Sluice No. 13 of the Volga-Don Canal
It is hard to imagine that the idea of a canal goes back to the 16th century. It was then that the Turkish sultan ordered the canal to be dug, but they failed. According to the chroniclers, the Turks left, saying: "Even all the Turkish people can't do anything here in 100 years".
The second attempt to build it was made during the reign of Peter I, but even then failed. The canal was built only in 1952. After several dozens of unsuccessful projects and the Great Patriotic War.

Surovikinsky stones
There is a legend that a highly developed civilization existed between the Volga and the Don rivers before the Atlanteans, and these hills with their melted stones are the remains of an ancient cosmodrome. People come here to get rid of negative thoughts and to find peace. The stones are warm, nobody knows their exact origin. Someone has found a place of power here for himself.
It may not be possible to get close to the hills by car and you will have to walk on foot.
