Almost all the pictures for this post were ready at the end of October, but I never got around to processing and composing them.
By area Savelovskaya road From Yakhroma to Iksha, part of the Moscow Ring Railway - BMO route runs. In addition, we will see the stations Bely Rast, Ivantsevo and some other stopping points and platforms.

Bely Rast is a station on the LMC. Almost all road services are located here. But recently, major work has been planned here. However, for now this is just talk.

The platforms are in excellent condition, but passenger traffic here is minimal, the village of the same name is quite far away, and the platform is mainly used by employees of the Moscow Railway. No wonder - passenger traffic at LMC it was almost always “technological”.

Track development of Bely Rast station

Next stopping point— 109 km. It is located almost under the bridge with Dmitrovskoye Highway. A quaint staircase descends from the road. I wonder whose inquisitive mind designed it and then embodied it in metal and concrete?

There has always been one path from Bely Rasta to Iksha, but there is room for a second path under the overpass.

There are quite a few such platforms on BMO. This particular one is designed to deliver personnel to the nearest traction substation. Well, at the same time, residents of neighboring houses use it.

Connecting with the main passage, the BMO path runs parallel to it until Iksha station. In the next photo: the far one is the path to Dmitrov, the middle one is the path to Moscow, and the right one is the BMO path.

On the outskirts of Iksha, another PPZhT track adjoins them

Passenger platforms at Iksha station

The 1st platform receives trains from BMO (left track) and transit trains to Moscow (right track), and the 2nd platform receives trains from/to Iksha (left track) and transit trains from Moscow (right track).

Trains go to Iksha not only from Savelovsky station, but also from the Belorussian direction: Zvenigorod, Kubinka. According to Yandex.Timetables, you can get from Kubinka to Iksha by train through BMO and through Moscow, and the travel time is approximately the same, 2 hours 30 minutes.

Formally, passenger service by BMO trains is interrupted in Iksha. Trains from the northern half-ring do not go to Dmitrov. But trains ran from Naugolny to Savyolovsky station in the summer. But in 2009, not a single such train ran from/to BMO. Morozki platform.

For some reason, the Tourist platform is painted in the signature (blue-gray) colors of the Yaroslavl direction.

Once on the train I heard a woman say to her interlocutor on the phone:
- yes, I’m going to Drachevo... but what else can you do there!
Although with a greater degree of probability this name comes from the pugnacious disposition of the inhabitants :)

"Garden Ring road. Manege. Arbat.
So much noise, and so much prose.
I like Neskuchny Garden better,
His aspens and his birches" (Sergey Bozin)

Boring Garden - landscape park in Moscow, preserved from the Neskuchnoye noble estate. Located on the right bank of the Moscow River, it is considered as part of Gorky Park.

This largest park V historical center Moscow. Together with natural reserve"Sparrow Hills" and the ground part of the Central Park of Culture and Culture named after. Gorky forms a single natural complex along the right bank of the central part of the Moscow River.

Not far from the entrance from Leninsky Prospekt, the sculpture “Autumn” from Vuchetich’s workshop was recently installed. The hand languidly thrown behind the head reminded me personally of the pose of a monkey scratching its right ear with its left hand.

There’s not much to see in the park, we’ll just go over the main attractions. Before us is the “Hunting Lodge” - a rotunda from the mid-18th century, where the TV game “What? Where? When?"

Somewhere in the thickets we found these caryatids. Caryatids are Atlantean women who, for lack of hands, hold some kind of heavy crap on their heads.

Rotunda in honor of the 800th anniversary of Moscow. The opening of the monument took place in 1951; the rotunda is presented in the form of a small white stone gazebo, which inside is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting important historical events related to the city and country.

One of the bas-reliefs depicts the Moscow armed uprising and the organization of the first fighting squads of the proletariat in Moscow, and another one depicts the capture of the Kremlin by the Red Guard and the establishment of Soviet power in Moscow.

It was here that in former times the group of Tolkienists “Eglador” gathered, and the entire gazebo was painted with their elven inscriptions, such as: “Arwen Undomiel”, “Kirdyk to Sauron”, “Spartak the champion”, “Vovik was here”, “Ass” .

If you write your name and the name of your loved one on paper, fold it several times and bury it in the ground near the rotunda-gazebo and fountain, then your loved one will certainly pay attention to you. And if right here at dawn you shout loudly to the East three times: “Don’t fly, Nazgul!”, then they really won’t fly.

The St. Andrew's and Elizabeth's ponds were cleaned for the last time when Isildur, with a piece of Narsil, cut off the finger of the Universal Enemy and took possession of the One Ring. Or maybe even earlier.

Below we see the Summer (Tea) House of Count Orlov. In 1796, Count Alexey Grigorievich Orlov laid out an “English garden” and built on the edge high hill above the river there is a small pavilion, which later received the name Summer.

