Story

Novosibirsk is a young city, it was founded in 1893, and ten years later received city status. Its history began with the construction of a railway bridge across the Ob. This bridge played a big role in the development of all of Siberia, and for Novosibirsk it became the very beginning, thanks to which a small, little-known village turned into a huge city in just a few decades. The structures of the bridge, built in 1893–1897, were worn out and outdated; in 2000 it was dismantled, and in its place a new bridge was built in accordance with modern requirements. Next to the new bridge, one span structure of the old bridge was preserved as a museum exhibit, as a memory, and a park was laid out nearby, which, as a sign that it was from this place that Novosibirsk began to grow and develop, was called “Urban Beginning .

In 2012, a monument to Emperor Alexander III was erected in the park next to the preserved span of the first bridge. It was by his decree that the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway began, which actually predetermined the birth of the city of Novosibirsk.

Temples

Novosibirsk has opportunities for pilgrimage tourism, as the city is famous for its temples, which are known far beyond the Novosibirsk region. Orthodox tourists making a religious pilgrimage must visit the Ascension Cathedral, the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Church of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church and others.

Ascension Cathedral is the main temple of Novosibirsk. At first, the church in honor of the Ascension of the Lord, built in 1913, was wooden; it was located on the outskirts of the city and was one of the poorest in Novonikolaevsk. After the formation of the Novonikolaevsk diocese in 1924, the bishop's chair began to be located in the church. In 1937, the temple was closed, a granary was built in it, and returned to the church in 1944 through the efforts of Archbishop Bartholomew. In 1974, the reconstruction of the cathedral began, which was completed in 1988 for the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus': the building became completely stone, the interior walls were decorated with paintings, and mosaics were placed outside in the lunettes above the entrances.

The Cathedral in the name of Alexander Nevsky in the neo-Byzantine style is one of the first stone buildings in Novonikolaevsk. The temple was built in 1899 as a monument to Emperor Alexander III, the organizer of the Great Siberian Route. The cathedral was closed in 1937, but only the bell tower was blown up. The building first housed a design institute and then a newsreel studio. The building was returned to the church in 1989. In 2021, a monument to Nicholas II and Tsarevich Alexei was unveiled near the cathedral.

The main thing is to choose a place that is allowed for swimming and meets all the necessary requirements for water quality and facilities, and the list of such places is published annually by Rospotrebnadzor before the official opening of the beach season.

When the Trans-Siberian Railway was built, this section of the bridge structure was the only possibility of railway communication across the Ob River. 100 years later, a new, more modern one was built, and the old one was dismantled, but not completely.

Laboratory Mouse Monument

Many people know that Novosibirsk is the center of Russian scientific thought. Therefore, in Academgorodok, near the Institute of Cytology and Genetics, a monument was erected in honor of those animals that most often serve as little helpers for scientists. A mouse in glasses knits a DNA chain, which symbolizes science in the hands of man.

Sculptural composition “Purchase Scene”

On Michurina, 12, you can see an interesting frozen three-dimensional picture from Eduard Dobrovolsky - a woman seller lures a man with goods, and the simpleton does not notice how a smart dog pulls sausages from his bag.

Traffic light monument

Another interesting monument is located at the intersection of Sibrevkoma and Serebrennikovskaya streets. The place is easily accessible from the famous Hundred Apartment Building. In 2006, the country celebrated the 70th anniversary of the traffic police structure, and therefore this facility was opened. The location was chosen for a reason, since it was here, near the ancient educational institution, that the first traffic controller was erected - he switched manually, but was very helpful in regulating the flow of traffic, especially when children returned from the lyceum.

Where to go from Novosibirsk on your own

In the summer, if you have free time, you can get acquainted with the natural beauties of the Novosibirsk region. Much is available if you come to Novosibirsk with your own transport or have the opportunity to rent a car. Traveling by public transport is also possible, but it will take longer.

130 kilometers from Novosibirsk are the Berd Rocks - a natural monument of regional significance, one of the most picturesque places near the city. This is a steep rocky area 300 meters wide and 1.3 kilometers long along the right bank of the Berd River, from the top of which there are magnificent views of the Berd valley, the winding river, and forested slopes. The location is unique for the Novosibirsk region, since the region is flat and low-lying, and is not characterized by rocky terrain.

The second name of the Berdsk rocks is St. John's wort, since here this grass picturesquely covers the slopes. This is also the name of the landscaped ecological route created for tourists visiting this place. The ecological trail “St. John's wort” stretches for seven kilometers along the Berd River and ends at the top of the Berd Rocks. There are signs, comfortable benches where you can relax and admire the views, stands with information about the flora and fauna of the Berd Rocks.

In one day you can visit both the Berd Rocks and Belovsky Falls , an unusual waterfall located in a flat area. The waterfall received its name from the nearby village of Belovo. On a hot summer day you can swim in it.

Park "Bugrinskaya Grove"

One of the favorite places for recreation and walks for city residents is located near Vatutina Street, about a kilometer from Mega. The park was named “Grove” for a reason. This is a truly quiet, dense and very picturesque grove, in the shade of whose trees it is so pleasant to walk. The park cannot be called very well-maintained, but the silence and tranquility that reigns in it overcomes all the existing shortcomings and gives an atmosphere of goodness and peace.

There are practically no attractions in the park; this place is more for walking than for entertainment. There is live music and other entertainment on Saturdays and Sundays, and ski rentals are available in winter. The park is open to everyone from eleven in the morning.

The greatest concentration of attractions is located in the central districts of the city: Central, Zheleznodorozhny, Zaeltsovsky. But Akademgorodok, the scientific center of Novosibirsk, where the most modern research, educational and economic institutions are located, deserves special attention.

Metrobridge

A landmark of Novosibirsk, known throughout the country, is its metro bridge. Of course, you can’t walk along it, but the spectacle is worth seeing.

First, and most importantly: it has seven spans! The length of the bridge is more than two thousand meters, and it is the longest covered metro bridge in the world. In the world, and not just in our country!

The metro bridge in Novosibirsk appeared in the mid-eighties of the last century. At that time, there was a serious problem of transport connection between the two banks, which this structure was designed to solve. However, it was not initially planned: they were going to dig a tunnel under the Ob, but this turned out to be unprofitable, and as a result, a similar version of the metro bridge was approved.

It took five whole years to build, but in the end it was not in vain. After all, now this bridge is a real decoration of the city, one might say, its calling card, which all guests of the Siberian capital inevitably come to admire. By the way, an interesting fact: the metro bridge is designed in such a way that it becomes shorter in winter and longer in summer. All thanks to special rollers in its mechanism. Such an operation is necessary due to the strong temperature difference in Siberia. The metro bridge is not difficult to find: you just need to go to the River Station embankment.
