Lipetsk region has become famous not only for its mineral pump room, where today all of Russia successfully "scoops health", but also by industry stuck in the mud by Peter I and the mass of old towns and monasteries.

About Peter it is worth to say separately. There is a legend that the city of Gryazi, located near Lipetsk, got its name from the tsar when he went to Voronezh to build his fleet and got stuck in mud.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of the Lipetsk region

In one of the largest cities of the region - Yelets, there are a lot of architectural monuments. Ascension Cathedral - built in the late 19th century by the famous architect Konstantin Ton (also his authorship belongs to the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow, the Leningrad Station in Moscow and the Moscow Station in St. Petersburg). At the beginning of the 20th century the cathedral was looted and burnt, but rebuilt after the war.

Zadonsk

No less interesting is the church architecture of Zadonsk. There are three functioning monasteries in the city: two of them are women's monasteries, and one of them is Christmas Bogoroditsky. The monastery was founded in 1610 by two monks Gerasim and Cyril. Here are the relics of Tikhon Zadonsky - the holy Lipetsk land

Shukhov Tower

One of the bright attractions of the Dankov district is the Shukhov hyperboloid tower built in the 1920s by the engineer Shukhov, specially for the All-Russian Industrial Exhibition . Later it was bought and brought to the village of Polibino by Maecenas Nechaevym - Maltsov.

Hyperboloid tower - the world's first non-standard in scale and execution design, was created in the early 20th century. Similar designs in other countries were built only a hundred years later (in China, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom). The Shukhov Tower is a symbol of Russian television, a famous screensaver of the Blue Light.
