How to get to Obolonskaya Embankment. Obolonian embankment in Kiev - a fabulously beautiful corner created by the hands of a man

- This place is often called one of the most beautiful and romantic in Kiev. However, everyone who at least once walked through it immediately will understand that these words are not sufficient enough to describe the entire uniqueness of this territory, which has become a landmark of not only our district, but also the capital of Ukraine.

The embankment begins at the Moscow Bridge, and there is a parallel avenue of the heroes of Stalingrad to the North Street. There is almost everything that is necessary for rest - both active and calm. The pedestrian part is about 5 km long, a magnificent view of the Dnieper, Temples, Beaches, Natalka, Garden of Stones, Unusual Sculptures, Cafes and Restaurants, Training and Playgrounds, Golf Club, Huge concrete caisson and many other interesting places - all This is an embankment on Obolon. But its main advantage is that in all its length it is a pedestrian. This place is definitely worth to visit here and see everything listed with your own eyes. We, in turn, offer you a virtual excursion in the Obolonian Embankment of Kiev.

In the right side of the 1980s, the sandy wasteland is visible along the avenue of Heroes of Stalingrad, where the Obolon embankment will appear in the future

But first small excursion in history. The first outlines of the future embankment appeared on Obolon in the period of active development of its territory - in the late 1960s, in the early 1970s. In order to avoid the floodings characteristic of this terrain during the spills of the Dnieper, the engineering lifting of the soil was performed to a height of up to 5 meters. Thanks to the hydraamama and thousands of tons of brought sand, the coastline was also raised above its natural level and reinforced with concrete slabs. Part of these plates underlying at an angle of 45 ° can now see along the entire promenade. And the other part of them is horizontal, formed some kind of pedestrian zone. Over time, horizontal plates dismantled for laying paving slabs. It is worth noting that during the time of the USSR, most of the Obolonsky Embankment - from the Moscow bridge to the street, the street was not built up. Here it was possible to see only the sand, among which the high-rise building of the institute of archeology was well noticeable.

It is so few decades ago that part of the embankment looked back, where the cottages are now located, a golf club and various art objects on the shore of the Dnieper

But time went, and Obolon changed rapidly. In the 1970s and 1980s, typical panel buildings built up northern part Embankment - along the whole street. Here the asphalt pedestrian part appeared, which remained in almost unchanged form to the present day. The new period of development and the complete transformation of this territory began in the 1990s. At this time, new brick houses begin to appear on the empty part of the embankment, and then the elite cottages near the said Archeology Institute. Already in the 2000s, the residential complex "Oasis" and other modern high-altitude buildings, formed her appearance, be built in the southern part of this area.

In the same period - the late 1990s, the beginning of the 2000s, the large-scale reconstruction of the Obolonsky Embankment pedestrian zone begins, which continues until now. The first refined site was part of the territory from the building along the street of the Street 13, to the cottage mini-town. Here, for the first time, a paving slabs, aesthetic fences, beautiful lights and stairs between the upper and lower levels appeared.

The next stage was the construction of the lower part of the embankment, which stretches from the cottage-townhouses almost to the Moscow bridge. It is in this place where residents and guests of Kiev can take a walk along the potted tracks near the water itself, subsequently a lot of unusual sculptures, sports grounds, golf club and berths for yachts appeared.

However, the arrangement of part of the pleasure zone in the Natalka tract is not completed until now, so concrete slabs remaining with the Soviet times. On the same territory there was an entertainment show-park "Golden Gate", and a unique garden of stones appeared here.

Also, not far from this place is a concrete structure, which is called different names, and a submarine in the steppes of Obolon, and Obolonian caisson, and even the northern pipe.

One of the main advantages of the embankment is Obolon Bay. It should also be noted that last week she won in the vote "Where in Kiev to live well?".

The Embankment of the Dnieper extends along the river from the Postal Square to the most famous Kiev Bridge of Paton, which can be stroll. IN summer time from river Station At the Postal Square you can take a walk on the river tram.

