      🌳 Ponds of the Dachnaya River

      между ул. Лёни Голикова и ул. Танкиста Хрустицкого, к северу от пр. Ветеранов

      A chain of landscaped ponds in the middle of the Dachnoye neighbourhood — all that remains of a river once called the Popovka.

      • The river used to be called Popov Brook or Popovka, and in the 20th century it took its name from the Dachnoye area.
      • The 18th-century Ligovsky Canal cut across its bed.
      • In the 1960s, during mass construction, the lower channel north of Leninsky Prospekt was filled in.
      • What is left of the river is a string of elongated ponds joined by channels.