With one facade it closed the upper part of the park, and from the balcony of the other there was a view of the panorama of the south of Moscow - from the Kremlin to the Sparrow Hills. Directly in front of the house, the park sloped steeply down the slope, and at the bottom a pond was dug, another “Bath” pavilion and a romantic “mysterious” grotto were built.

During the stay of the royal family in Moscow, the neighboring Alexandrinsky Palace, and the Summer House until 1917 was used for outdoor tea drinking by members of the imperial family.

I didn’t take pictures of the bath pavilion and the grotto; the first one is boarded up and wrapped in green cloth, and the second one is dirtied beyond belief. But Tea house It looks neat, and we even found a piano inside.

The pianos in the park are generally fine. Several years ago, a piano cemetery was established not far from the house.
- Lyusk, and Lyusk, I bought you a piano! Where will we put it?
- So right away in Neskuchny Garden, that’s what all the lads do.

Neskuchny Garden was formed in the first half of the reign of Nicholas I from noble estates that previously belonged to the Trubetskoys (in the south), the Golitsyns (in the center) and the Orlovs (in the north). From the point of view of landscape gardening art, the most significant Northern part, which belonged to Count Orlov-Chesmensky and his daughter Anna at the beginning of the 19th century.

Since 1831, Neskuchny Garden became the property of Nicholas I. More precisely, at first only a part. The Palace Department acquired the Neskuchnoye estate from the Shakhovskys in November 1826.

But the tsar was able to buy the Golitsyn property only in 1842 - the harmful N.P. Golitsyna ("Queen of Spades") categorically refused to sell the plot, and even inserted into her will that it could be sold only 5 years after her death. And only then all three parts were combined and the current Neskuchny turned out.

Under the Summer House between the Elizavetinsky Pond and the embankment we see the statue “Diver” by Ivan Shadr, primarily famous for his sculpture “Girl with an Oar”.

At the feet of the “Diver” there were two sculptures of “Pioneers”, which are popularly called “Fisherwomen”.

A fisherman in a red tie, and judging by his adult face, a repeated repeat student, looks at the fish with undisguised disgust.

There are several “Grotesque” bridges in Neskuchny. Three bridges go down from the Manege, which houses the A. Fersman Mineralogical Museum, and cross the ravine one after another.

They say that lovers who walk across the bridge holding hands will never part, and those who kiss while standing on it will live together in constant peace and harmony. And if the ancient, worn-out bridge collapses under them, they will die in one day.

The squirrels here are so tame and love to pose for the photographer so much that it is very difficult to choose the most interesting one out of five hundred photographs.

A building rises to a great height above Neskuchny Russian Academy Sci.

The Academy is divided into two equal parts like a trace from a giant saw.

At its foot is the tiny St. Andrew's Monastery.

This is the most inconvenient monastery I know for photography. He is not visible from anywhere.

Near the monastery they built all sorts of elite houses, which they moved into needed by the country People.

It is worth noting the masterly ingenious work of local gardeners - the entire area around these houses is overgrown with “Giant Hogweed” - one of the most poisonous plants in the middle zone.

We are separated from the Metrobridge only by Andreevsky Ponds, which are surprisingly clean. There are now secluded benches around where you can kiss, smoke, drink drinks straight from your throat and even swear.

Well, we will go down to real water, to the Moscow River.

Once upon a time, we went here after school to swim and dived right from this place.

It was such a show-off: swim out onto the fairway and, amid the squeals of frightened girls, dodge a huge barge at the last moment. On the left we see the Moscow State University building.

Well, on the right, very far away, we see the tall “Peter” Tsereteli and even further - the bell tower of Ivan the Great in the Kremlin.

Neskuchnoye Estate- a unique historical place within the boundaries of modern Moscow, located on the right bank of the Moscow River. Coastline The Moscow River was strengthened, new alleys were laid in the park, exhibition pavilions and fountains were installed, the Green Theater and others were built concert venues, and for kids they installed all kinds of attractions, organized children's and sports grounds. But even now many ancient buildings have been preserved, which are now the main ones.

Before Neskuchnoye estate in the 18th century it passed into the palace department; on its territory there were three family estates of the nobility. "Were founded here" family nests» aristocrats Trubetskoys and Golitsyns, Zubovs and Serikovs, Shakhovskys and Orlovs, Vyazemskys and Repnins, as well as other richest noble families of the Russian Empire. It is believed that the name “Neskuchnoye” was assigned to the ancient estate thanks to Prince Trubetskoy, who often hosted southern part modern Neskuchny Park, various entertainment events.

The first "noble nests" in this historical place appear only in the 18th century, by which time an architectural complex was being built here estate of Prince N.Yu. Trubetskoy, next to which the estate of Prince Golitsyn was built in the mid-18th century. The northern estate appeared much earlier, even at the end XVII century it belonged to Count Orlov, and in the 18th century it was divided into several separate sections. It was on its territory in the middle of the 18th century that the famous aristocrat Demidov created a unique for that time Botanical Garden .

