The observation deck on Sparrow Hills is perhaps the most famous observation deck from where you can look at the panorama of the capital. This is what numerous guests of the city do, and the residents of Moscow do not lag behind - the views from here are really worthy of attention. Especially when you know where and what to look at, all the most iconic points of the city appear in a whole exciting story.

The site is part of sightseeing tour around the city, a favorite place for wedding photographers, a walking alley for students of Moscow University (whose main building is very close by), moms with strollers, romantic couples, and even a long-standing meeting place for bikers.

Sparrow Hills (in Soviet times they were called Leninsky for a long time, and only in 1999 the historical name returned) is considered the right side of the Moskva River in the south-west of the city. Geographically, this area is located quite high (it is considered one of the seven hills on which, as you know, Moscow stands). The meandering river washes away the high hilly bank, nourishes the beautiful forest around, which makes this place one of the most picturesque areas of the city.

The observation deck was designed during the construction of the university complex and was built along with it from 1949 to 1953. The project was led by Vitaly Ivanovich Dolganov, a well-known Soviet architect who took an active part in the greening of Moscow and the creation of the landscape and park culture of the city.

Muscovites adore this place on the days of big holidays, when fireworks rumble over the city. On Sparrow Hills there is a "mission control center" - the main headquarters, from where they command all the fireworks of the city. Here you can clearly see not only the “local” fireworks, but also a multidimensional picture when you simultaneously observe fireworks throughout the city. For the sake of this opportunity, photographers and video operators come here.

In recent years, the observation deck has become even more comfortable than before. There were coffee houses on wheels, snack machines. The site is beautifully lit at night. The territory is patrolled by a squad of police, however, do not turn off your vigilance - the city of many millions attracts a variety of "characters".

Attractions

It makes sense to go to Sparrow Hills for at least two reasons: to look at the sights of Moscow from a height of flight and relax in nature.

Cable car on Sparrow Hills

From the observation deck you can clearly see several embankments - Novodevichy and Berezhkovskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Luzhnetskaya, connecting them with bridges.

Directly behind the stadium, the multi-colored domes of St. Basil's Cathedral stand out, you can see part of the Kremlin bell towers, the power of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Here you can also see another landmark of modern Moscow - a huge figure of Peter I, installed on the arrow of the "Red October", a very odious work of Zurab Tsereteli. Right there in the gap - the third "Stalin skyscraper" - near the Red Gates, and the famous Sechenov Medical University.

If you move from the central part of the panorama to the right, you can immediately see the fourth "high-rise" - the house on Kotelnicheskaya, the oldest residential complex on the embankment, living in which in the middle of the last century was a sign of special elite. The house is familiar to many - he played an important role in the popular Soviet film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears".

If you move your eyes further, it is difficult to miss the Shukhov TV Tower - an engineering project of incredible courage and implementation, created in the 20s of the last century. At the moment, the tower is practically not used for its intended purpose and is left as a historical monument.

Even more to the right can be found in the panorama of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences - a high-rise building with 22 floors, built in the 1990s.

In a word, it is difficult even to name another place, in addition to the observation deck on Sparrow Hills, from where you can see so many sights of the capital at once and understand how they relate to each other.

Stalin, the Council of Ministers decided to build eight high-rise buildings - they were supposed to symbolize the 800th anniversary of Moscow, which was celebrated in 1947. However, the construction of one of the buildings was stopped after Stalin's death. As conceived by the authors, skyscrapers were supposed to surround the Palace of Soviets - a grandiose project that was never realized. The style of the seven skyscrapers built was called the Stalinist Empire style.

The best specialists of that time were involved in the construction of the Moscow State University building on Sparrow Hills. Work began in 1948, they were supervised by Beria himself. B. M.

Sparrow Hills how to get by metro

We suggest using the fastest and most economical version for Moscow of “getting from point A to point B”, that is, using the metro. And even though young people are using the navigator with might and main, we are old-fashioned people, in Moscow we navigate by the map. In addition, the best half of the site's team of authors suffers from geographic cretinism and for friends in misfortune explains on the fingers and shows in photographs how to be at the right time in the right place.

The nearest metro station to the observation deck is called Vorobyovy Gory, it is located on the red metro line.

Let's look at the pointer:

The necessary pointer at the Vorobyovy Gory station.

We go up the escalator and go straight, we find ourselves under the bridge.

We reach the end of the bridge, here the road forks, we need to turn right.

Do not be alarmed if you see a barrier tape - it is not for pedestrians. Calmly lift the obstacle and move on. The picture below shows both the ribbon and travelers walking towards the observation deck.

Along the footpath

we reach the next fork.

Pavement to the observation deck of the Sparrow Hills.

Here again we keep to the right, the desired direction is indicated by an iron fence, in 2014 - yellow. Having gone forward a little, we again see a fork.

It doesn't seem to matter which path to follow here, both will lead to the right place. The author of this opus, like a brave hero, went around, took to the left.

Sparrow Hills how to get through the park

On the way there are benches and picturesque gazebos.

A few meters after the wooden gazebo on the left you will see a pond with a couple of panoramic balconies.

Then, right along the way, you will see the gazebo again.

And another fork in the four roads. Be careful here! You need to turn sharply to the left, from the fork the desired asphalt path is easy to miss behind the trees and foliage.

There is a treacherous fork in the picture, the roads diverge down to the right, gently up to the left, the necessary ascent to the left up did not get into the frame.

The road goes up sharply, steps are visible in the distance.

The stairs lead to the observation deck of the Sparrow Hills.

I don’t know if the number of steps was specially adjusted, or it happened by accident, but there are exactly 100 of them!

“Now let's go up the mountain, and there we'll die” (c).

Having climbed up, do not deny yourself the pleasure of going up to the stele of Herzen and Ogaryov, it is located a few meters from the top step, a sign leads to it. And we hurry on and soon we go out onto Kosygin Street.

Turn right and go down the side alley.

An alley along Kosygin Street leads to an observation deck.

Squirrel Other squirrel CEO the park gives instructions to subordinates. Subordinates, instead of listening with reverence, "make their feet wings."

But on a hot day, the road to the observation deck can take half a day, because the park on Sparrow Hills is very romantic, quiet and landscaped.
