Taman Museum of Military Equipment. Museum "War Hill

Taman is one of the most dissimilar Kuban landscapes. This peninsula is a lowland lying "at the corner" of the Black and Azov seas. It is cut by sea estuaries, narrow thickets of river floodplains, a network of irrigation canals, most of the location - vineyards, melons and gardens, as well as sandbanks. It is windy here, and administratively all this is included in one district, the center of which is the city of Temryuk. Military slide- its main attraction.

Where is the War Hill on the map?

Geographically, this is the central part of the city limits. Not far from here you will find a monument to the Liquidators of the Chernobyl disaster, the Bus Station and the Central Market.

The history of the formation of the sights

Temryuk is the northeastern "crossroads" - the place from where the roads to various Taman resorts diverge. The military hill is a hill in the northern massif of a quiet town. The hill was formed on the site of the old mud volcano Miska (locals say "Myska"). The last eruption was observed here in 1943.

During the Second World War, on this bridgehead, the most fierce battles for Temryuk took place, which are part of the theater of operations of the Novorossiysk-Taman offensive operation. The landing force, which landed to the east, boldly attacked the positions of the Nazis, which went down in history under the name "Blue Line". The soldiers obstructed the organized evacuation of the enemy.

Today, the R-251 highway passes through this area, reporting Art. Golubitskaya with Krasnodar. Consequently, bus passengers of intraregional routes can admire a kind of museum directly from the left and right windows of the passenger compartment. Still, because the local street. Rosa Luxemburg is a fragment of the named route.

This point in the post-war period - namely in 1983 - received the status of a "guarded exhibition pavilion", a branch of the Temryuk Museum of Local Lore Complex. At the end of the last century, the exposition was replenished with retired supersonic fighters and combat boats, torpedoes and mines, and many varieties of other offensive and defensive equipment.

The main military museum in Temryuk

Once on the road connecting st. September 27 and Rosa Luxemburg, it is not difficult to notice the majestic monuments, military aircraft, tanks and ships of different sizes: the first to come across the T-34, whose pedestal stands at the very edge of the road. They belong to the era of the second half of the XX - early XXI centuries. The official entrance to the fenced-in area is at the end of the steps that connect the space to the carriageway.

Usually, a tour of a curious object begins with an inspection of the equipment on display. Only then do the visitors pay attention to several expressive memorials. Visitors willingly take pictures with the muzzles of the terrible guns of the Great Patriotic War, the MT-13 mortar, samples of artillery, including the KS-19 and Katyusha anti-aircraft guns, the IS-3, T-34 85, T-72 tanks, boats, propellers, power plants and fighters of those times.

Along with the military on Mount Myska, post-war equipment also flaunts - the L-29, MiG-21 PFM and AN-14 aircraft, the P-15 rocket and much more. A complete list would take a whole page. It should be noted separately the Su-208-79 steam locomotive and the ZIS-5 truck, which transported trains with soldiers in those formidable years.

At the eastern end of this territory, a building has been built, where other exhibits are exhibited - photographs, documents, propaganda posters, maps, personal belongings of soldiers and their commanders. In the photo showing the Military Hill Museum in Temryuk, we see huge complex, consisting not only of an exposition of inoperative technology, but also of many memorial structures.

Among them are sculptural compositions "We won", "Hurray, for the Motherland!" and "Explosion". The latter represents the original vision of war by one of the popular local muralists. The monument was opened on June 22, 2013 - in honor of the well-known mournful date. Before the audience - a composition consisting of welded together archaeological artifacts - rusty helmets, machine guns, sapper shovels, cartridge and bomb casings, as well as flasks and fragments of tank barrels.

How to get there (get there)?

It is quite easy to get to Voennaya Gorka - this is the top of the ascent, which begins at the end of September 27 (Kalinina) street. It is easy to get to the site from the swamp, the restaurant "On the Volcano" and the Church of Michael the Archangel.

On the map, the route to the desired place looks like this:

People have different attitudes towards this place. The fact is that reviews of the described attraction, which are easy to find on the network, vary greatly in nature. Some believe that almost every Russian city has a similar exhibition complex, they say, it is not worth the money spent. Others are sure: Voyennaya Gorka is the most interesting of such museums, but in Temryuk - even more so, as the most creative guides work here.

