🌳 Otrada Park (Likhoborka valley)

Отрадное, Алтуфьевское ш. (долина реки Лихоборки)

The green Likhoborka valley in Otradnoye — a park landscaped in 2005–2006: paths, gazebos and wooden bridges over a small river.

The Likhoborka is the longest of Moscow's small rivers: 30.2 km, more than half of it hidden in an underground collector.
The name, by one version, is linked to "likhoy bor" (wild pine forest) — a forest by the Dmitrov road where robbers hid.
The landscaped stretch of the valley in Otradnoye — Otrada Park — was laid out in 2005–2006, with plank decks, bridges and paths of cobblestones.
In April 2017 remains of structures that may belong to the Moscow fortified area were found on the Likhoborka bank by Otrada Park.
Volga water from the Khimki Reservoir is discharged through the Likhoborka into the Yauza — the river is part of the water-supply system.
