Hiking route on the island of Russian

This ancient fort was built on Mount Pospelov in the early twentieth century. Today the object is part of State Museum-Reserve "Vladivostok Fortress". From the top of the hill offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Bosphorus Strait Vostochny and Russian Bridge. Organized walking groups are regularly led here.

During the inspection of the defensive structure, tourists can see interesting elements of underground architecture:

• Stone casemates for sheltering personnel and storing stocks.
• Long underground galleries and tunnels that connect different parts of the fort.
• Earth brastiers and deep ditches for protection from artillery fire.

The inside of concrete tunnels is always cool, so you will need a windbreaker for a walk. The territory is fully landscaped for comfortable excursions. Here laid convenient paths and installed information stands with historical facts

The defense complex is located at the very tip of the cape at Russian Island. The battery was built to protect the entrance to the Bosphorus Strait from enemy ships. From here one of the best angles to the Russian Bridge opens, so the place is popular with professional photographers. Hiking here passes along the picturesque coastline.

On the territory of the complex you can consider in detail the military heritage of the region:

• Stone gun yards, which were fully restored by restorers.
• Mockups of old cannons of Kane caliber 152 millimeters in life size.
• Concrete pavilions for sheltering rangefinders and searchlight stations.

The road to the cape goes along a flat dirt path among a low bush. Strong sea wind blows here in any weather. We recommend taking a headdress with you to protect your face from cold ocean drafts.

The picturesque bay on the east coast of the island has become a popular center for beach holidays. The water area here is shallow, so the water warms up quickly under the sun.
