Duration: 5 hours
* Of the four health resorts in the region, Zheleznovodsk is the largest in terms of occupied territory. There are mountains within the city limits-Razvalka, Honey, Kabanka laccoliths, and the northern wooded slopes of Beshtau Mountain descend here. The waters flowing from the bowels of the Iron Mountain surpass the waters of Wiesbaden and Marienbaden in their healing effect, and are similar in chemical composition to Karlsbad (as the famous Czech resort of Karlovy Vary used to be called).
The unique flavor of the small town will enchant you from the very first minutes. Zheleznovodsk Park is a part of a huge forest united by the Beshtaugorsky forestry. Oaks, ash trees, maples, limes, chestnuts are side by side with exotic palms, cacti, catalpa, evergreen arraucarias.…
Zheleznovodsk does not look much like a city in the usual view. It's more like a huge garden with architectural structures of different styles. Some appeared two centuries ago, some later, but all of them, undoubtedly, harmoniously fit into the landscape.
During our tour, you will be able to appreciate the former stagecoach station, now a railway station. Next, you will find Ostrovsky baths with minaret towers created by Pavel Suzor, and during the walking part of the trip you can visit Lermontovsky Square and appreciate the antique lanterns and benches. The history of this park is also connected with Pushkin, who listened here to the stories of participants in the events at the Caucasian Theater.
Near the Zodiac Signs, you can make a cherished wish, after which we will go to see the former summer residence of the Emir of Bukhara. There are a lot of legends about this building, and they all cause incredible delight! We will definitely visit the Pushkin Gallery, which exactly repeats the Lermontov Gallery, located in Pyatigorsk, in the Tsvetnik Park. From the local playground, you can walk along the famous Cascade Staircase to the eastern part of the park - right to the picturesque lake, which makes very vivid photos!
