Chelyabinsk: what is worth seeing with your own eyes and when is the best time to travel

Chelyabinsk is informally called the capital of the Southern Urals. It is believed that it is located on the geological border of the Urals and Siberia. It is the administrative center of the Chelyabinsk region. Population: 1.2 million people. The area of ​​the city is about 50 thousand hectares.

It is located on the banks of the Miass River, in the forest-steppe zone. Within the city there are the Shershnevskoye Reservoir, lakes Smolino, Sineglazovo and First. It is believed that the name comes from the Bashkir word “silebe” - “depression”, “shallow hole”.

The main thing about Chelyabinsk

In 1736, a fortress was founded on the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains, named Chelyabinsk due to the fact that the small village of Chelyaby was located nearby. The structure was intended to protect food convoys, which were constantly attacked by the Bashkirs. Subsequently, the city grew and occupied both banks of the Miass River.

Over time, the metallurgical industry here greatly intensified, and in the 1940s, Chelyabinsk acquired an unofficial name - Tankograd. This was due to the fact that it was in this city that a huge number of military vehicles and tanks were produced for the Soviet army.

Chelyabinsk is located on the banks of the Miass River

Chelyabinsk is located on the border of Siberia and Europe. The territory is devoid of high hills and therefore it is convenient to travel here using different types of transport. There are three lakes nearby: First, Smolino and Sineglazovo, and there is also the Shershnevskoye Reservoir.

The Ural city is distinguished by the active development of the metallurgical industry and mechanical engineering. This is the reason for the rapid growth of the population, the number of which, according to the latest data, is about 1,202,371 people. Moreover, the area of ​​the city is more than 500 km2.

Lake Smolino

There are several lakes within the city of Chelyabinsk. One of them is Lake Smolino, which is part of an ancient ocean, its age is more than three million years. The area of ​​the lake is 27 km2, the greatest depth is 6.8 m.

In the past, the lake was called the Chelyabinsk Sea, because it breathes here like the sea, thanks to the wind rose.

100 years ago the water in the lake was salty and healing. The lake was a popular resort destination. But in the mid-20th century, the water in the lake became fresher. And I had to forget about the resort. There is a version that the composition of water can change every 70 years. It will soon be possible to test the plausibility of this theory.

Lake Smolino received the status of a natural monument. Now it has become a favorite vacation spot for the townspeople. In summer you can relax on the equipped Sunny Beach beach, and in winter you can go skiing on the lake. Fishing enthusiasts can try their luck both with a fishing rod and in spearfishing.

In 1996, a beautiful temple in honor of the icon of the Mother of God was founded here and, practically by the whole world, was built. On January 18-19, Epiphany bathing takes place in the lake near the church. Chelyabinsk residents and city guests can take a dip in the plunge pool at any temperature.

You can get to Lake Smolino by any transport to the ChTPZ Hospital stop by bus No. 33, trolleybus No. 10 and minibuses No. 7, 20, 23, 27, 42, 90, 91 to the Sunny Beach stop.

Architecture and history of the city

Monumental sculptures, grandiosely luxurious temples and many other objects in Chelyabinsk are worth seeing with your own eyes to be convinced of their uniqueness, as well as the talent of Russian masters. Even during a short trip to this city it is worth paying attention to such places as:

• The Chelyabinsk elevator is not the most pleasant, but mysterious object. The ancient building can be found in the city center, in the Sovetsky district at the intersection of Khlebnaya, Kirov and Elkina streets. The facility was built in 1914 – 1918 under the program for the construction of a complex of elevators of the state bank. In 1924, a market was set up near the elevator, which quickly became popular and lively. The facility operated until the 1990s, and then was abandoned. Now that the city has grown, it finds itself in the center of Chelyabinsk, although it was originally located on the outskirts;

• in 1924 - 1925, a monument-mausoleum to V. I. Lenin was erected in the Aloe Field Park (Sverdlovsky Prospekt, 59). The structure has two levels, on the top of which there is a bronze bust depicting Lenin. It is interesting that this monument is the first monument in the Urals dedicated to the great politician and leader. After opening, there was a library here, which was closed during the Great Patriotic War. It is noteworthy that the first stone of the mausoleum was laid synchronously with the burial ceremony of Lenin in the Moscow tomb, namely at 18:05 local time;

• Alexander Nevskaya Church is one of the brightest sights of Chelyabinsk. The temple was built in 1911, when the need arose for the moral education of the flock due to the increase in the number of city residents to approximately 60,000 people. In 1922, the Bolsheviks confiscated all valuables from the building that were sold, and used the proceeds to fight hunger. The church was closed in 1930, and the collapsing building served to house a printing house, a military warehouse, a planetarium, and an art gallery. Only in 2010 the first service was held in the temple and the organ was moved here. The red church building can be seen at Aloe Pole, 1;

Where should a tourist stay?

A large number of people come to Chelyabinsk every day. Chelyabinsk is ready to welcome and comfortably accommodate everyone.

Below in tabular form are several options for places where you can stay in Chelyabinsk:

Opera and Ballet Theater named after M. V. Glinka

The function of artistic and moral education of residents has long rested on the mighty shoulders of the Opera and Ballet Theater, the construction of which began in 1937. The repertoire widely includes classical operas by Soviet and Western European composers, as well as familiar ballet performances in new interpretations. The uniform style, manner, and composition of the ballet troupe helped to win many prizes, awards and titles.

Church of the Holy Trinity

Another interesting attraction of Chelyabinsk, a must-see, is the Trinity Cathedral. It was originally a modest wooden structure erected in 1829. In 1914, the building could no longer accommodate all the believers, so the church was dismantled, and a cathedral with a bell tower was erected in its place. During the years of Soviet power, the domes were dismantled, and the building itself was converted into a local history museum. In 1990, the cathedral was finally returned to the diocese. As a result of long and complex work, the temple was restored to its former grandeur: the unique painting in the Vasnetsov style and acoustics were restored.

11. Victory Garden

The square appeared in the 30s at the same time as the construction of a tractor factory on the site of a birch grove. The presence of concert venues and military equipment attracts both tourists and city residents here. Perhaps the Victory Garden stands out as the most patriotic place in Chelyabinsk. Here you can see many memorial monuments, and on May 9, rallies and festive events are traditionally held here.

Arena "Tractor"

One of the most visited tourist places in Chelyabinsk is the Traktor Arena. The modern ice rink was designed with the greatest possible comfort for its spectators. The three-story building, the construction of which began in 2007, is designed in high-tech style.

Thanks to this, in addition to sports matches and competitions, the arena can host concerts and exhibitions.

Revolution square

The most important and interesting city events take place on the main city square - Revolution Square, around which there is a park. The buildings of the Arbitration Regional Court, City Hall and Drama Theater harmoniously fit into the architectural ensemble of this landmark of Chelyabinsk. According to Soviet tradition, in the center of the square there is a monument to the leader of the proletariat and a favorite resting place for young people - a fountain made of bronze and decorated with openwork casting.
