Description

Krestovaya Polyana is a unique place, lost among the Zhiguli Mountains, which attracts attention with its picturesque nature and rich history. Located between the villages of Gavrilova Polyana and Shiryaevo, it is surrounded on all sides by mountains covered with dense deciduous forest and overlooks the Volga. It received the name “Cross Glade” due to its shape, which resembles a cross when viewed from above.

Previously, the Zhiguli tourist center and the Gorny pioneer camp were located on this territory, which gave this place a special charm and atmosphere of relaxation. However, in recent decades, the camp site was sold and turned into a rehabilitation center for drug addicts, and then became a place to live for refugees from various regions of the country. These changes have led to various rumors and legends about the place.

Today Krestovaya Polyana remains an attractive place for walking and relaxing. The dirt road leading along the Volga from Gavrilova Polyana to Shiryaevo passes through it, providing the opportunity to enjoy picturesque views and the unique atmosphere of the area. On the way you can see abandoned buildings of the tourist center, as well as local attractions, such as small sandy beaches near the Volga.

However, in addition to beautiful views and history, there are also mystical legends around Krestovaya Polyana. One of these legends tells about a mined underground passage leading to the Refrigerator on Krasnaya Glinka, which gives this place even more mystery and mystery.

Thus, Krestovaya Polyana remains a unique and attractive place for everyone who wants to plunge into the atmosphere of nature and history, experience the adrenaline of adventure and plunge into the world of mysticism and mysteries.
