🌳 Filyovsky Park

A large park on the high bank of the Moskva River: the former Naryshkin estate with alleys, woods and paths down to the water.

In 1689 Peter I gave Fili to his uncle Lev Naryshkin, and the land stayed in the Naryshkin family for about 175 years.
Before that Fili was a royal hunting ground, where Alexei Mikhailovich hunted.
The last owner of the estate was the manufacturer and publisher Kozma Soldatyonkov, who bought it in 1869.
The park contains the Kuntsevo hillfort, one of the oldest fortified settlements in Moscow: the Vyatichi lived here in the 11th–13th centuries, and the rampart and ditch survive.
The park stretches 5 km along the Moskva River and covers 280 hectares.
As late as the 1970s elk were seen in the park, and Muscovites came here to pick mushrooms.