As a single possession of the Russian palace department, the old Neskuchnoye estate formed only in the years 1820-1840, when all the noble estates that were part of it were purchased one by one. On the territory of the former estates that previously belonged to the Golitsyns, Trubetskoys and Demidovs, a majestic architectural complex was erected royal summer residence, but at the same time most of the noble buildings that existed by that time were preserved. The central link of the palace residence was the exquisite Demidov mansion, built according to the design of the architect Iest in the middle of the 18th century, and later renamed Alexandria Palace. In those years, an access alley led to it from the side of modern Kaluzhskaya Street, which began near the beautiful white stone gates.

Before 1917 Neskuchnoye estate was under the jurisdiction of the palace department, and was subsequently nationalized. In Soviet times, Neskuchny Garden was renamed Gorky Park, the Alexandria Palace was transferred to the Academy of Sciences, and Mineralogical Museum, founded before the revolution, is still in operation. New buildings were also erected on the territory of Neskuchny Garden, intended for recreation of Muscovites, and its landscape has changed a lot since then.

The coastline of the Moscow River was strengthened, new alleys were laid in the park, exhibition pavilions and fountains were installed, the Green Theater and other concert venues were built, and all kinds of attractions were installed for children, and children's and sports grounds were organized. But even now many ancient buildings have been preserved, which are now the main sights of the Neskuchnoye estate.

To the territory palace estate you can enter through the ancient entrance gate, built in 1835 according to the design of the architect Tyurin. On the sides you can look for a long time at a unique sculptural group called “Abundance”. The outstanding architect planned other buildings Neskuchnoye estate- the building of the guardhouse, arena, Freylinsky and Cavalry corps.

The oldest building of an ancient manor - luxurious summer house of Count Orlov, erected in 1796, now houses a library with a reading room. The former mansion of Count Orlov is small in size; it was built in the classicist style and is a two-story building with one-story extensions on the sides. The entrance to the summer house is decorated with a majestic snow-white colonnade, crowned with a triangular-shaped portico, and on the second floor of the old summer mansion there is a balcony from where the previous owners admired the picturesque views of the Neskuchny Garden.

On the shore Catherine's Pond you can see a small house with a rotunda, connected to the reservoir using a flight of stairs. Although the old pond has long been overgrown, covered with greenish mud, the trees bending over it make an indelible impression. The three-span arched bridge made of stone leading to Pushkinskaya Embankment has also been preserved.

The main building of the Neskuchnoye estate - luxurious Alexandria Palace, but visitors can only examine its facade, since employees of the Academy of Sciences still work in the interior. The majestic building was built in the classicist style as Demidov’s mansion; at its core, two chambers created in the 18th century have been preserved, and the decoration of the facade clearly shows architectural elements of the 1830s, when the manor house was redesigned into a royal residence. Construction works were carried out according to the design of the architect E. D. Tyurin, and O. I. Bove worked on the interior design of the royal summer residence. Snow-white facade Alexander Palace reminds little Versailles, although there is little decoration on the external walls of the symmetrical building. On the sides on both sides at the level of the first floor there are colonnades supporting semicircular balconies.

The main entrance to the Alexandria Palace is located in the center of the building, and at the entrance there are two stone statues of dogs, which seem to guard the entrance to the building. In the very Alexandria Palace Elements of pre-revolutionary decor, and even individual items from the royal furniture set, have still been preserved. Now installed in front of the royal summer palace cast iron fountain, created according to the design of the outstanding sculptor I.P. Vitali, in the first half of the 19th century. But it appeared on the territory of Neskuchny Garden only in 1930; previously the fountain was located on Lubyankinskaya Square.

Boring Garden Now it is considered a monument of landscape and park art, with natural terraces it gradually descends to the picturesque Moscow River. On its territory you can see many flower beds and majestic centuries-old trees - slender birches and spreading lindens, tall poplars, curly maples and mighty oaks. On the site where the Demidov Botanical Garden was once located, there is a Green Theater, capable of accommodating more than 15 thousand spectators. The open summer structure is still the largest amphitheater in Eastern Europe.

On the territory of Neskuchny Garden there is also Hunting lodge- a spacious pavilion of the mid-18th century, where regular games of the intellectual casino “What? Where? When?". You can admire the grace of the classical forms of the Summer and Bath Houses, preserved from the end of the 18th century.

Wanting to visit the ancient Neskuchnoye estate, stroll through the picturesque Neskuchny Garden and explore the preserved monuments cultural heritage, no need to order organized excursion- Muscovites and guests of the capital can get here on their own. The estate is located at: Leninsky Prospekt 14-20, the nearest Moscow metro stations are “Oktyabrskaya” and “Leninsky Prospekt”, from which tourists can drive directly to the entrance to Neskuchny Garden by trolleybuses No. 4, 33, 7, 62.
