For the fountains - in Peterhof!

If you go to admire the fountains, then, of course, we must rush into Peterhof.
Peterhof was rebuilt on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland thanks to the idea of ​​Peter I, who decided
create a "Russian Versailles" in the vicinity of St. Petersburg.

In the XVIII century, the construction of Peterhof and the installation of the first fountains began.
There are a lot of fountains here, no, very much!
They are diverse in form, content.
There are classical fountains, there are fountains-crackers.
There are fountains, organized on the water surface of natural reservoirs.

Perhaps, I will start with quiet fountains, set right on the lakes and ponds ..
I love such quiet corners of nature, where you can relax from the city bustle.

By the way, water jets that do not scare the animals living on the lake.
Ducks not only calmly swim in the streams of the fountain, but also enjoy themselves basking in the sun, perched on the sculptures that make up the composition.
On the trees surrounding the reservoir, squirrels gallop, emptying the nuts of good tourists)
I also fed nimble red beauties.

Rest by the water, after a long walk through the territory of Peterhof as part of the excursion group was healing. Rest and legs and head).
I will tell you about the other fountains of Peterhof next time.

All travelers who travel for the first time to Peterburg, with pleasure I recommend to visit the amazing "Russian Versailles".
You can get here not only as part of the excursion group.
All possible ways to get yourself here are listed on the site of this wonderful museum-reserve.
