History

Riding ponds at the source of the Spyrkov creek of the enemy (since the 1960s it has been flowing in a closed channel (length 4.2 km)), the left tributary of the Likhoborka River, preserved during the development of a multi-water area.

The WISHOM experimental garden lasted until the early 1990s, and in the second half of the 1990s, it was opened for walks.
