Kremenki is a small town in the Kaluga region in the Zhukovsky district near the border of the Serpukhov district of the Moscow region. The city is located at the confluence of the Borovna and the Protva .

In 2005, the population was approximately 12.5 thousand people.

The history of the settlement dates back to the 18th century, then it was the village of Troitskoye, which belonged to the Serpukhov district and belonged to the ensign of the Preobrazhensky regiment Ivan Petrovich Dashkov. The development is connected with the construction needs of the city of Protvino.

This place was special in the life of E.R. Dashkova, who headed two Russian Academies of Sciences for almost 12 years. The beautiful nature attracted the attention of the princess, who grew up in St. Petersburg. She came here at the age of 16, walking around the estate and admiring nature. Then my husband and I decided to build a large two-story house with an attic in Troitsky on the banks of the Protva River. All her life, Ekaterina Romanovna created an estate, putting her soul and heart into it, her multifaceted knowledge of architecture. Ekaterina Romanovna’s estate is a unique estate, one of the best examples of estate architecture of the second half of the 18th century.

In 1941, the defense line of Moscow passed here. Monuments to the fallen were erected not far from the military burial ground.

The city was founded in 1975 near the village of Troitskoye, Kaluga region, not far from the confluence of the Borovna River with the Protva.

In accordance with Article 1 of the Law of the Kaluga Region dated December 28, 2004 No. 6-OZ, the status of “working village” of the settlement “Kremenki” was changed to the status of “city”

On August 25, 2006, the grand opening of the Square named after Ekaterina Romanovna Dashkova took place in the center of the city of Kremenka .

Today it is the Military History Museum . In the pre-perestroika years, a significant part of the residents of Kremenki were focused on working in Protvino and the city developed mainly as a satellite of the latter. Subsequently, there was a reorientation rather towards Serpukhov and somewhat towards Moscow. Some of the residents traditionally work in agriculture in nearby villages. There is a city market and a well-developed trading system. There is a production facility for the production of thermal insulating coatings and a glass container plant. The population is mainly employed at enterprises in the city of Protvino.

Since the Vyatichi sanatorium is located on the territory of the city, the city economy is primarily focused on servicing the flow of tourists from Moscow and the Moscow region.

Kremenki is famous for its regularly held motocross races in honor of Victory Day.

The city has preserved the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity with two symmetrical refectory chapels and a three-tiered bell tower. The temple is interesting as an architectural monument of the 18th century (made in the Moscow Baroque style) and as the tomb of an important figure in the history of Russia - E. R. Dashkova.

Nearby, in the village of Troitsky, ancient monuments related to the life of Ekaterina Dashkova have been preserved. of Dashkova’s estate and the church have survived to this day .

Photo walk to Kremenki. Report by Evgeny Sofronov from the Staromainsky district

Morning greetings to all nature lovers! In this photo report, I want to tell you how the day before yesterday we went on a joint trip to the Staromainsky district of our region, or rather to Kremenki. This time, besides me, there were two more nature lovers in the crew. This is Protodeacon Sergius, a wildlife lover already familiar to all of you, and Sergius’s old friend Dmitry (Doctor of Science, teacher at Ulyanovsk State University) agreed to go with us. We left quite early, at about six in the morning. We met the dawn at the entrance to the Presidential Bridge...

On the way to Staraya Maina we turned onto Kremenki... Usually, right away in the morning, to the right of the road on the wires, you see various birds. So it was this time. There were small things on the wires... This is a young meadow mint.

Regular oatmeal...

And finally we met two young common kestrels, I see them here all the time at this time of year. The kestrel is a very shy small predator and this was the only photo I could take. I didn't have time to focus the camera.

At the entrance to the village of Kremenki we were met by a pair of ravens.

Driving through the village, I met a young wheatear and a white wagtail.

Having driven a little further, we saw a black kite sitting on a cross in a small chapel. - Sinner. He atones for sins. Not an aesthetic shot,” says Sergius.

Immediately after the village we turn towards the Volga and drive along the coast by car... On the map it will be approximately HERE .

Having arrived, we saw how the Volga had become shallow, exposing its sandy banks. The water level probably dropped by 1-1.5 meters? From the window we take pictures of waders, of which there were many here. These are mostly young turukhtans.

There were also large godwits here.

Newcomers to photography, Sergiy and Dmitry, saw waders for the first time and found it difficult to focus on the waders with their cameras from the car window, so they decided to go out and take photographs from the shore.

While we were photographing the waders, a small plane flew almost above us.

A boat is rushing along the Volga... Fish conservation? Hardly that early.

We met a marsh harrier flying over the Volga...

Here, on the banks of the Volga, white-tailed eagles are often found...

