    The first point of the route is the gate, created based on the art of Ancient Egypt during the Egyptomania period. They were built by the architect Adam Adamovich Menelas in 1827-1830 and served as a checkpoint into Tsarskoye Selo.
    Scenes from Egyptian mythology are depicted on the facade of the gate. Here are the god Osiris, the goddess Maat, the goddess Isis with the child in her arms - the god Horus, and scenes of initiation into pharaohs, and representations of agricultural activities of the Egyptians.

    Next, you can walk through the ruins of the temple. This mysterious and shrouded in legends place is located in the village of Fifth Mountain. Construction of the temple began in 1826 after the death of the estate owner Fyodor Maximovich Briskorn. According to the official version, his widow decided to build a temple in memory of her deceased husband. The temple was built of brittle stone, which was strongly influenced by the environment, and therefore began to deteriorate rather quickly.
    However, there is a legend that the noblewoman erected the temple to make amends for her sins, the 12 columns inside the temple are a memory of the 12 musicians driven to death by her, and the rapid destruction of the temple means that her sins were never forgiven.