The most popular bridge, the Metro Bridge goes from the metro station "Dnipro" and consists of two parts: Lower - automotive, top - for metro trains. What is noteworthy, the metro is fully open. You can get right in the hydropark, favorite place Recreation Kievan. The ground station Metro "Dnipro" is decorated with the sculptures "Peace" and "Labor". Nearby is a monument to the founders of Kiev. Closer to the bridge of Paton Raptured the statue of the motherland-mother.

Where to go for a walk on the urgent town of Kiya? Options are a huge amount, and today I will tell you about the place that is far from the center, but, nevertheless, it is definitely worthy of visits. Obolonsky embankment.

Obolon is a historic locality mentioned in the annals in the 11th century. According to archaeologists, people settled here even to our era.

The name "Obolon" comes from the Word "Bologna" - the "bay meadow", "the waterproofing of the river".

During the days of Kievan Rus, the Kiev princes were regularly hunted here, the people easily fell out on the local meadows of the cattle. The main thing was not to get under the hooves by a removal of the pronunciation of a retinue. There were these lands of generously politics not only animal, but also human blood. There were various princes in civil workers here. During the "friendly visits" of Pechenegs and other Polovtsy, the chest in the chest faced the forest with the steppe.

There were no permanent dwellings on Oboloni, because it was not for nothing that the area name was from the "fill in the water of the river bank". Yes, yes, poured. Every year, almost like by the clock. But these invasions river watercarrying nutrients, made local meadows fertile and desirable for all the strengths of this world.

This was especially manifested in Lithuanian, Polish and Cossack periods. Panya fought, the Halls trembled Chubs, everything is relieved. Moreover, the attempt to "settle the right-way", for the first time taken by the Grand Duke, Lithuanian Alexander in 1494, were not crowned with success. Although officially ownership was behind the city magistrate, the then oligarchs did not leave attempts to impose paws on the "delicious" land (nothing reminds?). "Obolonsky disputes" were engaged in rumors and Khmelnitsky and Mazepa and Alexey Mikhailovich and Peter I.

By the 16th century, the city expanded so much that there was a lack of space. Then the first more or less permanent huts appeared on Obolon. As they did not float, the question is not to me. Maybe the place was found notable. Maybe with the father, Slavutych agreed. Maybe simply on the piles built. Maybe she was stuck.

The fact is that Obolon is increasingly integrated into general life.

Over time, Temples, Manufactory, Mills and Warehouses appeared here. Plus, the power gradually took up the strengthening of river shores and flood protection. True, at first there was a business neither Shalko nor Valko. Capital Podolskaya Embankment completed only by 1860. Before Obolon, the hands reached even later. In 1897, the Kiev-Oolonsk Harbor was founded at Oolonsk Gulf.

Once in the area of \u200b\u200bKin, the silencers were organized, sumps were organized, where the stocks from urban sewage were gathered. Before her brought to mind, some of Obolon lands were seriously injured.

In the Soviet times, Obolon became one of the points where the northern tunnel transition under Dnipro was supposed to be held. The project was never implemented, and one of the witnesses of those days - Kesson - still towers in the Natalka tract.

Mass Development Oboloni, as a sleeping area, began in the 60s of the 20th century. Strengthened and raised coastline. Washed sand and soil. They attracted the best architects that offered a new form of microdistricons - cellular with circular junctions and other amenities for residents. From the 1968th work began to boil. By the end of the 70s Obolon became the largest array of Kiev. Further array only by 1980.

In the 1990s and 2000s, the second stage of the development of Oboloni began - elite heights of 20-25 floors.

Approximately at the same time, the arrangement and our today's hero began - a five-kilometer Obolonian embankment. The reconstruction of its pedestrian zone took place, new interesting sculptures appeared and interesting places for relax.

Get acquainted with her closer.

We start our way from the subway "Minsk". We are moving along Tymoshenka towards the Dnieper. By the sign "I love Obolon", Obolonskaya RDA and sculpture of Arresting Mikhail.

Became will have to. There are no convenient transitions to the other side. You need to turn right on the avenue of Heroes of Stalingrad and walk a couple of minutes. And here is the traffic light. Yes, on the side you will need to return.

So what to do! A pair of tens of meters and we see figures with halbs, books and scrolls that look at us from the height of the pedestals. Cyril with Methodius? AN No, Holy Apostles onion, Matthew, Mark, John. The authors of the four canonical gospels.

