      🌳 Skhodnensky Kovsh (Skhodnya Bowl)

      • The bowl is up to 1 km across and about 40 m deep; by one estimate it is the third-largest natural monument in Moscow by area.
      • It was dug by the Skhodnya itself: after the glacier, the full-flowing river ran along the upper edge of the cliff and gradually cut deeper.
      • The "Skhodnya skullcap", the remains of a person from the Upper Paleolithic, was found here.
      • The bowl holds the Tushino hillfort of the Dyakovo culture, excavated in 1927 by the archaeologist Konstantin Vinogradov.
      • An ancient trade route linking Moscow with Vladimir and Suzdal ran through these places.
      • Moorhens, nightingales and bluethroats nest on the marshy bottom.
