Gremyachy waterfall - a unique monument of nature

Every second 6 liters of water flow out of the spring, which never freezes and is characterized by a year-round temperature (6 ° C).

It is believed that if you sprinkle the patient with water from the spring, he immediately feels better, and then completely cured.

The lunar reviving is the same age as the mastodons

Although near Sergiev Posad and there are many springs, but the most famous of them is the Gremyachy waterfall. Sergiev Posad is famous for another attraction - here the lunyke is reviving, being a relic plant, listed in the Red Book. He lived at the time of mastodons. On this plant appear yellow and blue flowers, having the smell of gillyflowers. When the moon will bloom, pods form on it. These pods open on two falling leaves, leaving a thin silvery septum with seeds, which makes the plant decorative. Thanks to these partitions, the lunny is called "silver ruble". According to popular beliefs, lunnik is considered a talisman, bringing wealth and prosperity to the house. A severed plant is threatened with extinction.