And we are already in front of us with a tile, with a temple away. The tile state is not perfect. Like beautiful kiosk houses standing on the road to the church. They are either closed, or vice versa are open to all winds and thoroughly painted graffiti. Apparently the calculation on the creation of the cultural zone near the church, where the surrounding person will be gather and boiled trading life, not justified.

And here is the Holy Pokrovsky Cathedral . Large. Inspires It began to build it in the 90s and did not really finish up to this day. Although, according to rumors, in the small and lower churches of the service already go. Pay attention to the original mosaic icon of the Interior of the Mother of God on the facade. By the way, its area of \u200b\u200b122 square meters. m.

We go around the temple on the right, and, leaving the entrance to the underground parking on the left hand, go to the track, which leads us to the embankment.

We first meet patriotic painted plates, a lot of sand, and signs that prohibit swimming in the local reservoir. Xth, interesting is the reason for the ban and whether he will keep many on a hot summer day.

Obolonsky embankment for a fair distance shares clearly into two parts.

The upper pedestrian - with a neat tiled under the legs, massive walking people, monuments and coffee houses.

And lower. With sand, children's playgrounds, places for playing volleyball, and even a small rope park, with quite impressive altitudes. Accordingly, at the bottom reigns leisure, And at the top, a non-aware of the coffee maker and looking at bronze sculptures.

And there are enough of them. Here is a funny steel man in the form of punctuation marks. It turns out that we have a sculpture "glowing person." Won goldfish, on rumors Acting desires. Following the princess-frog, earning raising. Touch the crown, and if you believe Molve, a meeting with your narrowed / one is provided to you. Anyway. Not in this life, so in the following.

And here is the young Koichihigrochko (or Nikita?), Which seeks a three-headed serpent in a strange dress on the muzzle. Or is it of his natural armor such? By the way, there is a legend that the fight of the legendary hero, or Dobryni, whether Nikita Kamiemyaki with one of the aspids took place right here on the shore of the Dnieper. The story is silent about the result of the battle.

But the hit of the season is a monument of loyalty, in the form of two dog-retriever dogs, patiently waiting for his person. "Dogs ... They taught us to appreciate loyalty, so that we do not forget those who love." Do not make them wait long. And also all who love you, no matter how many legs they go. The author of "loyalty", "Fish", "Frogs", and "Kochijoroshka / Nikita" Uzhgorod artist Alexey Shamshura.

Such wellness continues at a cottage town. Near which the upper alley disappears, turning into a small track, and all the action moves down to the Dnieper.

By the way, the town is not an easy. Three dozen houses 400-2000 square meters, cost from 25 to 70 million hryvnia. Modestly, but tasteful.

Well, okay, and not very much and wanted. But now closer to the river, with the breeze and seagulls. Plus here too, it turns out, enough sculptures. The truth is not bronze and several modern. As well as trees, flower beds and a lot of baby, jumping on trampolines and rocking at the Swedish stairs. That's just a tile under these stairs somewhat confuse. If the chattlefish rinsing, the landing will not be soft. It would be worthwhile to put the horizontal soil on the soft ground.

And the road between themes, running around the parking lot of cychatamarans, turns to the left, in the Moscow bridge. But before it is more interesting. Hefty golf club on the right (11 thousand squares of the territory). Another number of sculptures, this time in the socially owned stylist, mixed with antique. Origine.

The awesome views of that section of the embankment that we have already passed and Obolon high rings over it. Ducks fighting with seagulls for a piece of bread. Sleeping away "rockets" and other boats.

And here is the notorious caisson. A piece of failed tunnel.

In the late 1930s, the Soviet leadership commanded two railway tunnels under Slavutych. One of them had to start just in these places.

And end in Troyeschina. Started construction in 1939, money and labor of Vbochli Nemerin. But first prevented the war. And then it turned out that all this pleasure union is simply not affordable. Yes, and no need for such grandmas. Switch to the subway. They say the experience gained when trying to lay these tunnels, healthy subsidized in metropolitanis. As well as the remaining materials after this construction.

