    Подлеморье

    Grab a coffee or tea at Подлеморье. It opens at 09:00, so it will be ready for you well before the evening rush. The café is adjacent to the Retro-Park area, making it a convenient warm-up spot before the climb.

    Путь Тарзана

    Walk past Путь Тарзана. This short 4-minute walk from the anchor area gets you moving toward the viewing point without straining your legs for the hike.

    Cherskov's rock

    Reach Cherskov's Rock for sunset. At 21:13 on July 15th, the sun sets toward the NW, casting golden light over the lake from this 270 m vantage point. Note that this spot is easily accessible and often crowded in summer, so arrive with enough time to secure a good spot.

  4. 21:43

    Дендрарий

    End the evening with a stroll through Дендрарий. It is a 17-minute walk from the anchor in the SSW direction, offering a calm, green contrast to the exposed rock after the sunset view.
