Nizhny Novgorod. Abandoned Observatory

To get to the observatory, it is necessary to get to the district center Kstovo - a small town down the Volga. More walking and here it is - an abandoned observatory is actually slightly longer path and fun, so see photo story with my own eyes.







Central Square.



Monument to Lenin.



Sprinkle on the guy



There Kstovo and a business center



All the way forward - on foot. The village of Great Enemy. The name is connected likely with a huge ravine behind the village.



Wooden Kazan temple at the enemy.



Road to Zimenok was on the steep bank of the Volga, which offers a magnificent view of the unsettled left bank.







Homes for astronomers Zimenko.



Next - an abandoned kindergarten.



Inside pool was discovered.



Finally, the very entrance to the observatory.



Once grand building - ionospheric antenna. Only the huge concrete pillars.



The base of the radio telescope RT-15-1. A few years ago it cut into scrap metal. But remained RT-15-2.





Finally, the main site.



RT-15-2 - in the center. The stairs up sawn off.



The building is protected by an unfriendly, but a dog chain.





































Ionospheric antenna from the highway.
