From here there are two routes. You can head around the canyon. But you can go deep into the park. Both routes are interesting. I have not decided where to take you next time.Perhaps it will be an underground lake.

On this phrase I have finished the previous part. So we went.

In ancient times, marble was mined here for the construction of St. Petersburg, during the Soviet era - lime, decorative chips, crushed stone. When the industrialists left these places, the canyon in the marble deposit was flooded with groundwater. So this underground lake was formed. The total length of the underground labyrinths reaches several kilometers. Once there were mines and adits. The temperature in these underground passages is low. Mixing in the warm air outside, fog forms. Now I know how clouds are born.

We examined the lake from above. When you look into a black hole, you expect someone to drool out of it to appear. But from this hole came the sounds of an organ. It turned out that the marble arches of the lake have excellent acoustics. They even arrange live concerts. Inside, people roamed along their underground route. We did not go there. Maybe next time.

We walked around the black hole and decided to return to the marble canyon. After all, we were only on one viewing platform, and the trail leads around the entire canyon. On the way, we admired the marble cobblestones. There are no simple stones. There is marble everywhere, although in raw form these stones are not similar to it.

The evening came down. Light for shooting became less and less. On that first day, we did not go around the canyon entirely. About half. In the next story I will show this part of the canyon. But we were attracted by another path. She led inland. There we started a beautiful sunset. And then there was another day. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Everything has its own turn.
