The relic Chelyabinsk urban forest is located in the west of the city and stretches widely from the north to the northeast of the region. The Emerald Quarry of Chelyabinsk is one of the largest reservoirs in the territory of the forest park zone. It has long been a favorite vacation spot for local residents both in the summer heat and during the winter holidays.
Geography and Ecology
Located in the southern part of the city, surrounded by a forest with a unique microclimate and clean air, the Emerald Quarry in Chelyabinsk is far from large industrial production.
The water is clear and clean here, as the bottom is rocky. Pine forest, steep banks form beautiful landscapes at any time of the year, however, as elsewhere in the Southern Urals.
Appearance of mines
The region is rich in natural resources, and the mining industry has been a profitable business since ancient times. One of the loot was granite and marble, which were in abundance in the nearest modern suburb of Chelyabinsk.
200 meters from Shershnevskyreservoirs where gold ore was mined, granite was mined at the site of the current Chelyabinsk Emerald Quarry at the beginning of the 19th century, then the abandoned quarries were flooded with water. Actually, that's the whole story.
Infrastructure
The road to the reservoir lies through the village of AMZ, where there are shops of various formats, as well as cafes and restaurants. This means that at any time vacationers can replenish supplies of drinking water, other provisions, if the need arises.
In case of emergency, you can seek medical help, as there is a large medical clinic on the territory.
And on the opposite side of the village and in close proximity to the quarry itself, there are two excellent sanatoriums "Izumrudny" and "Volna".
Built in the Soviet era, these he alth-improving facilities are modernized with the latest technology and enjoy well-deserved popularity among the townspeople in any season.
If on hot summer days people swim here, play beach games, then in winter there are more entertainments. You can have a great time on winter fishing at the Emerald Quarry of Chelyabinsk. Previously, according to experienced anglers, it was possible to catch pike in the pond. The current situation has not yet been commented anywhere.
And for lovers of outdoor activities, slides for tubing and sledding were organized, ski slopes were laid, and a skating rink was equipped on the ice. Barbecue areas and Finnish sauna houses were equipped for fun feasts.
All this is united by one name - the Ice-Park "Emerald" amusement park. Opened in 2013, unfortunately, it is now going through hard times, and many structures are unfinished and are already being destroyed under the influence of natural factors and time.
Pros and cons
The biggest plus is the love and care of the townspeople for the reservoir. Starting from August 2016, the “Clean Coast” campaigns have been held on the banks of the Emerald Quarry in Chelyabinsk. The initiators were public eco-organizations. The event was attended not only by environmental volunteers, but also by local residents and vacationers. During the season, thus, the Emerald reservoir was cleared of three tons of garbage.
Of the minuses, it is worth mentioning the very fact of the appearance of this garbage.
The second significant drawback is the lack of nearby public transport stops. There are good parking lots for cars, but without a personal vehicle you will have to walk.
Here are the options for getting to the Emerald Quarry in Chelyabinsk:
- First you need to take trolleybuses No. 5, 7, 11, 12, 16; buses No. 51, 66; minibuses No. 14, 17, 29, 36, 40, 48, 66 to the stop "Energy College". And then 5 kilometers through the Chelyabinsk city forest on foot along popular well-trodden paths.
- But you can shorten the walk time by taking minibuses No. 14, 17, 36, 40, 48 to the Prospekt Shop stop. Then for a walk on foot there will be 2 kilometers along the street. Obskaya and st. Shakhtostroevskaya right to the sandy beach.
