Last weekend he visited Mount Kirchhof.

Mount Kirchhof is 20 kilometers south of St. Petersburg, not far from the village of Mozhaisky, east of the Red village in the direction of Gatchina. In the beginning "радиолюбительской карьеры" he visited Mount Kirchhof to hold close and distant VHF radio communications. This time there was no antennas with them, since the purpose of the trip was somewhat different - during good sunny weather, walk with the family and photograph the mountain and its environs. In winter, Mount Kirchhof works as a center of outdoor activities "Туутари парк" for lovers of skiing. And in the summer, this ski resort is an ordinary park for hiking.

The theater begins with a hanger, and a visit to any attractions from the parking lot for personal cars. Since the public does not go here, people come here by car.

On the right side of the parking behind the power lines is the top of the mountain. In order not to have a desire to drive closer to the mountain, the entrance is blocked by a barrier and laid by boulders.

Further choice: immediately go to the top, or around the mountain from the north bypass it. I choose the second way to capture the mountain from all angles.

Nearby are traps for playing the Golf disc (Frisby-Golf-golf with "flying saucers").
But more on that later.

Frisby-golf rug for playing.

Nearby is a steep slope. (As I understand it, the highway drive goes from the bottom up, gradually rising to the hill)

If you go down the road, you get into the ski valley of the eastern slope of the mountain. In the background, a trap of the Golf disk is visible.

This is how a Frisby-Golf trap looks like a playing trap. As the girl who met on the mountain explained to us, the goal of the game: to get from the point "запуска" disk - rug ("чтобы все были в одинаковых условиях") to the trap for 3 strokes. There is a concept "Par" - это норматив за который нужно пройти всю дистанцию (18 отрезков). Трасса для фризби гольфа в Туутари парке традиционно бесплатная.

I go upstairs. On the way, the scree of gravel comes across, apparently ending here at the end of the ice age.
On gravel and gravel of which nothing grows.

When climbing up the mountain, various vegetation is found. For example, tansy.

From the south-east side, the Kirchhof from the village is led to the top of the road used, apparently, to carry ski inventory.Click to increase

Almost at the very top of Kirchhof.

At the top, lifts for skiers are installed.
