Taming the Yenisei: excursion to the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP + Shushenskoye Museum
Description:
Only after visiting the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP, you can truly appreciate its scale, engineering innovation and importance for Khakassia and the whole of Russia. You will see one of the highest dams in the country, discover the history of all-Union construction and dispel myths about the station. And on the way you will hear the legends of Khakassia and visit several interesting corners of the region.
What awaits you
The road to the giant
Along the way, we will recall the curious details of the history of Siberia, and driving through the places of ancient pagan rituals, we will talk about the Khakass, Tagar and Okunev cultures. In the village of Sizaya you will see the preserved 19th century temple and the place where the Soviet wrestler Ivan Yarygin grew up. And if you want to relax a little, we can stop at the entertainment area "Tartuga" with children's rides and a picnic area.
The HPP that is better to see once
And here you are – a giant dam Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP, one of the largest and most powerful on the planet. From the observation deck you will appreciate the scale of the monumental station, which provides energy to half of Siberia.