On the slopes of an extinct mud volcano, Mount Miska. It was opened in 1983. The museum is spread out on both sides of the motorway. Here you can see an impressive collection of authentic equipment from the Second World War: planes, helicopters, warships, tanks, a variety of weapons, missiles, trucks and even a train. All exhibits are in excellent condition, the territory of the museum is well-groomed and beautiful. It will be interesting for both children and adults to walk here.

The battles for the Taman Peninsula were very heavy and bloody. The Germans organized a line of defense here, which they considered impregnable - it went down in history as the "Blue Line". The Blue Line blocked the road to the Crimea for Soviet troops, and at the same time was a springboard for the Nazi army for a counteroffensive to the Caucasus. One of the most massive and difficult air battles of the Second World War took place over Taman and Anapa, largely deciding the outcome of the battle for Taman. Therefore, on "Voennaya Gorka" much attention is paid to aviation.

In every even the smallest village on Taman, war memorials have been erected - there was not a single piece of land that was not affected by the war. So the organization of such an interesting and large-scale museum right here, in Temryuk, is not accidental.

Krasnodar Territory is famous for its history and sights. One of these places, where, however, travelers do not come so often, is Temryuk, the biggest locality Taman Peninsula. And while on vacation in, we went here on.

Temryuk is a historical place. Human settlements have existed here since ancient times. In the XIV century on this place was the Genoese colony of Copa, then, at the turn of the XV-XVI centuries - Crimean city Tumnev. During the reign of the Kabardian prince Temryuk Idarovich (Temryuk-murza, died in 1571), an ally of Ivan the Terrible, the New Temryuk fortress was built here, which, however, in 1570 was included in the Crimean Khanate and renamed Adis.

The population of the city was mixed - Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Yases, who were mainly engaged in trade, lived here. Don Cossacks have made numerous forays here. After the Russian-Turkish war of 1787-1792, Taman was incorporated into the Russian Empire. Temryuk first existed as a village, and since 1860 - as a city.

The road from Gelendzhik to Temryuk

The weather that day did not please us - the sky was covered with dense clouds. It seems like it is about to start raining. It hovered very strongly. We drove through Novorossiysk and left Anapa aside. The mountains gave way to endless steppe expanses.

Almost all the fields are sown. Here and there there were shops selling local products - melons, watermelons and other gifts from the Kuban.

Finally, we enter Temryuk. Having wandered around the city a little (the navigator let us down), we drove up to the hill where the Military Hill is located.

Museum "War Hill"

Museum of military equipment under open air"Voennaya Gorka" is located on the slopes of the Miska mud volcano. It was opened in 1983, when the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Taman Peninsula from Nazi troops was celebrated.

Tank T-34-85 on the barrow

The legendary T-34-85 tank, mounted on a high mound, is a monument to the liberators of Taman, to the soldiers of the 56th Army of the North Caucasian Front, who on October 9, 1943, completely cleared the Taman Peninsula of German invaders.

The road divides the museum into two parts. The collection is constantly updated, new exhibits appear. Here you can see both the technique of the Great Patriotic War and newer ones.

From the height of the Voyennaya Gorka, magnificent panoramas of the surroundings open up - the coastal lowland, the Sea of Azov, the Kurchansky estuary. Since it was August, the vegetation withered from the heat, the earth cracked. Nevertheless, the pictures of the steppe were still impressive.

The defense of Temryuk will go down in the history of the Patriotic War. The whole country is watching the heroism shown by the personnel, as it once followed the heroes of Sevastopol.

As I wrote above, the Military Hill Museum is located on the slopes of the Miska mud volcano. It was active even in the 19th century, eruptions were observed in 1812, 1844 and 1860. The 1843 eruption was the most violent and was accompanied by emissions of breccia, vapor, smoke and flame. The cone-shaped summit sank down, and the formed caldera was filled with water and oil for several years.

The volcano got its name because of its shape. The Cossacks living in the vicinity named it "Myska", that is, "Plate". Currently, the caldera is occupied by vegetation and a small lake. It adjoins the second part of the Military Hill Museum.

