Taman is one of the 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 is vineyards, melons and orchards, 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. The military hill is its main attraction.

Where is the Military Hill located on the map?

Territorial is central part city ​​limits. Not far from here you will find the monument to the liquidators of the Chernobyl disaster, the Bus Station and the Central Market.

The history of the formation of attractions

The northeastern "crossroads" - the place where the roads to different Taman resorts diverge - is Temryuk. Military hill - 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"). Last eruption observed here in 1943.

During the Second World War, the most fierce battles for Temryuk took place on this bridgehead, 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 prevented the organized evacuation of the enemy.

Today, the R-251 highway passes through this area, reporting st. Golubitskaya with Krasnodar. Consequently, bus passengers of intraregional routes can admire a kind of museum immediately from the left and right windows of the cabin. Still, because the local street. Rosa Luxembourg 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 local history museum 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 Luxembourg, it is not difficult to notice majestic monuments, military aircraft, tanks and ships of various sizes: the first one that catches your eye is the T-34, whose pedestal stands at the very edge of the road. They belong to the era of the second half of the 20th - early 21st centuries. The official entrance to the fenced area is at the end of the steps connecting the space to the roadway.

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

Mixed with the military on Mount Myska, post-war equipment flaunts - L-29, MiG-21 PFM and AN-14 aircraft, P-15 rocket and much more. A complete list would take up a whole page. It is necessary to separately note the Su-208-79 steam locomotive and the ZIS-5 truck, which transported echelons with soldiers in those terrible years.

A building has been built at the eastern end of this territory, where other exhibits are exhibited - photographs, documents, propaganda posters, maps, personal belongings of fighters and their commanders. In the photo, which depicts the Military Hill Museum in Temryuk, we see huge complex, consisting not only of the exposition of inactive equipment, but also of many memorial structures.

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

How to get (get there)?

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

The 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 being on vacation in , we went here for .

Temryuk is a historical place. Human settlements have existed here since ancient times. In the 14th century, the Genoese colony Kopa was located on this site, then, at the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, the Crimean city of 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, was included in the Crimean Khanate in 1570 and renamed Adis.

The population of the city was mixed - Greeks, Jews, Armenians, Yases lived here, who were mainly engaged in trade. Don Cossacks repeatedly made their raids here. After the Russian-Turkish war of 1787-1792, Taman was included in 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 overcast with dense clouds. It looks like it's about to start raining. It hovered very strongly. We passed Novorossiysk, leaving Anapa aside. The mountains gave way to endless steppe expanses.

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

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

Museum "Military Hill"

Museum of military equipment open sky"Military Hill" is located on the slopes of the mud volcano Miska. 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 mound

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

The road divides the museum into two parts. The collection is constantly updated, new exhibits appear. It presents both the equipment of the times of the Great Patriotic War and the newer one.

From the height of the Military Hill, magnificent panoramas of the surroundings open - the coastal lowland, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov, 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 following 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 back in the 19th century, eruptions were observed in 1812, 1844 and 1860. The 1843 eruption was the most violent and was accompanied by ejections of breccia, vapour, smoke and flame. The cone-shaped peak fell down, the resulting 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 called it "Myska", that is, "Plate". Currently, the caldera is occupied by vegetation and a small lake. It adjoins the second part of the Museum "Military Hill".

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

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

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

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 highway. Here you can see an impressive collection of authentic equipment from the Second World War: planes, helicopters, warships, tanks, various guns, missiles, trucks and even a train. All exhibits are in excellent condition, the territory of the museum is well-groomed and beautiful. Walking here will be interesting for both children and adults.

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, while it was for the Nazi army a springboard for a counteroffensive into the Caucasus. One of the most massive and heavy air battles of the Second World War took place over Taman and Anapa, which largely decided the outcome of the battle for Taman. Therefore, on the "Military Hill" much attention is paid to aviation.

War memorials have been erected in every even the smallest village on Taman - 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 here, in Temryuk, is not accidental.

