Krylatsky Holme, Protected natural area in Moscow, Russia.
Krylatsky Holme is a protected natural area in Moscow featuring rolling hills, walking paths, and diverse plant species throughout its landscape. The site is accessible from multiple entry points along Krylatskaya Street and connected to Moscow's public transportation network by bus routes.
Krylatsky Hills is a landscape park of 175 hectares on the slopes of the right bank of the Moskva River, on a spur of the Teplystan Upland. It was granted the status of a specially protected natural area of regional significance by Moscow Government Decree No. 564 of 21 July 1998. The park takes its name from the former village of Krylatskoye, which was absorbed into Moscow, and from its terrain of hills and three ravines.
Local residents use this space daily for walks, jogging, and family outings throughout the year. The park functions as a place where people step away from the city's pace to spend time outdoors.
The park covers 175 hectares on the slopes of the right bank of the Moskva River, with several hills and three ravines, so expect climbs and descents. A circular cycle track built for the 1980 Olympics runs through the whole park, and ski slopes operate in winter. The spring "Rudenskaya Bozhya Mat" and the 19th-century Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos stand in the central part.