And it was time for us to return home - the weather was too hard. Be a little cooler, you could walk along Temryuk itself and visit its other attractions - the Archaeological Museum, the Walk of Fame. On the outskirts of Temryuk there is Mount Gnilaya (Hephaestus volcano) - one of the largest active mud volcanoes in the Temryuk region. Not far from the city is located, in the village of Za Rodinu - the mud volcano Tizdar.

After Anapa, the landscape became more mountainous. And finally it started to rain.

And when we drove up to Gelendzhik, the sun came out.

The Military Equipment Museum "Voennaya Gorka" is located in the very center of Temryuk. This is a unique historical monument located on the active volcano Miska.

On September 27, 1983 in Temryuk the Military Equipment Museum "Military Hill" was founded. The exposition presents to tourists to see tanks, cannons, airplanes and helicopters, ship guns and boats, which were used during the Great Patriotic War and in the post-war period. The equipment is located on all slopes of the hill, you can approach it closely and take pictures.

Open-air museum

"Military Hill" - this is the name of the museum of military equipment, at ease, located on one of the elevated places of the municipality. And this hill is unique. For it is formed by the extinct mud volcano Miska (there are those who call it Myska). The open-air museum has the largest collection of military equipment in the south of our Fatherland. It was opened on September 27, 1983 exactly to the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Taman Peninsula from the Nazi invaders. Among the initiators of its creation are the first secretary of the former district party committee A. Kuemzhiev and the chairman of the then regional executive committee V. Soloshenko. The author and active executor of the project is the architect A. Bragin. The former commander of the Azov flotilla and at that time the commander-in-chief of the USSR Navy, Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR, Hero of the Soviet Union, Admiral S. Gorshkov, actively assisted in the acquisition of military equipment. And before we tell you in detail about the exhibits of the museum, we will introduce you to the course regarding the urban settlement itself.

Temryuk today and during the Great Patriotic War

The city of Temryuk is very popular in the Kuban. It is the administrative center of the same name Temryuk district... Conveniently located. 130 kilometers from the capital of the Krasnodar region, a hundred from Novorossiysk and almost very close to the Anapa resort for family and children's recreation and treatment - just over four dozen kilometers. By the way, Temryuk is also territorially connected with Anapa. This refers to their neighborhood on Taman. In particular, the Taman Peninsula is for the most part part of the Temryuk region. And only partially to the resort city of Anapa. And Taman is quite solid in size - 2,000 square kilometers. 900 of them are land. The rest is estuaries and floodplains. Taman is located in the western part of the Kuban. From the north, the peninsula is washed by the Sea of Azov, from the south - by the Black, in the west by the Kerch Strait, in which the Black and Azov sea rush into each other's arms, merge with waters, while the Black is lighter, and the Azov is somewhat unclear. Taman stretches 40 kilometers from south to north, 66 kilometers from west to east. In 2010, the peninsula officially received the status of an All-Russian health resort, one of the resort areas country. Due to the discovery of large deposits of medicinal mud here, which is also present in more than three dozen mud volcanoes.

He himself comfortably settled down on the right bank of the Kuban, which in ancient times flowed into, and then suddenly changed him and paved a new channel to. As a result of such an amazing somersault, we note, Anapa has enriched itself, having acquired a valuable treasure - magnificent sandy beaches forty kilometers long, while with amazing, like in a desert, dunes in some places with a height of 12-15 meters and overgrown, among other tree species, local olives, which perfectly protect tourists from hot sunlight in high season. By the way, sandy beaches residents of the Temryuk region itself can also use it, who have them, as they say, close by. And it is easy to get to them by personal cars, and by public transport without much difficulty.

