1812.

In 1887, competitated by the Boulevard Ring, and in 1911 - electric tram. The ring route passed all the boulevards and closed on the Kremlin embankment, but it was not preserved to this day - the tram movement remained only on Chistoprudny, Pokrovsky and Jaiz boulevards.

Interestingly, in Soviet power, the boulevard ring almost became a ring physically: the general plan of Moscow reconstruction 1935 assumed that it would be extended in Zamoskvorechye and was closed, but later from the plan refused the lack of necessity. In 1947, in honor of the 800th anniversary of Moscow, the boulevards of Vitaly Dolganova were reconstructed on the architect project: instead of the old mesh fence, patterned cast iron hedges appeared, new shops were installed and more than 4 thousand trees and 13 thousand shrubs were planted.

Since 1978, the boulevard ring is recognized as a monument of garden-park art.

Among other things, the christmas boulevard has a positive cross in memory of the patroness of Moscow Rev. Euphrosinia, in the world - the Great Princess of Moscow Evdokia Dmitrievna, and in Gogol Boulevard - a few small concrete sculptures depicting animals from Russian fairy tales.

In fact, the boulevard ring has not so much recreational as cultural significance for the city. Because of the large number of cars on both sides of each boulevard, lively crossings and even tunnels on the squares between them and other nuances, with whom the residents of the metropolis have to put up, a walk along the modern boulevard ring may not like everyone.
