Novosibirsk: Destinations
A fountain that has never worked
There is a fountain not far from where I live, which I have never seen working. It is nicely shaped, though somewhat heavy, and does not look like any other fountain in the city. It looks as if it was created about a century ago or more somewhere in Europe. When I was walking by I often wondered why no one had ever tried to repair the fountain. But several months ago I bought a book called ‘Mythosibirsk’ (the word is a mixture of two words — ‘myth’ and ‘sibirsk’, which is a part of Novosibirsk), and I had answers to all my questions.
Rocks on the Berd, Novosibirsk Region, all year round
Rocks on the river Berd, also known as Zveroboy, in Maslyaninsky District, is one of the most beautiful areas in the whole Novosibirsk Region. Tastes differ, of course, but I think there is hardly any person, who would feel indifferent standing on top of a rocky hill looking at the curve of a small river.
