      🌅 Poklonnaya Hill

      проспект Энгельса, у метро Озерки

      The highest point in this part of town: from the ledge above Engels Avenue you can see the city all the way to the Gulf of Finland.

      • The hill is 40 metres above sea level and is part of the Pargolovo–Levashovo moraine ridge.
      • One version says the Swedes sent messengers from here to ask Peter the Great for peace — hence the name ("poklon" means a bow).
      • Five streets and avenues meet at the top, forming a local "Five Corners".
      • A monument to Stalin stood on the hill from 1949 to 1961.
      • At the very top of the hill stood the dacha of the Tibetan doctor Badmaev, who treated Rasputin.
