Nowadays, Russky Island is one of the most popular places for recreation for Vladivostok residents. There are no industrial enterprises polluting the atmosphere and water, therefore
7. The "falling" tower of Syuyumbike, Kazan
One of the most interesting and beautiful sights of Russia has been “falling” for several centuries.
Historians cannot come to a consensus on when Syuyumbike was built, but they eventually agreed that it was erected between 1645 and 1650. However, scientists have no disagreement about the deviation of the spire from the vertical, it is exactly 1.98 meters. As for the height of the tower, it is 58 meters.
No one knows why the building began to lean to one side. The most popular assumption is that it was due to a construction error. The strong frame stopped the fall.
6. Kaolin quarry, Chelyabinsk region
You can put the hashtag #fairytalebali without leaving Russia. It is enough to visit the Kaolin quarry near Kyshtym, which was nicknamed the Ural Bali. The quarry, where raw kaolin was mined, was flooded in 2011, and is distinguished by an amazing azure-turquoise shade of water. This is explained by the presence of the same kaolin. But there are no fish or other living creatures in the quarry, there are too many minerals and clay in it.
5. Cape Khoboy, Olkhon Island, Irkutsk Region
The Buryats have a legend about the formation of this cape. A woman envied the palace that was granted to her husband and asked the celestials for the same. The Tengris became angry and turned the envious woman into a rock, saying that she would remain a stone as long as there was evil and envy on earth.
By the way, if you look at Cape Khoboy from the water, its outlines really resemble a female figure. That is where its other name comes from – Virgo.
4. Lake Teletskoye, Altai
"Golden Lake" is what Altyn Nuur, one of the names of Lake Teletskoye, sounds like in Mongolian. According to legend, one Altai man wanted to exchange food for himself and his family for gold during a hungry year. But no one sold him food, and in despair he threw the gold into the lake and jumped in after it.
It was named Teletskoye 400 years ago by Russian pioneers because the Turkic Telesy tribes lived on its banks.
Due to its beauty, the lake has become a popular holiday destination; 18 tourist centers and campsites are located on its shores; there are also places for fishing, and bicycle, car and even air excursions.
3. White Tower, Yekaterinburg
This unique hydraulic structure is a monument of constructivist architecture, once forgotten, but now transformed into a cultural site.
Thanks to the actions of the Podelniki archgroup and financial assistance from the Vnimanie foundation, founded by Ilya Varlamov, lighting was installed in the tower, which had been abandoned for a long time, and a lightning rod was installed. Now Vnimanie is looking for money (about 4 million rubles) to reconstruct the unofficial symbol of Uralmash.
