By this time the river Small Kaliteniz already almost was not. The channel silted up and overgrown with reeds, the bottom was littered with debris and driftwood. Tech hills along a small stream. With his clearance and began our big case. Initially it was a simple environmental project, but when revived the river, then had the idea to build a waterfront Park with a recreation center. In “honor” of the bends of the river called it “the Bend”, – told the “Union” one of the builders and keepers of the Park Aleksandr Polosin.
the river, he said, was the place of attraction and the first attraction of the Park was the bridge over the animated water. The creative impulse of the farmer and his team was already not hold. For three consecutive years after the completion of the field operators, drivers and combine operators become bricklayers, tilers, carpenters… To help adults came children. The work went on in two shifts. Found their artists and landscape designers.
the Idea was born directly on the move, and soon in the don steppe appeared… of the pyramid. The construction was carried out in strict accordance with the principles of “Golden section” observed the angles of inclination of all faces, as well as a clear orientation to the cardinal points. The main building material was wood.
the biggest pyramid has a height of 12 metres (four storey house). Inside is a pool, sauna, Billiards, restaurant and living rooms. Soon there were five pyramids of smaller size – four duplex guest houses. Each pyramid has its own unique style and décor, and, of course, its own name – “Africa”, “Maya”, “Ocean”, “Dino” and “Hummingbird.”
– Count the investment will not work, as it was built from local funds. Material for wall cladding of steel burned in forest fires in dry trees. Sliced thin rings, sanded, painted, stained, linseed oil and varnish, and they “played” and turned into elegant decorative elements, – says Alexander. – Caught in the river driftwood, covered with barnacles, become fanciful birds that adorn the gazebo. Found at the dump millstones, old mills and the Foundation of the doorways of extinct houses “the don Stonehenge” and fountain “the Source of life.” Dead trees with the saw turned into sculptures of characters from Russian and Belarusian folk tales.
Another original idea of the Park began ethnographic and culinary duels. The idea was born during the collective construction. At the end of a working day the farmers arranged a joint dinner at the table and decide whose dish is tastier. Until the Cossacks cooks, singing songs.
I had to build a large Russian stove, stoked it, only the wood and kindling. And for singers and musicians scene. Now in the summer on Saturdays on the farm Samburu are culinary and ethnographer- diffraction matches, which are attended by the whole neighborhood.
Serves mostly the dishes of the Cossack kitchen, which a cook book farm of about a thousand. All products, including lamb and beef, local production, and because the competition for any vacationer.
Three years was under construction. Earned in full force last year, checked in at the Booking. Local from the Rostov region, come for the weekend, it’ll be mostly families from Moscow and St. Petersburg. There were cases that people came to spend the night, and then, waving his hand in the Black sea, remained to relax with us. Here fishing and Hiking, and for the kids expanse – safe beach, Playground. It is even possible to live as a brigand, in the tree house, Alexandr Polosin.
the popularity of farm holidays shows a diploma. Visitors Ecopark appreciated in Booking the service and conditions 9.2 points out of a possible 10. This year the restrictive measures on the coronavirus has affected the flow of tourists, but the creators of the eco-Park do not lose heart, especially in the region lifted the quarantine for tourists.
