Tourists coming to the Voronezh Region can easily get lost now. The "Labyrinth of Labyrinths" opened on the territory of the Lomovsky Natural Landscape Park, the third in a row in Russia
It is conceived as a kind of museum of all the labyrinths that have ever existed in the world. And the authors also say that their monumental work symbolizes the earthly wanderings of man in search of truth.
NTV correspondent Olga Chernova was convinced that there is always a way out.
At the opening of the "stone miracle" - as the villagers called the new art object - they decided to bring the people on carts, leaving the cars away. Horses, serene landscapes and steppe silence were supposed to set people up for a philosophical journey through the "Labyrinth of Labyrinths", built on the site of the extinct Loma farm.
Vasily Kozlov, author of the project "Lomovskaya's Labyrinth of Labyrinths": "The Lomovskiy Labyrinth of Labyrinths contains information from all the labyrinths that have ever existed on our mortal land."
At every turn and in the dead ends of an intricate structure there are “page stones”, which tell legends and beliefs about European, Chinese, Egyptian and other labyrinths of the world. What was the true purpose of these ancient structures, scientists are still wondering. The Lomov new building, its authors say, also has its own secret for posterity, but today the idea is simple: the Russian labyrinth of the 21st century as a symbol of man's path to truth.
Yuri Durov, a resident of the village Muzhichye: “You know, like in my life. I am already an old person, I live a lot, I have several marriages. And so I walk, walk and wander through life, as in this labyrinth of yours."
Alexey Meshkov, a resident of the village of Nikolskoye: "You can understand in this labyrinth that your life was both difficult and simple, and there is a way out."
The Lomov stone miracle was built for six months by several enthusiasts according to the scheme of the Great Solovetsky labyrinth. They were looking for giant sandstones from 500 kilograms to two tons all over the area.
Vasily Kozlov: “We couldn't get these stones from anywhere! And they gathered on the high hills, and in deep streams, where water washed them. Here the stones are mysterious, with the deposition of vegetation, with the deposition of the bones of some animals."
The keeper of the labyrinth invited the students to feel the energy of ancient stones and to think about their future profession along the winding path.
Vasily Kozlov: "We seem to be going into a dead end, but we are such guys that we will definitely find a way out of the dead end!"
83-year-old Anastasia Ivanovna, spinning in stone corridors, suddenly wanted to sing. The pensioner, tired of looking for a way out, decided to go ahead. And the schoolchildren staged a competition, having learned about the belief, which says: if, standing in the center, make a wish and quickly get out of the stone confusion, it will come true.
Anastasia Kozlova, a student of the school with. First Nikolskoe: “There is such a zeal - to reach the middle and back in order to make a wish. Generally class."
At night, the sand boulders are illuminated by searchlights. The mysterious object is visible from afar. The dog Palma, the chief guard of the mysterious Loma farm, informs about the appearance of unexpected travelers.
"Lomovskoy labyrinth of labyrinths" will work around the clock. The creators of the project remind tourists of one ancient omen: in order to avoid the treachery of the labyrinth, you need to leave something in Germany, for example, a coin.
