Borisov Ponds. Borisovskie Prudy: attractions and how to get to the park Borisovskie Ponds Street

The beaches of Moscow are a purely internal matter for Muscovites. In the sense that Moscow is not a resort, and tourists do not come here for swimming and tanning. Nobody, of course, restricts entry to the beaches for strangers, but what should a Volzhanite or a resident of the Black Sea region, accustomed to wide shores, extensive beaches and big water. The exception will probably be something unusual for the majority. There is something like this in Moscow.

Nudist beaches in Moscow

There are three nudist beaches in Moscow.

Beach in Serebryany Bor. The most popular of Moscow nudist beaches. If you get there by land transport, then you can take trolleybuses 86, 20 and 65 to the final station. From there follow an ecological trail that will lead to two bridges. From them you can already turn to the river, to its right bank. The beach is chastely fenced with a high fence, but entry is left free. For vacationers on the beach there is a volleyball net and points Catering with drinks and light snacks. There are no changing rooms, but really, who needs them there. There are two categories of vacationers wandering along the beach - naked and clothed. The first ones swim 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 taken over by vacationing homosexuals. The beach administration is fighting them, although gays swim not naked, but in swim shorts. Formally, there is no reason to disperse homosexuals, so the methods of struggle are unique. Christmas trees and other trees are being intensively planted on the left bank. According to city officials, the dense vegetation will drive gays away from the beach.

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

Borisov Ponds (formerly called Tsarevoborisovsky or Tsareborisovsky Pond) is a body of water that began its history back in the 16th century. It received 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 in several areas:

Orekhovo-Borisovo Northern;
Moskvorechye-Saburovo;
Brateevo.

In 1998, Borisov ponds became part of the Tsaritsyno natural and historical park.

Excursion into history

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

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

One is known from the archives interesting fact. In 1767, Catherine, passing by the village. Borisovo stopped here to relax. They settled the queen in the traveling wooden palace. When the great ruler admired the pond, she saw a cross that glittered on the top of the temple. She asked what it was. She was told that behind the forest there was a village with the wonderful name Black Mud. And in locality There is a temple, the dome of which glitters in the sun. 8 years passed and the village began to be called Tsaritsyn.

In the 17th-19th centuries, on the left side of the reservoir there was a place with a strange name - the protected forest of the Zarazy tract. In fact, in ancient Slavic “infection” means “steep bank, cliff.”

In 1860, a merchant named Gumpson built a paper mill here.

Fishing and apple orchard

In the village Borisovo peasants caught fish and served to the royal table, there was also a huge apple orchard on the territory. There is evidence in the archives that the people who looked after 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. IN late XIX centuries, the village even had its own school and library. For knowledge in the village. We were traveling from neighboring villages to Borisovo.

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

The territory of the pond was officially annexed to Moscow only in 1960. In 1970, the island was artificially created. Two bridges, Nizhny and Verkhny Borisovsky, were opened across it. The bridges divided the forest into two: Shipilovsky and Borisovsky. Since then, it has become a custom to call the reservoir in the plural. In 1998, by government decree, Borisov ponds were included in the Tsaritsyno natural and historical park.

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 on all sides. Here it is:

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

In winter, the latter are turned into ski tracks. There are beaches on the northern and southern shores. They are well-maintained and clean, but swimming here is prohibited by Rospotrebnadzor. Rescuers and police are on duty in the park. On the banks of the pond, fishermen catch:

perch;
carp;
crucian carp

Not long ago, grass carp were released into the pond. Its mission is to fight algae thickets that quickly multiply in water. Fishing is not prohibited, but you can see signs calling on fishermen to release grass carp into the wild for a special task.

Temple on Borisov Ponds

As a village with a church, Borisovo was first mentioned in the parish salary 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 Holy Church was built very close to the reservoir. Life-Giving Trinity. The exact date of its creation has not been preserved in history. The location of the temple was very inconvenient, 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 a decision was made to build a new one, which is clearly visible from the Kashirskoye Highway. The old temple is still functioning today. The new shrine will be discussed further.

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

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

temple;
clergy house;
children's music school;
three chapels.

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

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 4,000 people can enter the temple at the same time.

On the facade of the shrine there are porcelain tiles that are painted with gold. The work was led by Yuri Volkotrub, head of the Guild of Masters workshop. The icons were painted by Vasily Nesterenko’s team. The overall process was supervised by the Expert Council, 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 iconography. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is made of ceramics combined with marble. The first icons of Princess Olga and Vladimir are located here as a tribute to the baptists of Rus'.

How to get there?

You can get to the park and reservoir by metro. You can get to Borisovskie Ponds from Kashirskaya station by buses 738, 740. Muscovites love this place very much and call it “Bariki”. The address of Borisov Ponds for those who will travel 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. A noble boyar, brother-in-law of Tsar Fyodor I Ioannovich, a young guardsman of Ivan the Terrible, did a lot for the Russian state and its capital. But fate was such that he was unable to 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.

History of Borisov Ponds

Not everyone will remember that Garden Ring road appeared thanks to the decree of Boris Godunov. Also, the largest body of water in the metropolis bears the name of the king. Through the centuries the memory of his deeds has passed. In the vicinity of Moscow, a palace estate was built on the lands of the ruler, and next to it a cascade of ponds was formed: Borisovsky, Shipilovsky, Verkhnetsaritsynsky.

During troubled times, the estate was devastated and the area depopulated. Only by 1620 did the peasants return to these lands. Godunov died, and a new dynasty reigned. But from the Borisov fisheries, crucian carp, pike, bream, and roach were supplied to their table. Fisheries have been developing here for more than two centuries.

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

Revival of ponds

The capital expanded rapidly. From the suburban area, reservoirs entered 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 park area Borisov Ponds. The Borisovskoye metro station, opened in 2011, made this area accessible to a large number of vacationers.

Today the 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 a third. This is the largest mirror of water in 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. The closest metro station is Borisovo in the east, Tsaritsyno in the west, and Orekhovo in the south.

Rest zone

Today the area around the reservoir is well developed. The presence of a metro station near Borisov Ponds made them attractive for lovers beach holiday. 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 makes it possible to build children's slides.

In the southwestern part of the zone there is a big park- Borisov Ponds. The nearest metro station "Orekhovo" is located at a distance of 500 meters. Vacationers in the park have the following services:

From the north-west you can get there by train. The Tsaritsyno metro station is located close to Borisov Ponds. Passing the park of the same name, you can approach the Shipilovskaya Dam.
