Setun valley detailed map. Along Setun: a walk with old and new stories. Types of excursions and entertainment

Setun - the largest right tributary of the Moscow River. Despite the proximity of residential and industrial areas, its meandering channel within the city (17 km long) has preserved its natural surroundings and natural shores. This distinguishes the Setun from other Moscow rivers and makes it a "green corridor" that stretches from the Sparrow Hills to the Vakovsky forest park near Moscow.

Story

About the ancient population Setun Valley testify to the Bronze Age Davydkovo burial ground (2 thousand years BC) and the Vyatichi Matveevskoe settlement with a barrow cemetery (XI-XIII centuries). Once upon a time, the word "sedun" ("sagging" place) called a hollow overgrown with swampy forest between the Tatar and Teplostan uplands, where the rivers Ramenka, Filka and Setun itself flow.
Three old manor complexes have been preserved on the territory of the reserve. Troitse-Golenishchevo(known since the XIV century) belonged to the boyars Golenishchev, and then to the Metropolitan of Moscow Daniel. The village received its second name with the construction of a church in 1644. Life-Giving Trinity. Spasskoe-on-Setun previously it was the village of Manukhin and belonged to the boyars Larion Sumin, Pushkin and Artamon Matveev. And in 1676, under Matveev, the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands was erected here. Up the river - Troekurovo. In the XVI - XVII centuries the village was called Khoroshevo and belonged to Ivan the Terrible and the Godunovs. Under the new owners, the Troekurovs, in 1706 the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was built here (now restored and operating), and then a park with ponds was laid out under the Saltykovs.
AT late XIX century on a new railway Moscow summer residents began to come to the banks of the Setun. Appeared and industrial enterprises. After the revolution, party leaders settled in holiday villages; dachas of M.I. Kalinin and I.V. Stalin. Today in these places there are state dachas, the Volynskoye congress park and the Golden Keys residential complex.
In 1960, Moscow swallowed up the village of Fili and the city of Kuntsevo, and the surrounding area Setun began to build up. In 1998, the natural reserve "Valley of the Setun River" was created, large-scale work began on cleaning up the territory and decommissioning industrial facilities.
