Wednesday Walk in Kronstadt
Kronstadt was a closed city for a long time. It was possible to get to Kronstadt only with a special pass, and a walk around Kronstadt was a pipe dream for many people. But one day the special visiting regime was abolished and walking around Kronstadt became available to everyone.
When I first came to Kronstadt, it was perceived as a dream come true. The city amazed me - clean, bright streets, many sailors and the sea on all sides. Kronstadt is located on an island in the Gulf of Finland, so you will come to the sea no matter what direction you choose for your walk.
I don't visit Kronstadt as often as I'd like to, because it's either long or expensive to drive to Kronstadt. If I take the causeway, I have to make a big detour. But a trip on a motorboat from the pier near my house is very pleasant, like any sea trip, and quite fast, but the ticket is expensive, such motorboats are designed primarily for tourists.
Somehow it happens by itself that most often I find myself near the northern rampart and go to the shore of the bay through one of the arches. This embankment is not landscaped, here walk locals mostly, it is quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and this place is very much to my liking. The wide path is replaced by a narrow path, and the walk along the embankment has to end - there is no further road, further the territory that is awaiting renovation, the passage is closed. I take photos of blossoming apple and cherry trees, and turn towards the city center.
I walk down the alley, turn into yards, continue to admire the blossoming trees. Today I don't plan on photographing postcard sights, my goal is the local history museum. To be even more precise, my goal is the exhibition on the square next to the museum. Pegasus with a foal, a sawfish, Archimedes in a bathtub, an attentive eye and a monster mosquito, all against the background of old brick walls.

It's great that it's now accessible and you can see so much beauty. I loved the historical exhibits. I also consider it a unique place.

Have a great day!
A beautiful place for walking, the cultural heritage building still look sturdy. Thank you. Greetings.
Thank you so much!
Great they open it for everyone. Such a beautiful place to walk and visit. It's sad to see such gorgeous place at a nice area being abandoned.
In fact, every year it is more and more difficult to find abandoned places for nostalgic strolls, the other embankments are already landscaped and, as a consequence, they are crowded. Thank you so much!
Ohh, Hope Kronstadt will be renovated. People would love to go to nostalgic and historical places.
What a fantastic place to visit, those metal sculptures are fantastic pieces of art
I love looking at sculptures like this, they are literally created from all the junk that's piled up in the workshop, but the result is amazing! Thank you so much!
You're welcome, Yes scrap yard art is fascinating
Oh, but that's a great experience. Going there definitely gives you a change of scenery. And those wooden sculptures look so interesting.
Greetings, @tatdt!
