Hello!
General (from Wikipedia):
The park opened in 2007. The park is one of the most visited tourist attractions of the Zadonsky district and the entire Lipetsk region. Park area - 500 hectares. The park opened in 2007.
The riding school works, hippotherapy classes are held.
IN winter time Skiing, skates, snowoutures, zorbs, icebreakers for kids are organized in the park.
How to get?
Park is located in the Lipetsk region near the road M4 "Don". From Moscow - 400 km . Therefore, if you go then you need to plan overnight stay. In my case, we stopped near relatives in the village nearby.
I was driving through Zadonsk. After the bridge, you need to turn left and go to the village Kamenka. The park is located on the left side literally immediately behind the village. Landmark - When you move from the mountain on the left to see on the horizon of a huge snake Gorynych!
By the way, in Kamenka the road is located store "Pyaterochka" Where, before the trip, you can have something to buy with you to eat or drink (although there are no problems in the park with it, but everything will be more expensive).
We traveled to the park by car. Nearest large railroad station in the town Dace.
Where to leave the car?
We arrived quite late and free seats For cars, there was practically no. We found on top parking where there is no coverage.
At the bottom (closer to the park) there is another parking with asphalt coating and markup. So, of course, there were no places at all. But on the top parking lot, the car could be left in the shade, and at the bottom only on the sun.
Leaving the car and slightly snag we went to the park. The first thing you needed to do is learn the map that hung at the entrance -
Just in case, I bought a paper card for 20 rubles. Entrance to the park - free!
The territory is really huge! But there are pointers and everything can be easily found -
First of all, we went to the ancient Russian fortress, which stood on the mountain. As it turned out this city of Snake Gorynych -
Left from the road is a pond with sandy beach. It was very hot on the street and many bathed -
Right scene. Various festivals and events are held in this park -
Information about what is planned in the park is on the site. I found out about it on back side, purchased park card -
By the way, it was necessary to go in the open area long enough! Do not forget the tool to protect against the sun and the headdress. And here we are almost at the gate -
Looks very cool! Real medieval fortress without windows and doors. Giant arrows and green tails of the snake Gorynych stick out of the walls.
Entrance to the fortress is paid - 250 rubles -
We bought tickets and went inside. The first thing that was to go through the corridor, inside the rotating cylinder -
Due to the rotation, the illusion of "pointing" is created. And here we are inside the bevel -
Snake Gorynych - the character is not so kind. Therefore, the atmosphere in the bevel appropriate.
The first thing we visited is a quest in the labyrinths of the fortress.
Entry through a hole with teeth -
Inside welcome an atmosphere respectively "Evil please!" And also warn "Dear guests take care of the dice!".Next, you need to climb the stairs to the second floor where the path along the halls and corridors of the gloomy member will begin -
As for the quest, when they bought a ticket, we were given a leaf with crossword and tasks.
You could run and look for answers to questions to get a prize in the souvenir shop. But we had a little time, and children are still small for this, so we just went and watched. But there were those who enthusiastically looking for answers to the tasks.
Passages between rooms are narrow with foam rubber teeth -
Each room has something "unusual". For example, here is the "crust" of Gorynych. Scattered grain and you need to go through hell, so that it is not bodied -
In another room on the floor, animal bones scattered -
From the ceiling hang bones -
And on the walls hang skulls with burning glads!
But all this is absolutely not scary! None of the children cried. Everyone was enthusiastically looked around and waited for what will be in the next room -
In the next room there were musical instruments -
And also hang "bones" for "Game" -
In the last room, the shimmering light was just burning and the excited voice repeated "Urgently leave the room!"
Coming out of the labyrinth, we were again on the square. Inside there are several houses. For example, the house of the cannibal, in which there was a huge table with huge chairs and appliances -
On the table lay sliced \u200b\u200bleg. A huge piece of meat dangled on a spiner in the stove -
Here you can just like, pith a picture. Even push your head through the table and turn out to be ... on the glass dish.
Also inside the member discovered a strange trail and archaeological excavations are underway -
Around a lot of souvenir shops -
You can find everything that your soul is beautiful clay figures or crafts from beads.
There are workshops where various workshops are held with children -
There is even a "Salon of Ghoul", where you can spend an unusual photo session -
Multiple rooms are located different objects with which you can take a picture. But I personally somehow did not want to be photographed with my "sliced \u200b\u200bhead." Perhaps someone like it, it's an amateur.
After visiting the kite, we went to the park again.
Now we went to the Symbol of the Park - a huge figure of the "Snake Gorynych". Passed by giant arrows -
Some arrows stick out of the wall. As if there was a big battle -
And here we are near the Snake Gorynych!
Figure is made of concrete. It is impressive with its size and details of small details -
The only one for some reason, sunglasses appared him. Honestly, it would be more brutally watched without glasses. But that there is that is.
From the snake we went down and went past the helmet of the hero.
Then we headed towards the children's town -
On the left there are trampoline and swimming pool for Zorb -
Cost 10 minutes 300 rubles! Compared to Moscow it is even more expensive! But business is a business.