The population of the city is growing from year to year. The absolute majority (93 percent) are Russians. But there are Ukrainians and Greeks, and representatives of other nationalities and ethnic groups. The city has its own train station sea port... Surprisingly, it also contains the largest volcano on Taman, Rotten Mountain, which has long become an attractive attraction. And in total there are, we repeat, more than three dozen. There is also the most unique one - in the area, which is only eleven kilometers from the city, beating directly from the sea and forming temporary islands that are washed away by the waves, but are reborn again and again. By the way, in summer Golubitskaya is a real pilgrimage - to its salt lake with healing brine and mud at the bottom. It is a stone's throw from the village to the Akhtanizovsky freshwater estuary with an area of 110 square kilometers, densely overgrown with pink lotuses native to distant India. Come here at the time of flowering, whisper your innermost desire into the lotus, and it will certainly come true. Especially when it comes to the reciprocal love of a girl or a guy you like! But this is so, by the way! It should be noted that the city's population lives quite comfortably - municipal and private housing is being built. There are schools, kindergartens, medical institutions, communications, including the Internet, bank branches and so on and so on in order. In summer, the houses are surrounded by greenery of gardens and vineyards.

But during the Great Patriotic War, much in it was literally swept off the face of the earth. Temryuk was under the thumb of the Nazi invaders from August 1942 to September 1943. That is, thirteen months or four hundred days. More than two thousand killed civilians. Sources also point to sixteen thousand driven into slavery. The so-called Blue Line ran near the city. More than three hundred units of the Red Army took part in the fierce battles for liberation. During the Novorossiysko-Taman operation (with the participation of the Black Sea Fleet), on September 27, 1943, Temryuk was released. And by order of Stalin, in honor of this significant event, a salute was given in Moscow. To what has been said, it must be added that from the same sources - about nine thousand residents of the city, who went to the battlefields to defend the Fatherland, did not return home: they died in fierce battles. More than two thousand are buried in the land of the War Memorial of the city, and in total there are over a hundred burials on the territory of the region. Forty of them contain the remains of old people, women and children who were innocently shot by the Germans. As for the Taman Peninsula itself, it was completely liberated from the Nazi invaders on October 9, 1943. And this was largely facilitated by the victory at Stalingrad, from where some military units were sent to liberate from the fascist scum North Caucasus... A decisive contribution to the defeat of the Nazis was made by the Azov military flotilla, the Kuban detachment of the Cossack flotilla, plus an artillery division. Ten participants in fierce battles with the enemy became heroes of the Soviet Union - I. Kalganov, A. Laukhin. G. Denisov, V. Golovchenko, I. Bevz, A. Golovnya, M. Rogachev, P. Kashurin, A. Pecheritsa and N. Kolesnikov. up to five soldiers and officers, while only three thousand Red Army men and three battalions of marines defended the peninsula. But ours fought bravely and desperately, plunging more than once into horror the advancing enemies, who, by the way, suffered no small losses.

Military slide on top of the volcano

We have already spoken about Miska volcano above. It is at its top that the Military Hill is located. And already in 1965 there was a T-34-85 tank on a pedestal. Since then, Gorka has turned into a real solid-size open-air museum of military equipment. In which, according to various sources, combat vehicles of almost all types and types of troops are presented - land tanks, armored vehicles, cannons, the famous Katyushas, sea boats, torpedoes, mines, an AN-24 transport aircraft, fighters, a steam locomotive with a carriage. Among the military equipment, the sculptural compositions "We are the winners!", "Hurray for the Motherland!", "Explosion" stand out. As a continuation of the museum, in its eastern part there is a spacious building, and the public can get acquainted with photographs, documents, propaganda posters, maps of military operations, personal belongings of soldiers and commanders of the Red Army of those formidable years. At the entrance to the territory of the museum - a stele with the inscription "The defense of Temryuk will go down in the history of the Great Patriotic War. The heroism shown by the personnel is followed by the whole country, as it once followed the heroes of Sevastopol!" There is one more inscription: "Glory to the Soviet soldiers liberators of the city of Temryuk and the Taman Peninsula!"
The value of the War Hill can hardly be overestimated! Especially in the matter of military-patriotic education of the younger generation. And interest in the open-air museum of military vehicles from tourists (but only in Anapa and its resort villages there are more than four million of them a year!) is huge! Including from the side of foreign guests. It is always useful to once again turn over the heroic pages of the history of the Fatherland, to learn the courage of the defenders of the native land! The museum is a repetition of the formidable warning of the great Russian commander Alexander Nevsky: "Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword!"