Open-air museum

"Military Hill" - this is the name of the museum of military equipment, freely located on one of the elevated places of the municipality. This elevation is unique. For it was formed by the extinct mud volcano Miska (there are also 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 on the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Taman Peninsula from Nazi invaders. Among the initiators of its creation were the first secretary of the former district committee of the party A. Kuemzhiev and the chairman of the then district executive committee V. Soloshenko. The author and active executor of the project is architect A. Bragin. Active assistance in the acquisition of military equipment was provided by 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. And before we talk 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 Temryuk region of the same name. Conveniently located. 130 kilometers from the capital of the region Krasnodar, a hundred from Novorossiysk and almost very close to the resort for family and children's recreation and treatment Anapa - just over four dozen kilometers. By the way, Temryuk is also territorially connected with Anapa. This refers to their proximity to Taman. In particular, the Taman Peninsula is mostly part of the Temryuk region. And only partially to the resort city of Anapa. And Taman is very solid in size - 2000 square kilometers. 900 of them are land. The rest are 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 Sea, in the west by the Kerch Strait, in which the Black and Sea of ​​Azov they rush into each other's arms, merge with waters, while Cherny is lighter, and Azov is somewhat unclear. Taman stretches for 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 full-fledged resort areas countries. Due to the discovery here of large deposits of therapeutic mud, which are 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 betrayed him and laid a new channel to. As a result of such an amazing somersault, we note that Anapa enriched itself by acquiring a valuable treasure - magnificent sandy beaches forty kilometers long, while with amazing, like in a desert, dunes in some places under 12-15 meters high and overgrown, among other tree species, local olives, which perfectly protect tourists from the hot sun during the high season. By the way, sandy beaches residents of the Temryuk region itself can also use it, with them, as they say, at their side. And on personal cars it’s easy to get to them, and on public transport without much difficulty.

The city's population is growing year by year. The absolute majority (93 percent) are Russians. But there are Ukrainians, and Greeks, and representatives of other nationalities and nationalities. The city has its railroad station, sea ​​port. Surprisingly, it also contains the largest volcano on Taman, Rotten Mountain, which has long become an attractive attraction. And all of them, 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 the summer Golubitskaya is a real pilgrimage - to its salt lake with healing brine and mud at the bottom. It is within easy reach from the village to the Akhtanizovsky freshwater estuary with an area of ​​110 square kilometers, densely overgrown with pink lotuses from 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 she likes! But it is, by the way! It should be noted - the population of the city 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 forth. In summer, the houses are buried in the greenery of gardens and vineyards.

But during the Great Patriotic War, much of it was literally swept off the face of the earth. Temryuk was under the heel of the Nazi invaders from August 1942 to September 1943. That is, thirteen months or four hundred days. More than two thousand civilians killed. Sources also point to sixteen thousand driven into slavery. The so-called Blue Line passed near the city. More than three hundred divisions of the Red Army participated in fierce battles for the liberation. During the Novorossiysk-Taman operation (including the participation of the Black Sea Fleet), on September 27, 1943, Temryuk was released. And by order of Stalin, salutes were given in Moscow in honor of this significant event. It should be added to the above 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 ground of the Military Memorial of the city, and in total there are over a hundred burials in the district. Forty of them contain the remains of old people, women and children, 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 be liberated from fascist evil spirits. 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 the artillery battalion. 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 the heels of soldiers and officers, while only three thousand Red Army soldiers and three battalions of marines defended the peninsula. But ours fought bravely and desperately, plunging more than once into the horror of the advancing enemies, who, by the way, suffered no small losses.

Military hill at the top of the volcano

We have already spoken about the Miska volcano above. It is at its top that the Military Hill is located. And already in 1965, the T-34-85 tank stood here on a pedestal. Since then, Gorka has turned into a real open-air museum of military equipment that is solid in size. In which, according to various sources, combat vehicles of almost all types and branches of the armed forces are represented - land tanks, armored vehicles, cannons, the famous Katyushas, ​​sea boats, torpedoes, mines, the AN-24 transport aircraft, fighters, a steam locomotive with a wagon. Among the military equipment, the sculptural compositions "We are the winners!", "Hurrah 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 terrible 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 whole country is following the heroism shown by the personnel, as it once followed the heroes of Sevastopol!" There is another inscription: "Glory to the Soviet soldiers, the liberators of the city of Temryuk and the Taman Peninsula!".
The value of the Military Hill is hard to overestimate! Especially in the military-patriotic education of the younger generation. And interest in the museum of military vehicles in the open air on the part of tourists (but only in Anapa and its resort villages there are more than four million of them a year!) is huge! Including from 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!"