Passion to town through beautiful fabulous gate -
In the gate you can climb the stairs and take pictures on top.
Everything is done very beautiful and felt that with the soul -
Near bicycle rental -
In a children's town, many places where children can climb, ride a rocker or from a slide -
It is curious that the territory is covered with sand. All who are on the playground pre-shoot shoes.
In the contact zoo, various horses, deers, roebles, ostriches, etc. are found. They can be fed, you can ride. Everything is natural for free.
As it turned out there is no humus without good. We were on Sunday and it was on this day at 19:30, once a week, Gorynych in the field makes her roar and erupts fire! A lot of children and adults gathered around Gorynych. And now the view began!
As it turned out inside the Gorynych, huge columns are built and he really "growls"! And from the mouth is a real fire !!!
It lasted for a long time. (3-4 times). But it really impresses! I have never seen anything like this !!!
It was a great completion of a walk! Park we really liked! The most important thing, the children were appreciated and had long remembered how "the dragon breathes on the mountain."
As for food in the park
On the territory of many different cafes, where you can choose what to eat. We had enough sandwiches that took with them from home and visiting "Pyaterochka" in front of the park.
As for the toilets
Toilets are there. But here is the one that is on the parking lot is just! Creepy stench and hole in the floor. There is simply impossible to enter there. From chlorine cuts eyes. As a result, everything around is risen. On the territory there are several blue drying things. But it seems to me that they could be more and they could be better.
But in general, I really liked the park! I think it can be wonderfully spending the weekend. So I recommend!

A brief excursion to the world of fairy tales and epic
"Kudikina Mountain" in the Lipetsk region did not just have become one of the most popular tourist destinations Not only in Lipetsk, but also on national scale. Directly the same Mountain figure recognizable and very popular, despite the fact that the Snake statue symbolizes the actual recognition of the relevance of evil principle in Russian fairy tales and epic.
The dragon does not just perform the function of Cerber from, guarding the entrance to the kingdom of the dead through Kalinov Bridge, it is also the actual material embodiment of destructive energy. Usually depicted with the number of heads to multiple three.
The dragon often appears in the mythology of different nationalities and along with a snake means a negative start. In Russian fairy tales and epics, the Snove Gorynystu assigned the role of a permanent opponent of the protagonist, whether the Dobrynya Nikitich or Ivan the Peasant Son. In the last fairy tale, by the way, in Kudkina Mountain lives, which can also be called one of the names of Gorynych, like the epithet of an unclean, bad, evil.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, the serpent falls under the blows of the sword or the thrill of the hero, which actually means losing evil and the victory of the world. Snake also personifies rebirth, in some fairy tales on the site of the sliced \u200b\u200bheads, new, in two-time quantities appear.
Causes of popularity
Despite the fact that the serpent Gorynych is primarily a negative character, its popularity and recognition is extremely large.
First of all, the reason for this is the popularization of dragons, as well as the symbolic incarnation of power, which is certainly Gorynych.
In addition, the snake remains one of the primary characters of the epics and legends, therefore, not to note his contribution to the formation of fabulous worlds is quite difficult. So, for example, the author, which in 2015 published a few of the best snapshots of the snake at the stage of the primary embodiment of the project in the park, quickly gained world popularity. The photo collected more than 1 million likes and the park near the village of Kamenka became the center of attention, including for foreign tourists.
Project embodiments
"Kudkina Mountain" dozens of thousands of tourists visit every year, but in 2007 few people believed in the success of the idea. Contrary to expectations, the fabulous format came to taste the audience and quite quickly tourist activity in Lipetsk grew.
Directly The Gorynych himself was laid in 2015. The initial project has undergone a few changes, only common forms remained from the primary embodiment. The statue is made on a metal frame and "trim" concrete. In each step, there is a powerful burner on gas, so that the "Mountain" in the Lipetsk at night illuminate flame flashes. The statue received national recognition, and the publication of the exposition in Instagram VMIG was in the center universal attention.

One Snake Gorynych with Russians
Snake Gorynych in the territory of the "Kudkina Mountain" in Lipetsk is certainly beautiful in his gigantic embodiment and perfectly fit into the atmosphere of the park. However, since some commentators in social networks, a little unfair that the Statue of the Snake in other recreation areas throughout Russia and the CIS were left without attention.
So, for example, first in honor fairy-tale character The statue of Petrozavodsk (2000) was erected.
Kharkov, the embankment r. Lopan
Its Mountain is also in Kharkov and Novosibirsk. In general, the hero remains extremely recognizable and popular.
For ordinary Russians and residents of the CIS, the snakes are simply one of the well-known heroes, while Bibliophiles and Literature teachers renew the increased popularity of Russian folk fairy tales among the younger generation.
The image of the dragon can be traced from Normannov, Assyrians, Hakes, their own echidna and Greeks. The Russian analogue has its own specificity and has never been forgotten completely.
The fact that in honor of letting and negative, but still literary, the character is erected by the statues that, moreover, have acquired world fame, speaks in favor of high commitment to folk traditions and folklore, which has always been an example of an excellent taste and high education.
