This trip was finally accomplished, albeit in very small numbers. companies – me and my friend Alexey. I have long wanted to beautiful Sword go, yes, somehow everything was postponed, the weather is not that Egor to go, then we had no car at all. And then it struck rains in August and early September that I was immediately afraid that summer It ends and I will not have time to go anywhere, especially since not too I love wet weather, and my car especially does not love her. therefore it was decided not to postpone and go harsh male company and without youngsters.

And it is very good that we all abandoned and drove, since warm and sunny weekend was not in my opinion never, and Indian summer the course has already ended, not having time to start. Lancer showed himself with good side, almost nowhere caught nothing, just a day departure after the rain on the wet black soil refused to go. The only thing that upsets me is that I was already in these parts year in 2007, went with a backpack along the Beautiful Swords, and on the Niva It was a matter of driving, but then I did not have a camera or blog post. And accordingly, everyone has already written about these places, and at least I before many was, no.

Overnight in career

We moved forward on Friday late evening towards Ephraim, which in the Tula region, but drove away from Moscow on the M4 somewhere on kilometers 100 and spent the night in a tent in some career, since really wanted to sleep. In the morning we moved on, had breakfast the road, and then all saturday we climbed over rocks and fields, and by the time in the evening we reached Ishutinsky settlement, where they spent the night at the very on top. Half the resurrection walked and waited until the road dried up, and after returned to Moscow. This is what I wrote to all that two days should be enough for this weekend route.

Horse stone

It is located near the village of Kozier, and if you drive from the asphalt after Vyazovo, then immediately after the Soldier, you need to turn right on a dirt road. And driving a little across the field, this stone will visible on the opposite slope. Find it is not difficult.

The horse-stone is a strange stone, standing on three others, like on his feet, and brought here a long time ago by the glacier. They say that he resembles the head of a horse, but I apparently have something fantasy not this way. It is also believed that the groove on its upper plane does not randomly oriented to the southeast. Generally with horse-stones bound various legends and maybe he was sometime sometime altar. Honestly, a stone is like a stone, rather, more you pay attention to what nature is around and how river Beautiful Sword beautiful (I apologize for taftology).

Valley of megaliths

From Kon-stone we go through the village of Kozie and at the fork inside the village turn right. We reach Krasnogorsky and right in front of it go left along the houses. There are stones and see.

Very nice place and beautiful scenery! Perhaps affects my love for the mountains, as there are high hills and ‘rocks there. True rocks are very small, and in fact just stones, but in so many amazing to see them in our lane. We, probably, they were climbing there for about an hour, I was looking for and enjoying angles views, Leshka went swimming, and then joined me. AT the rocks are so wet, and in one of them there was a big cavity where hornets themselves nest staged.

Ruined church near the village Kocherginka

From the stones on the road we go down and drive along the river Beautiful Sword to the west. We were able to drive quite a bit since the first a deep puddle stopped us and we walked. Could have been riding go, but we did not try. Go there for long, about 20 minutes. Don’t miss the church, it stands right by the river.

I do not know why, but I like the destroyed architecture, from it blows some mysterious antiquity. There is only one minus in this – the century of such a building is short and, if it still stands today, it’s not a fact that it can be seen tomorrow.

Ishutinskoye settlement

Here we were only in the evening, it was almost dark when we started to put up a tent. Here are two options for spending the night: on the mound itself, which is a hill or a river below. We chose the first option.

If there is no rain, then the road here is excellent, from the road literally 10 minutes to go. From the asphalt you need to turn on the gravel road to Slobodskoye (it is indicated on the Yandex Map) or on the ground field road, which will be, before reaching 500 meters, to crushed stone, they then converge. At the entrance to Ishutinsky the hillfort, the first left turn will take you to the hill, the second turning sharply dives down and leads to the river bank. True over this descent, I would not dare to go by an ordinary car. Therefore, if you just down you need, then you can go even further on the primer nowhere turning off (skirting the field and going right) and you will see later after forest plantations will see another slope more gentle.

There is no reliable data about the Ishutinsky settlement. Here, probably once was a city, but who lived in it and what became of it, nobody knows. One thing is clear – the place they chose good, with a beautiful view, I would not live averse here myself. Although In the summer, the people here already became a bit much due to the fact that the places are described Already a lot of people, and fishing on the Beautiful Sword is popular, judging by forums.
