Places to stay in Moscow

The cultural natural complex is located almost in the center of the city, so even on weekdays it is full of tourists and locals riding on swimming facilities. Until the 15th century, there were several ponds in the park in the channel of the Neprudnaya River, but today only one Ekaterininsky pond remains, which is named after the Institute of Noble Maidens, located there in the thirties of the last century.
On the pond there is the possibility of boating for up to three people. New models of watercraft are more safe and very light in weight, so that even girls can handle them. Each boat is equipped with life buoys. Life jackets are issued to all comers, for children under the age of 16 it is mandatory.
In addition, for lovers of extreme sports, the Ekaterininsky pond provides for aerozobs (balls on the water). They are also safe: they are washed after each use, and at any time if it becomesuncomfortable, you can stop riding.
