Visited Fort Totleben today. This is an artificial island in the Gulf of Finland, poured into 18 century to repel enemy attacks on St. Petersburg. The route in the picture in the form of a blue line is 5 km one way.
I went skiing on the frozen Gulf of Finland.
On one side is a large land
On the other is Fort Totleben
And I'm in the middle
Fort Totleben is getting closer and closer
And suddenly, in the midst of the silence, a low-frequency rumble began to grow, followed by deafening explosions of ice — gone long cracks. I almost lost my heart to this horror :)
Almost there
And here he is, Fort Totleben
During the Great Patriotic War, artillery strikes were made from here on German troops
Here, there must have been a spinning cannon
Observation post. From here the unit commander looked through binoculars
Only walls remained from the soldiers' barracks
DUK was here
There is nothing inside for a long time
It clearly needs to be renovated
