Hiking the Bald Mountain

Long ago we Mihanya did not go through Bitsevsky forest in the direction of Yasenevo, on Bald Mountain. Previously, a few years ago, it was one of our favorite routes. In the direction of the Bald Mountain, we usually walked along the main alley, a fairly wide asphalt path passing through a light birch forest. And for the way back, we chose a forest path winding between the ravines first through mixed alder and hazel trees, and then , closer to the equestrian sports complex Bitsa passing into a pine forest...
Today we saw how much everything has changed... The main alley was widened, marking for cyclists and pedestrians was made. Along the alleys were installed benches, and along it, stepping back about 50 meters, obradovali barbecues. Seems to be convenient, but this "domestication" walking on the main Avenue Potrero a big part of its charm ((.

At the first opportunity they turned off it to the usual forest path and went to the springs, where at one time Mihanya liked to go for water. The springs has also changed, becoming a creature of wooden architecture. Unfortunately, without fiction, Treasury. The spirit of the Bitsevsky forest and the beating of the earth key with ice-cold water had been lost(((.

Previously, on the highest part of the Bald Mountain were dug several dozen "idols" - pillars with the image of pagan gods and totems. They were skillfully cut by enthusiastic artists and placed on a beautiful meadow. The people walking on the Bald Mountain liked to rest on this meadow surrounded by these" fabulous " images. Now they have all fallen into decay. Part ,as regular half-decayed logs lying in the grass. Part of still until survived, but has neglected and no one not ensured kind of...

At rest , the fallen, the idols sat down to relax people, and to photograph what was left of them, failed...

On the very same Bald Mountain for some reason planted rows of ornamental rose bushes, which is suitable for this place, like a cow saddle (((. Only on the edges of the forest remained characteristic of the old Bald Mountain motley grass and colors...

Probably, me and Mihanya again will not want to go to Bald Mountain for a long time. We have more iterative and beautiful routes where people have not clumsily interfered with the Affairs of nature....
