Uchinskoe reservoir. Camping

Uchinskoe reservoir is one of the artificial reservoirs in the hydraulic system of the Moscow Canal. But from the whole chain of other large reservoirs of this system, it has a number of significant differences. All the principal differences are due to the functional purpose of the reservoir, which is located off the main navigable channel channel. The Uchinskoye reservoir is one of the main sources ensuring the sustainable water supply of such a grandiose metropolis as the city of Moscow. It is from here that the main volume of water intake is produced. Water is channeled through a special channel to the Eastern Waterworks of Moscow, from where it is distributed to consumers.

Uchinskoe reservoir. Its natural and economic characteristics

The history of this place originates in the distant 1937, when the construction of the Akulov hydroelectric complex on the Uche river was completed. The Uchinsk reservoir formed here had an extent of twelve kilometers and a width of about three. The depth reaches twenty meters. The main thing that for several decades determines the external appearance of this reservoir is the administrative regime restricting free access of citizens to its coast. The area around the Uchi water reservoir is a strict water protection zone. It is this circumstance that explains the complete absence of any kind of tourist infrastructure in such, for all other parameters suitable for Sunday rest, places. There are no tourist bases here, bathing, burning fires on the shore and moving along the water area on motor boats are forbidden. Local residents are most often called the word "prohibition" that is indicated on the map as Uchinskoye reservoir. Rest on this is not completely for all available territory, in fact, it is possible. But at your own peril and risk. This place is for many people loved - for its inaccessibility to the broad tourist masses. This is one of the most environmentally friendly places in the entire near and more remote suburbs. By the way, this circumstance provides a good fishing for everyone who secretly managed to get to the Uchinskoe reservoir. The map suggests that it is easiest to do this from the north-eastern direction, from Yaroslavl highway. But it is quite possible to reach and by train from the Yaroslavsky railway station, going up to the platform of station "Pravda". There is a transfer to the regular bus route 36 and a trip to the stop "Career". But the most reliable transport for this kind of travel is the bicycle.

Recent negative events

These include the weakening of the administrative regime. The nature around the Uchinsk reservoir is too good for a variety of corrupt and simply influential people not to take piss on it. In recent years, more and more diverse buildings appear on the area forbidden for ordinary citizens, and this can not negatively affect the ecology of the water protection zone. Particularly actively develops the south-west shore of the reservoir.
