The Past and Present of Govorovsky Forest
The history of Govorovsky Forest began in the 1950s. After the war, Vasily Shurygin, a veteran of the war, came to the village of Govorovo and found work in the local forestry department. He maintained order and was responsible for landscaping the area. Over 40 years, Shurygin planted approximately 55,000 trees. Therefore, Govorovsky Forest is often called "Vaska's Forest" in memory of its keeper.
Currently, linden, pine, and birch trees grow in the park. You can admire these trees along the educational and excursion route. The wide eco-trail is constructed of metal decking, secured to piles above the ground. This route is suitable for mothers with strollers and visitors with limited mobility.
During warmer months, we recommend removing your shoes and walking barefoot along the sensory trail. There are areas with logs, bark, wood chips, sand, and pine cones, totaling 75 meters. Cyclists and walkers will appreciate the path along the main alley of the Govorovsky Forest. It is made of eco-friendly Elastopave—a polyurethane coating with granite chips.
Caring for Nature
The main asset of the Govorov Forest is its inhabitants. Thanks to the work of entomologists and ornithologists, insects and birds have returned to the forest. They were attracted by the honey plants and wooden mini-houses. Bees, bumblebees, and wasps began to settle in these "dormitories."
The Govorov Forest was completely transformed when wooden recreation areas and a "green lecture hall" appeared on its grounds. Now, many teachers teach lessons outdoors. They introduce students to the local flora and fauna and teach them to protect and care for nature.
Staying at the AZIMUT City Hotel Comcity, you can also visit the Govorovsky Forest, Meshchersky Nature Park, the writers' village in Peredelkino, the Ostafyevo Museum-Reserve, and the Great Moscow State Circus.
