Those who are even a little familiar with the sights of the Sukhona River in the Vologda region have heard of a gushing spring in the Veliky Ustyug District. Once in the Soviet years, geologists drilled a well, and could not plug it anymore. For many decades to this day, a fountain has been beating on the banks of the Sukhona River near the village of Porog in a place called Opoki. This fountain is famous, many tourists come to it from year to year in winter and summer, day and night. But this post is not about this fountain.
Exactly the same fountain is still in the Kichmengo-Gorodetsky district of the Vologda region. I could not find the history of its occurrence. But by the method of occurrence, it is similar to the Opoksky fountain.
The question immediately arises, where is this miracle of nature?
We drive in the district center Kichmengsky Gorodok, then we go along the road along the Kichmenga river towards the village of Vaganovo.
From Vaganovo you need to go down the field road towards the river to the village of Nekipelovo. At the same time we inspect the local beauty, the views from the high hill are wonderful here!
In the distance you can see the village of Nekipelovo, which is located on the opposite bank of the river.
In dry weather, you can drive to the river almost by car, but after rain it will be difficult to climb back.
Lonely standing trees always attract attention to themselves.
And there are enough of them to please yourself with aesthetic pleasure.
You can get to the other side of the village of Nekipelovo in several ways. One of them is a wooden suspension pedestrian bridge.
But something is wrong here...
The bridge was simply washed away by the flood. Now you can only get around the concrete bridge through the village of Kichmenga.
And to the left of the bridge is a fountain.
Yes, it is not as epic as in Opoki. There are no steep puff banks, as in Sukhona, its height is not so great, and a rusty pipe does not look very attractive.
But from this he does not stop being a gushing source.
From a tourism point of view, this place is unsubstantiated. Just nobody will go to this fountain. If on Sukhona it is also steep rocky coasts, abandoned villages, an old gateway, picturesque views, the height of the fountain, then here, apart from the very fact of the presence of a spring spurting from the ground, there is nothing more.
Even I'm not sure I want to come back here again. Perhaps here it is a little more interesting in winter, when a large block of ice freezes.
If the bridge were still in good condition and there was an interesting old village behind it, then the chance of interest would slightly increase.
A drizzle drove me out of this place.
We can say that I took my feet in time, otherwise I would have been thunderstorm with a downpour.
Although I still managed to get wet while running to the car through the village of Vaganovo.
It seems to me that there are many such artificially created natural fountains around the country. I already saw two, but I heard about a much larger number. And this is only in our area.
