Om
Hurtige fakta: Denne fæstning påtog sig i de første minutter af Den Store Fædrelandskrig det primære slag, og dens forsvarere holdt ud i næsten en måned uden vand og mad. Murene er den dag i dag gennemsåret af kuglemærker, og en af indgangene, Cholmporten, skinner med mursten, der er poleret af kul.
Højdepunkter: Under fæstningen strækker et netværk af 8 kilometer lange underjordiske tunneller sig, som forsvarerne i hemmelighed brugte til at bevæge sig mellem bastionerne. I 1965 fik fæstningen titlen "Heltemodets fæstning". Kun tre steder i hele landet har en sådan titel.
Insidertips
- Bring water and snacks: the territory is huge, and there are few cafés inside.
- Photograph the Cholm Gate early in the morning, when there are no shadows and the light is best.
- Do not miss the Birch Alley, with unique Soviet memorials, and the silence surprises the most.
- If you want to avoid the crowds, avoid May 9th and June 22nd, as there are hundreds of people here on those days.
