TOP 10 Essentuki attractions in one day

Essentuki is known to us as the most famous mineral water in Russia. To get acquainted with the homeland of Caucasian Narzan from MinVod, we went straight to the resort and today my article is about Essentuki attractions in one day. People go to KMV not to relax, but to get treatment, and among them Essentuki is a health resort that heals many digestive ailments with water. You can drink healing water here completely free of charge and in any quantity; the only restrictions are doctor’s testimony.

Features of Essentuki that you need to know about

Before Essentuki became a city, it was called the village of Essentuki. And they turned into a resort after local Cossacks noticed the healing properties of local water and began to dig homemade pits - baths to heal wounds after battles. The unique deposit of mineral water has made this place the best gastroenterological resort in the country.

Now Essentuki is a cozy green town with almost 30 sanatoriums, the treatment of which is based on the use of the healing powers of underground springs, which are considered one of the most mineralized waters in the world. What we buy in supermarkets is water that has lost most of its beneficial properties; real medicinal water can only be tasted in pump rooms. I was convinced of this from personal experience - I was never able to find purchased water that tasted similar to the original.

What to see in Essentuki in winter

If the question arises about what to see in Essentuki in winter, we will answer right away: the same as at any other time of the year. Essentuki is an all-season resort. The climate in this area of the Caucasian Mineral Waters is continental, mountain-steppe. The winter is not cold, there are thaws with positive temperatures, especially in recent years, but serious frosts are not excluded. The main thing is to be prepared for any vagaries of the weather and dress correctly. Therefore, when going on a trip, do not forget to check the weather forecast.

The park contains most of the drinking and bathing buildings, and the healing factor here is environmentally friendly air, called climatotherapy. Conventionally, it is divided into three sections: Lower, Upper and Panteleimonovsky.

On its territory there are pump rooms with the famous mineral water of Essentuki 4 and 17, walking paths with three routes of varying lengths, which are intended not only for leisurely walks, but also for rehabilitation after illness, and the bathhouse of Nicholas II.

The square is called Teatralnaya because here is the Fyodor Chaliapin Concert Hall , a former touring theater where all celebrities give concerts and theaters that come to Essentuki on tour give performances. On such days, vacationers are brought here from sanatoriums in neighboring resort towns.

The Concert Hall is the largest concert venue in the resort, with three halls.

Resort Park

Now it is difficult to imagine that the site of the park was once bare steppe, and the beautiful resort park of Essentuki is the creation of human hands.

The history of the resort park began in 1847, when Count Vorontsov, who in those years was the governor of the Caucasus, decided to green the Essentuki resort. “We need to think,” he wrote to the director of the Waters, “how to decorate this completely bare and ugly place, open to the winds from all winds, by planting trees.” And already in 1849, seedlings of trees and shrubs from the Tiflis Botanical Garden and from Warsaw nurseries began to be imported to Essentuki. At the same time, 2 companies of soldiers were sent to Essentuki to drain the swamp and establish a park, who planted 7.5 thousand trees in the park.

The park has four main entrances, and according to the terrain features it is divided into Upper and Lower. The lower part of the park is connected to the city center by a magnificent cascading staircase decorated with fountains. Vacationers went down the stairs to the Park Theater building, built in 1901. Here they walked in inclement weather, in the evening the Park Theater turned into a concert hall, where famous singers performed - Fyodor Chaliapin, Leonid Sobinov, the famous trainer A.L. Durov, and in 1927 - Vladimir Mayakovsky.

Source Gallery No. 17

The main attraction of the resort is its healing mineral springs; they were first explored by Dr. F. P. Haaz, but did not attach much importance to them. All mineral water outlets in this area were studied in more detail in 1823 by Professor A.P. Nelyubin. In total, he described 28 springs, two of those springs are located in the resort park, are still working and their numbering has been preserved.

Not far from the main entrance to the park stands Gallery of the Source No. 17 , built of sandstone in the Moorish style in 1856 according to the design of Samuel Upton, the architect of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. Be sure to visit it; the gallery is decorated with light marble and decorated with stained glass windows and statues.

Be careful when drinking mineral waters; do not forget that this is a medicine that is drunk according to a certain regimen and in the amount prescribed by the doctor. But you can try to be aware. Also pay attention to the beautiful cast-iron gazebo made by Ural craftsmen standing near the gallery. In the second half of the 19th century it was a pavilion for the spring's pump room.

Musical gazebo "Rococo"

There is more than one gazebo in the park, but the Rococo musical gazebo is among the most popular attractions in the park. It was made in 1879 at the Rostov Iron Foundry using artistic forging techniques; musicians performed in the gazebo during the summer holiday season. Nowadays, this glorious tradition continues; in the summer, in the park, just like a hundred years ago, a brass band plays in a gazebo.

Tsander Institute of Mechanotherapy

A beautiful building, built in German half-timbered technology, is the Zander Institute of Mechanotherapy . In the seventies of the 19th century, the Swedish doctor Gustav Zander developed a system of mechanotherapy for the harmonious development of the body through systematic, dosed exercises of all muscle groups of the body. Zander invented more than a hundred devices for active and passive gymnastics. In 1902, many of them were purchased for the Essentuki resort and a special building was built to house them. Such devices were used in Europe, but there such institutions have long become museums, but here the ancient devices are in working order and continue to be used to improve people’s health.

Historical buildings of sanatoriums

If you are interested in the history of the resort, pay attention to the historical buildings of the sanatoriums located in the park and around it. Not far from the Nikolaev Baths there is a sanatorium “Healing Key”. Its dormitory building occupies the building in which the city's first large comfortable hotel, Kompaneiskaya, was opened in 1875. Building No. 2 of the Rossiya sanatorium is the former Donskaya hotel, opened in 1903.

The Istok Hotel was built in 1903 by advisor Nikolai Bugrov and Nikolaev merchants, the Maltsev brothers, who received permission to build a stone two-story house for free accommodation of visiting “sick” people. Nikolai Bugrov was a Manufacturing Advisor, the Maltsev brothers were engaged in grain production, grain trading, they were of the merchant class and Old Believer religion, so the first name of the sanatorium was “Old Believer Sanatorium”.

Mud bath named after N. A. Semashko

One of the most famous and beautiful buildings of the Essentuki resort is the Semashko Mud Bath .

The new mud bath was named Alekseevskaya, in honor of Tsarevich Alexei, the son of Emperor Nicholas II. For the second century, the mud bath annually welcomes hundreds of vacationers, using the healing silt mud of Lake Tambukan for treatment. In front of the building, the ancient Greek god of healing Aesculapius (Asclepius) and his daughter Hygieia, the goddess of purity and health, sit on the “thrones”.