One eagle managed to grab a fish, it seemed like an ide, from the surface of the water in front of me and flew along the shore. I managed to take this photo.

A decent flock of great cormorants was flying right at us... My fellow travelers did not have time to take photos of cormorants, since it is very difficult to focus their cameras on the flying bird.

We are driving further along the Volga bank...

Sergius really likes photographing the gray heron... He asks me to stop to capture this beauty.

Another small flock of great cormorants flies by... In a hurry to get somewhere?!

Agree with me, but not every time you see a gray heron land on the water and swim like a duck.

Let's move on...

Driving along an old road made from old sleepers, you encounter a huge flock of starlings. It seems to me that there are several thousand of them here. This is how they gather in a flock and prepare to fly to the southern regions for the winter.

Right there, on the banks of the Volga, rooks and jackdaws gather together...

We meet the beautiful yellow wagtail...

A little further, towards the house of commercial fishermen, we meet waders. These are mainly Turukhtan and Sandpiper again.

Driving along the sandy road towards the Slavyanskoye Podvorye BO, to our surprise, we come across a hoopoe. Handsome.

- Well, wow, we met such a bird! I would never have believed that in my life I would be able to see a hoopoe like this with my own eyes. I've only seen them in books. This is great luck for me,” says Dmitry.

For 20-25 minutes we tried to approach this handsome man, but the hoopoe did not let us near. Flew onto a fence near the road.

To the right, sitting on a pole, a young black kite is watching us.

We turn off the sandy road towards the forest... There are wild apples and ranet. Sergius tastes it.

“They are very sour, I don’t recommend taking them home,” the archdeacon concludes.

But I took a bag of these apples with me, they are tasty and aromatic.

We made a stop at a dry tree, which was covered in cobwebs, and began a photo hunt for small things, of which there were, to our surprise, a lot.

This ordinary bunting makes it possible to photograph itself as a souvenir of our meeting in Kremenki.

Warbler

garden warbler

Whitethroat.

Young curious Common Shrike.

Gray warbler.

And again the willow warbler... This is already an adult bird.

A young spotted woodpecker sat on a post that was in a web.

We couldn’t go into the forest; we wanted to have a snack there, but they dug up the forest road and returned to the sandy road again. Leaving the car, we went out and decided to photograph the birds in Ivanovo Bay.

There were many shorebirds and gray herons in the bay. There were also ducks, but very few of them.

Here are some of the waders that we managed to photograph a little closer than others. Fifi sandpiper.

And this is a mud sandpiper.

In the foreground is a snipe sandpiper...

Black sandpiper.

Young gray duck.

That’s it, it seems we’ve been to many places here and photographed all the birds. We return back, across the field, to the Staraya Maina – Ulyanovsk highway. A young shrike is found in a field sown with sunflowers.

Having passed the village of Mirny, we turned off the highway towards the village. Oktyabrsky (Chardaklinsky district). I decided to show novice photographers another place where you can meet and photograph birds well. In the first swamp, which is just outside the village of Oktyabrskoye near the pig farm, there were mainly sandpipers and several lapwings.

A young black kite was sitting on a dry tree near a swamp.

As we drove through the field to the second marsh, two Common Buzzards flew overhead.

We approached the second swamp, where it was already possible to see the birds better and more conveniently and photograph them.

Young white wagtail.

Suddenly, a forest pipit was encountered near the swamp.

We all got out of the car and headed through the grass and thickets to the shore of this swamp. We met young teal codlings.

And here is the marsh harrier in person. I only managed to take this photo.

Then the harrier took off and began to patrol the swamp in search of its next victim for lunch.

And this is a young marsh harrier.

The crows, sitting on a dry tree, conjured over some next plan...

Waders on the opposite bank wander around with caution... Among them are a pair of lapwings and a fifi.

I was lucky enough to see and photograph a rather rare round-nosed phalarope for our region.

And again Fifi's waders...

That's it, the photo hunt is over, I showed all the birds to my fellow travelers, and now it was time to have a snack. We stopped at a birch forest plantation so that the sun wouldn’t hit us so hard. And it was already +30 degrees Celsius.

Our modest table...

Before our snack, the novice photo hunters congratulated me on my birthday and sang “many years to come”…. The voice of both Orthodox fellow travelers, and especially Sergius, was such that it seemed they were heard in neighboring villages. – Thank you, friends, for such an unexpected congratulation. “So our photo journey has ended, for which we thank you, Evgeniy, for this wonderful joint trip,” Dmitry will then write as a gift on a sheet of birch bark.

This is how I ended up with a photo report about our joint photo walk to the Staromainsky district, namely to Kremenki. See you again, friends!
