Kalinovsky cuts. Gold mine - recreation area

Every inhabitant of Yekaterinburg knows where the Kalinovsky slits are and how to get there. Simply because this forest park area with ponds is not somewhere in the distance, where you have to get several hours, but practically in the city, in the Elmash area. What is so attractive about a place with such an unusual name?

History of the formation of reservoirs

In 1934, the Soviet state, surpassing the five-year plans, setting records in production and agriculture, moving science and education forward, resumed the development of gold-bearing bottom seams near the village of Kalinovka, near Sverdlovsk. Gold was mined in this area of the Urals in the XIX century.

The dragon was launched on the Pyshma River, and, moving at the slowest speed, processing many tons of rock, it reached the Kalinovka River at the end of the road.

The gold mine

The work of a dredge can be compared with the work of a plant, which, moving along the river, extracts from its bottom the rock, rinses, sorts, processes. Serves him a lot of people who live long on the shore. Blanks of waste rock are stored here. Here roads break through, a lot of equipment moves. It is not hard to imagine a picture that remains after passing this gold-mining caravan. The place, which is now called the Kalinovsky section, looked depressingly. The description of the picture is preserved from the words of local residents: deep careers, embankments, dumps, destroyed trees, forest dwellers who left these places.

But gold mining was going on at a rapid pace, people were fulfilling their assigned tasks. It is known that in the same year the reserve was visited by the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry of the USSR GK Ordzhonikidze. He was interested in the design and operation of the dredge, which was assembled in one of the Soviet factories from domestic materials. He took nuggets in his hands, talked to the workers, listened to their requests, thanked them for their high labor performance. This significant event is described with the words of the Assistant to the Head of the Dredge KI Shimanov and the worker A. Dudin.

Kalinovsky Forest Park

The work on the development of gold-bearing rocks was completed. Nature gradually recovered after the terrible damage inflicted on her. At the site of the dredge, Lake Kalinovski was formed, its banks covered with pine forest. Growing up, the city of Sverdlovsk-Yekaterinburg came close to the territory of Kalinovka, as its locals call it, and got into its use a forest park in the city.

A huge park with an area of 50 hectares has become a favorite holiday destination for the townspeople. It is good here at any time of the year, therefore, families come here and come here.

In the summer, a shallow lake off the coast is a great place for swimming, especially for children. Adults can find for themselves places for swimming and diving, because the average depth here is 2 meters, but there are also four-meter marks.

The place is equipped for swimming, there is a boat station. In the surrounding dry glades grow flowers and berries.

In the winter it is ski trips, physical education lessons for schoolchildren.
