nature reserve"Valley of the Setun River" (696.05 hectares) is the largest "Green Island" located within the city. Compared to many other natural and natural-historical parks and reserves in Moscow, which have a compact territory, the Setun River Valley nature reserve stretches along the riverbed and is “clamped” on both sides by residential and industrial buildings.
Setun is the largest right tributary of the Moscow River within the city. The length of the river is 38 kilometers, and more than half of them falls on the territory of Moscow. There are many springs in the Setun valley. Floodplain meadows and swamps of the reserve are adjacent to small forest areas
Surprisingly diverse plant and animal world natural reserve, located almost in the heart of the metropolis. Birch, oak, linden and even pine forests growing on the steep and gentle slopes of the river valley are replaced by riverine complexes consisting of willow and gray alder forests; coastal meadows and shrubs surrounding the outlets of spring waters alternate with lowland marshes. The modern flora of the reserve includes 384 species of vascular plants, 47 of which are rare for Moscow. AT forest areas and on the meadows you can see blooming May lily of the valley, small burr, spring primrose, bluebells, orchids and other plants listed in the Red Book of the city. Weasel, black polecat and ermine are found in the floodplain of Setun. In the reservoirs you can see the water shrew and the muskrat. 41 species of vertebrates living in the reserve are rare for Moscow. In total, 5 species of amphibians, 69 species of birds and 18 species of mammals have been recorded in the river valley. 62 species of birds nest on the territory of the reserve.
Among the magnificence of flora and fauna, valuable objects of history and culture are located on the territory of the reserve: archaeological sites, remains of ancient settlements and burials. This is the Matveevsky settlement, which existed in the pre-Mongolian period, with a preserved barrow cemetery. As well as the Davydkovsky burial ground, discovered during the development of a quarry on the left bank of the Setun.
Within the boundaries of the nature reserve there are three old manor parks: the Troyekurovo estate, Spasskoye on Setun, Troitse-Golenishchevo. The architectural monuments include the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands on Setun (1676), the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker with elements of the park (XVII-XVIII centuries), the church Life-Giving Trinity in Trinity-Golenishchevo (1644-1645), Church of the Intercession Holy Mother of God(XVII century), country estate of Prince Troekurov (XVIII-XIX centuries).

The river passes through Solntsevo, crosses the Moscow Ring Road at the Skolkovskoye Highway, and flows into the Moscow River near the Berezhkovsky Bridge. Since May 2007, a spring in the Setun valley, located at the base of its right-bank slope, upstream from the Aminevsky bridge, has the status of a specially protected area of regional significance.

The reserve includes two large forests - Matveevsky (Volynsky) and Troekurovsky forests. The area of the Matveevsky forest is about 100 hectares, the Setun River crosses it from west to east.

Ecology

Among the main problems of the reserve - construction works that have changed the natural physical landscape of the zone, as well as dumps of soil, household and construction debris. Environmental activists estimate the damage at hundreds of millions of rubles. Environmentalists are concerned about the construction of an 11-kilometer understudy of Kutuzovsky Prospekt in the reserve in the Ramenki area. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2020. locals and activists demand to ban the construction of the road. In the summer of 2018, an illegal concrete production was discovered on the territory of the reserve. master plan the city is designated as a multifunctional public area.

Pollution of the river with garbage and the construction of highways and parking lots near the reserve led to a change in the shape of the Setun channel, flooding of some floodplain areas and erosion of the banks, increased soil erosion - because of this, the local flora and fauna also changed. In the middle and lower reaches of the river, due to the discharge of toxic waste, there is practically no aquatic vegetation. Urban development in the lower reaches of the Setun River led to the extinction of species such as the common water shrew and ermine in 1975 in the Matveevsky forest last time the grizzled woodpecker has been recorded. In the 2010s, many areas of the brilliant beauty's habitat have been lost.

Excursion No. 1 "Nezhinskaya floodplain"

The Nezhensky section of the Setun valley is one of the most interesting. Here the maximum expression is reached by the main natural feature of the reserve - the presence of large open spaces with meadow areas of varying degrees of moisture.

The landscape consists of a floodplain, fragments of terraces above the floodplain, and slopes of the Setun bedrock banks. The length of the route is 1.5 kilometers, and the duration is 2-2.5 hours.

Map of the Reserve "Valley of the Setun River"

Do you know that the natural reserve "Valley of the Setun River" is the largest in Moscow? It occupies 696 hectares and stretches (more precisely, meanders after the river) from the Third Ring to the Moscow Ring Road. We just passed it most- along Mosfilmovskaya street, where the territory has been ennobled and an excellent walking trail has been created. How convenient it is to walk further, I think, we will find out in the near future.
At the same time, we visited the Setun camp, which turned out to be a very curious place, and also finally found out the end of the story about.
Who is interested - welcome!

So, the beginning of the route Mosfilmovskaya street, the stop "Pudovkina Street" or "Foreign Trade Academy". Then you need to delve into the passages between the buildings of house 6 along Dovzhenko Street and look for the river, to which descents and ladders lead. End - Minsk street, stop "Stone dam". The length is about 4 km, the path winds one by one, then along the other bank, sometimes along both at once.
2. But before walking along the river, we cross it on the bridge ...

3. We leave the green zone for a short while, we pass quite a bit and see ...

Two armored personnel carriers mark the entrance to the Setunsky Stan stunt fortress, recently renamed the Master Panin Cinema Adventure Park. They started more than 20 years ago with a stunt school, where they took mostly difficult teenagers. Now it is a school of stuntmen, and large-scale shows, and museums, and I don’t know what else. At the same time, the territory makes a very strange impression - it is dusty, unkempt, full of garbage and rusting equipment and ... attractive. I tried to shoot more photogenic parts of it, a lot was left behind the scenes, and we probably didn’t see much.
3a. Boys - they are always and at any age boys ...

4. Before the "castle" there is a pickup truck on "foreign" wheels from a rocket carrier

7. There are vintage cars in the backyard behind the stage.

8. A lot of military equipment is scattered in the bushes

9. And the "under-tribune space" is decorated with original posters

The place intrigued me, and I found myself here again very soon. But more about that another time...

13. And we continue the walk

16. We are approaching "from the rear" to Dovzhenko Street, where in March there was a struggle against the closure of the only Pyaterochka chain store in the entire district. For a long time I tried to find on the net how that story ended, but to no avail. On the ground, everything immediately became clear.
June. Alas, the miracle did not happen :(
