Полушкинские каменоломни, Limestone quarries near Moskva River, Russia
The Polushkino quarries form a network of caves and open pits with steep stone walls located on the northern bank of the Moskva River.
The limestone extracted from these quarries between 1817 and 1825 was intended for the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.
The quarries include five distinct sections named Outpost, Snake Cave, Dragon's Jaw, Rhinoceros Nose, and Lost World, each offering different climbing experiences.
Multiple training routes at the quarries accommodate both professional climbers and beginners, with regular climbing instruction sessions taking place throughout the year.
The quarries stand within a protected natural monument where rare Matteucia plants grow among limestone outcrops and karst formations.
