Cheerful warning.

Magnolia alley on Pavlova street.

After wandering around the surroundings adjacent to the sea and getting acquainted with the railway, we will look into that part of the city that is separated from the sea by the railway

and the federal highway A-147 Dzhubga - Tuapse - Sochi - Adler - the state border with Abkhazia. The length is 217 km.

For the convenience of traveling from one part of the city to another through cars and railways. roads in the city are made special passages under the paths and on top of them.

On this side of the city there is a railway station and a bus station.

Acquaintance with the city began with the square (park) located in front of the Center of National Cultures. It seems to be one of the key recreation points in the city.

The architectural composition "Kind Angel of the World" was erected in the center. In Lazarevsky it was opened on October 18, 2008. This sculpture, a world symbol of kindness and mercy, marked a new stage in the international relay race of cities that this angel united under his wing on the eve of the 2014 Olympic Games. These are Russian cities headed by the city of Moscow, Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Donetsk is a city in Ukraine, and also the capital North Korea Pyongyang.

The central part of the composition is a granite column, on which stands a beautiful angel, as if walking along a hemisphere, meaning the Earth. In his hands he holds a dove - a symbol of Peace and Hope.

Bench of reconciliation, located nearby. There are many of them installed in the shade of green spaces.

Walking along the streets of Lazarevsky, you rejoice at the abundance of southern greenery, trees, bushes, and flowers. All this blossoms and fragrant.

Here even palm trees have grown to large sizes. In order to protect them from collisions with cars and other equipment, they were surrounded by concrete rings. I wonder if they were brought in already so big or did they grow here?

There are many lawns in the city, decorated with various handicrafts and on various themes, many monuments and sculptures.

Lots of souvenir shops


And shops.

Local information center

The streets running along the seashore lie on a flat terrain. It is worth starting to move away from the sea as the streets immediately begin to climb uphill. For convenience, the streets are made in the form of stairs. On such a road, not only a healthy person, but also a disabled person in a wheelchair will easily climb. On one of these streets I got to the observation deck "Eagle's Nest"

Sanatorium drowned in the greenery of trees.

Wherever you look, beauty and the triumph of nature are everywhere.

It is said that there was a real eagle's nest here.

I did not see him, I had to be content with a beautiful panorama. For visiting the observation deck, they charged me a hundred rubles, as a consolation, they gave me damaged binoculars. I had to use it as a spyglass. Damaged binoculars, this is perhaps the only disappointment from visiting Lazarevsky.


Climbing the forest part of the route, you can see how some trees use others for their development.

On the way we met a large dead snake. A victim of a car accident. At first it was somehow dumb to approach her. After all, you don’t know why she lies and is alive or not on the road until a local resident who went to meet us explained the situation. The snake, more than a meter long, turned out to be a yellow-bellied lizard. Yellowbells feed mainly on molluscs. They are very fond of snails. And on the “dining table” this legless lizard has insects (various beetles), mice, toads, lizards, snakes, small chicks and even bird eggs. Do not disdain yellow-bellied and carrion. The snake is not poisonous and useful, it was not worth killing it. I wish I could launch this one in my garden to fight the dominance of snails.

Viewing the city from the observation deck is an interesting and exciting activity.

but if it’s hard for you to make a road leading to the mountains, then you can use the Ferris wheel that is installed in the city Central Park of Culture and Culture.
In the village of Lazarevskoye, on July 1, 2012, the largest Ferris wheel in Russia was opened. It can climb to a height of more than 82 meters, it consists of 20 open and closed cabins that can accommodate up to 140 people. About thirty million rubles were spent on it, it weighs 450 tons, it was made in Moscow, and then it was delivered in parts to the place in the village of Lazarevskoye.

The views from it are no less interesting,

and looking at the panorama of the city, you will certainly be interested in the area that is located across the river.

This is the fishing area. You can get there by city bus or on foot along the road bridge.