It looks impressive. And how do you imagine the difficulties associated with such a way of laying tunnels, and it becomes bad at all.

We have already in front of the park "Natalka", which has arisen in recent years on the place of the wasteland on the shore of the Dnieper. The park is quite cute. Football field. Playground with horizontal barns, and, by the way, a soft soil beneath them.

In the spring, a huge number of colors and truly royal flower bed with tulips. People, "European" lying on lawns. Trees and shrubs. This is despite the fact that work in the fleet near the bridge has not yet been completed.

Upstairs are already visible the dome of the second temple, we encountered today on the way. This is a very unusual christmas church of Christ. Built in 2006-2007 for the project and for the money of the national architect of Ukraine Valentina Isaac.

The first to attract seven domes built using translucent and metal structures weighing 120 tons. Also used blue tempered glass and backlight. It will be necessary to look at the church at night. Must be beautiful. In no way pass by the monumental panel "Christmas of Christ" size of 38 m2. Located on the main facade. On the panel you can see the Mother of God with a baby, around which the Magi gathered and the shepherds. Plus, in addition to the top, there is also the lower church of the Holy Martyr Valentine. Also, the internal interiors of the Church with paintings by the artist Ivan Balduha are deserved. M-yes, really an extraordinary church.

But that's not all. Immediately, literally on the roof of the neighboring house there is another church! We see only a turret in the embroidery, and in fact there is a personal two-storey temple, pressed over a two-level apartment. Data owner Choir built a church for rumors in memory of the deceased daughter. By the way, she is acting and, according to the authorities, illegal (there was no examination of the building structures).

We have ahead of the last sight of the embankment, located next to the Moscow Bridge. Garden stones. He became the first in Kiev, and appeared in 2011. We have a small cozy seammer (area of \u200b\u200b0.35 hectares) with dozens of columns and original bronze sculptures.

Here is the eleven-meter granite fountain with figures of three girls hiding from water jets under fungus. Here is the young beetle, carefully listening to the reading book dad. And there is his resting from the work of righteous conifers. Van angular, but homely cozy hugging figures, a woman driven by geese, near the elegant mermaid. Won proudly spread the wings of the eagle and thoughtful insect. But the pearl of the garden is a terrible lever of Panther, probably a bugger.

The stones from which are elements of the gardens, various cities of our country shared with Oolonia. What exactly can be read on the signs. Complete benches and abundance of lights complement the entourage.

Definitely need to visit here in the evening.

We leave from the garden and in the hundred meters we see the commander of the Moscow Bridge and the avenue of Heroes of Stalingrad, according to which trolleybuses run.

On the road to trolleybus, which takes you to the metro station "Petrovka" (sorry, according to the latest order of the Plenum of the Central Committee of the Cape "), pay attention to the Bronze Sailboat, standing on the pedestal from the Red Granite. It is straightforward in front of the College of the Maritime and River Fleet of the Kiev State Academy water transport The name of Hetman Peter Konashevich-Sagaidachny (Kiev Shipbuilding Technical School) and has long been one of the symbols of the district.

Admire the high skyscrapers, some of which are visible from almost every Kiev hill. Inhale the smell of Dniprovskaya water. Take a look again on the path passed today. For another unique piece of magnificent hail of Kiya.

And there are still many unforgettable walks ahead!

Obolon - This is a historic locality in the north of Kiev, located on the right bank of the Dnieper, and at the same time is a sleeping and industrial zone. Although the terrain itself is very ancient - there were settlements here even in the reactionary era, a residential array, such as he looks now, began to be built in the late 1960s.

New part Obolonsky Massiva Starts to be built in early 1990s and continues until now. Now on the place where there were continuous sands before, the new elite microdistrict rose, with expensive shops, cafes and restaurants, squares, monuments, fountains and churches. All of the above focused along the promenade - one of the most beautiful places Kiev, where the citizens manite from all over the capital.

On, which can be called the cultural and entertainment center of this area, Oolonans and residents of other areas of the capital come to the Promenade, at meetings with friends, for entertainment and cozy restaurants at Dnipro, for beautiful views and sunsets.

It is worth noting that the current species of the embankment did not appear immediately - until the end of the 1990s-early 2000s, there was a regular pedestrian zone, paved far from exactly laid plates.

