Many people do not know that besides a large cityVoronezh - the regional center, in Russia there is a river of the same name. It is the left tributary of the well-known Don and is a very calm meandering reservoir surrounded by wooded, picturesque shores along its entire length. Voronezh is a river with a length of 1403 kilometers, the left bank of which is shallow, with an abundance of small lakes and old ladies, and the right bank is steep and high.
The Voronezh River flows through the territory of Lipetsk,Tambov and Voronezh regions. Formed at the confluence of the Forest Voronezh and Polny Voronezh. It is a typical flat river. It starts at the village of Pushkino (Ryazan Region, Uholovsky District). The confluence of two rivers occurs near the village Novonikolskoye (Tambov region, Michurinsky district). After that, for 60 km the river flows to the north-west. There Stanovaya Ryaza flows into it. Five kilometers from the confluence of the river turns sharply from north to south, with a little deviates to the south-west. If you look at the map, we will see that the Voronezh River is a reservoir on which there are three cities - Voronezh, Lipetsk and Michurinsk. You can also see that there are many different villages along the banks. And, for example, below the village of Stupino on the left bank adjoins the Voronezh Reserve. It will be very interesting for tourists with children and beginners. Several tourist routes pass along the river. Let's travel a little.
Many have heard of this city.From these places begins the river Voronezh. The card confirms this. Michurinsk is the All-Union Center for Scientific Fruit Growing. The city was founded as a fortress to protect against nomadic peoples in 1636. In the city there are: the house-museum of I. V. Michurin, a local history museum, a drama theater, the Elias Church is an architectural monument, designed by V. V. Rastrelli, a famous architect.
Michurinsk is located on the steep bank of the ForestVoronezh, where we start our little journey. Through several fairly large loops, the river connects with Full Voronezh. From this place of confluence the river itself flows, which is the topic of this article. Its flow is calm, its width is 20-30 meters.
Чуть далее, приняв приток большого размера – Growing Rasu, it becomes noticeably deeper. On the right bank, high, mostly located small settlements, on the left - forests. Soon before the village of Good we will see the destroyed dam. Depending on the experience of travelers and the water level, the dam can be passed along the channel along the left bank or through the weir.
Next, flood meadows stretch, then - floodplainthe woods. Behind Goritsy there is a school tourist camp, next to which one can equip one for recreation. Soon will begin to meet the motor vessels, which are a clear sign of approaching Lipetsk.
This city originated in the XIII century, but its developmentbegan at the end of the XVII century, when Peter I was making the Azov campaigns. Even by his decree, ironworks were built in Lipetsk, which provided the fleet, being built in Voronezh, with the necessary metal. A little later, the city began to develop as a mud and spa resort. At the moment, Lipetsk is a major cultural and industrial center of Russia. Here there are: a museum of local lore, a drama theater, a house of Peter I, a museum of local lore and other architectural monuments of the XVII-XVIII centuries. We reach the middle part of the city and see that the river has spread widely in this place, and we have a reservoir 700 meters wide and two kilometers long. Below Lipetsk, we see that along the right bank villages almost continuously stretch, and on the left - deciduous and pine forests.
In the floodplain there are swamps, a lot of old ladies, lakes.The Voronezh River (clearly visible on the map of the area) crosses many interesting and beautiful places throughout its length. After the village of Troitskoe, it is divided into channels, the current here is weak, but it delays, so you need to follow the route carefully so as not to end up in the deaf channel. In this area, the forest recedes from the water and reappears near the villages of Karamyshevo and Pada.
По левому берегу, от села Вербилово, на большой territory spread hunting farm Kulikov. If you wish, you can obtain permission from the farm management and inspect dams and beaver settlements. At the village of Manino the river is again divided into channels. Soon we will reach the mouth of the Izlegoschi river - a very picturesque place where you can get a rest. Even lower - the village Karachun, which is located on the right bank. These places are famous for their pottery craft.
From Karachun in 15 kilometers is oneof the oldest settlements in this area is Ramon. Here in the XVI century during the reign of Tsar Peter I was a shipyard. The palace, the former summer residence of Princess Oldenburg, is also well preserved. It was built in the Old English style, a monument to the local native, S.I. Mosin, the inventor of the well-known Russian trilinea. The Voronezh River is unusual and unforgettable - photos taken on its banks only confirm this.
От Рамони по левому берегу отходит небольшая railway line. By it you can get to the Office of the Voronezh Reserve. This station Grafskaya. If you get permission to visit it, you will get a lot of pleasure from exploring the beaver farm, aviaries, beaver settlements and the museum.
Further to the regional center all rightthe coast has a very picturesque view thanks to the beautiful deciduous forests. Having passed under the Chertovitsky highway bridge, the Voronezh-river turns into a reservoir, which stretches almost to the Don - 40 km. Here in bad weather there is already a high wave, and swimming becomes very dangerous for tourists without relevant experience.
Our trip ends in the city of Voronezh, whichfounded in 1585 as a fortress. There are many monuments of architecture here. Some of them are the Potemkin Palace, built in 1760, and the Nikolskaya Church, which was built earlier - in 1720. There are also four theaters, museums of visual arts and local lore.
The map of the rivers of Russia clearly shows us that the riverVoronezh is one of the numerous tributaries of the largest reservoir in the European part of Russia - the Don. Yes, in Europe it is second only to the Danube, Dnieper and Volga in the catchment area. Its catchment is 422 thousand km2and the length is 1870 km.It begins at an altitude of 180 meters above sea level, in the northern part of the Central Russian Upland. Previously, the source of this great river was considered to be the place of exit from the famous Lake Ivan, but this is not so. Now this place is often called Shatskoye reservoir, located north of Novomoskovsk, the city of Tula region. This is also not true, the reservoir is even fenced off by the river dam.
The true source of the Don is at a distance of 2-3kilometers east in the park. Here, even the “Source of the Don” is installed - an architectural complex, although the source itself in this complex is powered by a water supply network, that is, of artificial origin. Navigation on the river operates from the mouth to Voronezh, the distance is 1590 km.
There is a place where Don is very close toanother major river is the Volga. The map of rivers of Russia defines this place as an area of the city of Kalach. The distance between them is only 80 km. Here both rivers in 1952 were connected by the Volga-Don canal.
Some more info.A dam was built in the area of the village of Tsimlyanskaya, which raises the water level by 27 meters. Its length is 12.8 km. Thus, the Tsimlyanskoe reservoir was formed. It has a capacity of 21.5 km3, useful - 12.6 km3, area - 2600 km3stretches from Golubinskaya to Volgodonsk.Of course, the dam gives a benefit - a hydroelectric power station is located on it. Water from this reservoir is used for watering and irrigation of the Salsk steppes and other steppe territories of the Volgograd and Rostov regions.
As already noted, Don stretches nearly 2,000 km. Throughout its length, it feeds on many tributaries, both large and small. The largest - three:
There are so many small inflows that only listing them will take a whole page. Their length is from two kilometers to 1862. Some do not even have a name.
It is clear that such a beautiful vastthe locality could not be used for recreation of local residents, tourists and travelers. What is attractive about these places? For example, Voronezh (river) is characterized by:
