Gloomy Fort Reef, the beginning of the journey (18 reportage photos)
In order to get to this water, we had to wade through dry grass, bushes and in places through mud. You could have just followed the organized eco-path, but then I would not have been able to show you even a tenth of what I am going to present. We are not looking for easy ways

Для того, чтобы выйти на этот простор у воды нам пришлось продираться по сухой траве, кустарникам и местами по грязи. Можно было просто идти по организованной эко-тропе, но тогда я не смог бы показать вам и десятой части того, что собираюсь представить. Мы не ищем лёгких путей.

This place is the northwestern tip of Kotlin Island. Kronstadt is located on the island. A small naval base and just a city. Previously, there was an access control here and you could get either by registration or on a business trip. Entry is free now. This island is connected by a dam with both shores of the Gulf of Finland.

The part of the island along which we are moving belongs to the Reserve. This is a special conservation status. This area is located behind the wall of the old defensive structure of another fort. But we will talk about him at the very end of our route.

>Это место является северо-западной оконечностью острова Котлин. На острове расположен Кронштадт. Небольшая военно-морская база и просто город. Раньше здесь был пропускной режим и попасть можно было либо по прописке, либо в служебную командировку. Сейчас въезд свободный. Этот остров соединён дамбой с обоими берегами Финского залива.
>
>Часть острова, по которой мы движемся относится к Заказнику. Это особый природоохранный статус. Эта территория находится за стеной старого оборонительного сооружения ещё одного форта. Но о нём речь пойдёт в самом конце нашего маршрута.

The day looked damp, gloomy and unhappy. We were not expected here. I didn’t take photos with brighter processing. Everything looks the way it really was.

>День выглядел сырым, хмурым и недовольным. Нас здесь не ждали. Я не стал делать фотографии более яркой обработкой. Всё выглядит так, как оно было на самом деле.

The trail was damp after the rains and a bit muddy. To shoot some of the views, I had to climb into the grass and bushes. My pants were thickly covered with thorns and grass debris.

Finally we came out to the water of the bay. But at the beginning of the way the coast was overgrown with dense grass.

In the distance you can see the nose of this island. It is there that Fort Reef is located. We are heading to him.