The length of the embankment is about 4 kilometers. Its main part on which all attractions are located can be started with the Majestic Pokrovsky Cathedral, but to complete the christmas church of Christ. Both temples have long been not only the business card district, but also from Kiev.

In about the center of the embankment in the last couple of years, several bronze monuments and sculptures were installed. This is a monument to the dog loyalty, the sculpture of the Golden Fish and Koichijoroshko.

Very nearby, one more decoration of embankments is a moss alley, consisting of eight two-meter sculptures.

A peculiar art space recently became part of the Natalka Park, adjacent to Obolon embankment. Here made a summer cinema under open sky, benches that are not burning and on which nothing can be written, creative bird feeders, a map of Ukraine from a bat tile, several graffiti and much more.

Next to the christmas christmas temple is a stone labyrinth, called "Journey to Himself."

Another interesting architectural highlight is Rotunda with a large green dome and white columns. This object is interesting because, if you become under the dome and say any word, it will sound an echo.

Completes the embankment of the garden stones. It is a cozy duct, with abundantly blooming flower beds, between which there are compositions of large stones, leopard sculptures, mermaids and an eagle and a highlighted fountain. All stones were brought from different parts of Ukraine.

Obolonsky Embankment It has long been among the most popular tourist corners of Kiev. You can walk here at any time of the year, time of day and any weather. In the fall, this place looks like a special - everything around plays a warm gamma of yellow-red shades.

There is enough space for everyone. From car expensive The embankment separates the quarter of residential high-rise houses and a number of elite cottages-townhouses.

The modern development of Obolonsky embankment in the same area appeared relatively recently, during the second period of the development of the neighborhood. The first red-winged multi-storey new buildings of the Oasis residential neighborhood among Obolon Panorama appeared in 2006. True, some sections of this street began to form still in the past century, so, in the early 90s, the youth residential massif "Obolon" was built, and last decades, Lonely standing in the midst of the wasteland, the high-rise structure of the Institute of Hydrobiology today is already surrounded by modern cottages. Unusually on Obolonsky Embankment looks beautiful architecture Group of elite houses raised by the project of a cottage town, some of them can even be purchased.

Of course, one of the unique sights of Obolonsky Embankment is the quiet state of the Obolon Bay, the close location of the comfortable residential high-rise buildings and the fact that the street is a pedestrian zone throughout its length.

Walking the embankment, it is difficult not to pay attention to the bronze sculptures standing along the sidewalk fabulous heroes: "Golden Fish", which can perform intimate desires, and if you touch the crown of "printed frogs", you can meet your destiny, the legendary Coyiyhigrochko with the Magnaya, who defeated the fire-haired Snake Gorynych. It is no coincidence that the sculpture of the fabulous hero of Kievan Rus was installed on Obolonskaya Embankment, one of the legends, it was in the Obolon region that there was a battle between the wonderful hero of good Nikitich with a multi-headed snake.

Carefully bribes the monument of two cute bronze retrievers at Obolon embankment, 12-d, and the phrase engraved on the pedestal causes everyone to think about ordinary values \u200b\u200b- loyalty and love.

Also near Obolonsky Embankment there is an unusual labyrinth that local residents Nicknamed "Travel to yourself." Local argue that everyone, mentally formulating important questions and having made a hurry journey through a labyrinth, will be able to get answers to these questions, because the labyrinth trail is laid in a special energy zone, thanks to which it turns out to find these answers. On the walls of one unfinished object, located near the labyrinth, the locals portrayed the Golden Dome of one of the church shrines Kiev.

The only place in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Embankment, which is not covered by civilization is the so-called Natalka Park not far from the Moscow Bridge. Here there are ruins of a huge concrete structure, which remained from unfinished railway tunnels of the Stalin Times, which planned to be paved under Dnipro, and old broken paths paved with concrete slabs. Nevertheless, the tract already even began to reconstruct - at least installed the picture that they plan to fulfill in the future.

Currently, semicircular lavets with lions are installed along the embankment, there are many cozy cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs overlooking the Dnieper. On the shore, next to the golf centered, the jacket of the yacht club is equipped.
