Serebryaniy Log is the third entrance to the touristic part of the Gremyachaya Griva eco-park where residents and guests of Krasnoyarsk can walk in the picturesque forest near the pond as well as get acquainted with the culture and mode of life of the peoples of Yenisey Siberia.

Right behind the visit centre there are traditional  dwellings of the people of Yenisey Siberia – a chum and a yurt. Everyone may come inside them and get acquainted with the lifestyle of the peoples inhabiting the Krasnoyarsk region, the Republics of Khakassia and Tyva (you can learn interesting facts about these dwellings right now on our web-site visitsiberia.info).

Inside the visit centre Serebryaniy Log the visitors can have a bite and taste Siberian herbal teas, learn more facts about the beauties of Yenisey Siberia in a small, but cozy library, buy some souvenirs by local brands. There are also comfortable toilet rooms here equipped with a baby changing table, so it will be comfortable here even with the youngest guests.

You can enjoy the beauties of nature near the visit centre Serebryaniy Log in the evening as well – the walking zone near the pond is lighted with cozy small lanterns.  

The visit centre Serebryaniy Log has got its name from the brook which flows in this place all year round and forms a pond. According to the local historians’ opinion, on Russia’s territory ponds and brooks have been often named Serebryaniy (“silver’ from Russian), and the word “silver”  was a synonym for the word “health”. According to the legend, if one washes himself with  spring water from the pond, he will be protected from grieves and illnesses for several years. And if you believe the legends, Russian military people, who inhabited  the Yenisey banks, used to find real sliver here.
