Serebryany Bor: beach and park in Moscow

The small beach “Serebryany Bor 2” is located in the northern part of the island next to Veteran Park. The beach is well equipped and suitable for children. The shore is covered with soft grass, so in windy weather there will be no problems with sand flying in all directions. Nearby there is a pier for boats and yachts, which can be reached by car if you have a pass.

Animators work almost every day on the shore, organizing fun competitions and activities for children and adults. The holiday atmosphere is captivating and makes you forget that you are in the city. The parking lot is very small; on weekends, even cars with passes often have nowhere to park.

How to get to the Serebryany Bor recreation area

The first thing you should know: entry by personal car into the territory of Serebryany Bor is possible only with passes. Previously, it was possible to purchase a pass from security, but recently only cars of guests arriving for scheduled events are allowed into the territory of Serebryany Bor.

Therefore, you should leave the car in a large free parking lot 20 meters from the checkpoint immediately behind the Khoroshevsky Bridge, and then walk about 2.5 km. If there is a lot of things, then it is better to use a minibus.

Metro

You can get there by minibus or trolleybus from the Polezhaevskaya metro station or by tram 28, 31 from the Shchukinskaya metro station to the terminus near the Khoroshevsky Bridge.

Beach "Fly Away"

There is a beach in Serebryany Bor that is completely different from the ones we are used to. “Fly Away” is comparable in convenience and quality to seaside resorts. Here, guests have at their disposal tents with snow-white awnings, comfortable tables, and small gazebos that can accommodate from 5 to 20 people, so you can easily organize a lavish wedding or party.


The central snow-white tent is designed for banquets for 300 people. It could very well be a wedding or a birthday. A large stage and equipment allow you to perform a variety of music: from classical to club.


You can drink coffee and have a snack in one of the cafes. If you don’t want to leave your comfortable sun lounger, the waiter will bring all the ordered dishes to the gazebo. Deep in the forest there is a small area for corporate events. The relaxation area is equipped with a shower and comfortable washbasins with mirrors. There is also a small fountain with drinking water nearby.


Swimming on Uletai Beach is not allowed. Those who want to take a dip in the water can walk 200 meters to the Serebryany Bor 3 beach. One of the most popular water activities here is the flyboard, which allows you to fly or walk above the surface of the water due to the lifting force of the water jet.

Nudist beach

The nudist beach in Serebryany Bor has existed for quite a long time. At first, fans of an even and even tan were located in a small clearing in the forest. Now a small section of the coast, fenced off by a high fence, has received almost official status as a nudist beach. The beach is very poorly equipped, and it is difficult to classify it as civilized. The main visitors are older people with broad views on aesthetics.

There is a cafe and a couple of water and ice cream stalls. Volleyball is often played on the small volleyball court. The place here is not at all like the well-kept European nudist beaches. If you come here for a tan, it is better to position yourself further from the entrance, closer to the reeds on the left side.

The origin of the name “Silver Forest”

As the weekend approaches, Moscow residents begin to choose a place where they can take a walk, take a break from the noise and get some fresh air. Among the most attractive places for walks within the city is the famous Serebryany Bor. Here, in the coniferous forest, which has become a city park, it is good for skiing and sledding in winter, and in summer many beaches are officially suitable for swimming.

The origin of the name "Serebryany Bor" presumably dates back to the early 17th century, as did the nearby Arkhangelskoye estate. In documents dating from the era of the Time of Troubles, there is a mention of the “Silver Ravine”. According to the chronicles, travelers passed through it on their way to the Zvenigorod Kremlin and the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery.

Silver forest was often called because of an unusual natural phenomenon. Pine trees in the summer at dawn are covered with dew. Bright sunlight reflects off the dense pine needles, making it look like a silver mirror polished to a shine. Now, due to the environmental situation in the city, this phenomenon has become very rare, but you can try to see it. The main thing is to get here before sunrise.


With the coming to power of the son of the first tsar from the Romanov family, Alexei Mikhailovich, Serebryany Bor turned into royal lands for falconry. Later, a stud farm and one of the grenadier regiments of the Russian Imperial Army were located here. Before the revolution of 1917, there were magnificent colonies of herons and nesting grounds for falcons, descendants of the same hunting birds bred at the court of Alexei Mikhailovich.

During the Soviet years, this place became an island in the bed of the Moscow River due to the Khoroshevsky shipping canal, through which a bridge was built according to the design of the architect I. S. Fridlyand. A pier for passenger river transport was built on the embankment.

At the site of the swamp, favored by herons, sand mining was carried out. Subsequently, Lake Bezdonnoye was formed in this place. It got its name because of its great depth and artesian springs, which prevent the lake from becoming shallow.

Swimming areas

City authorities have been monitoring the improvement of the area for many years. Now you can rent a bike here and ride around the well-groomed area. Citizens have at their disposal more than 15 picnic areas equipped with barbecues, parks and alleys with benches and playgrounds.

In the summer months, people come to the territory of Serebryany Bor primarily to swim and sunbathe. There are several well-equipped beaches, both paid and free. Rospotrebnadzor allowed swimming in 2015 on the following beaches in Serebryany Bor:

  • Serebryany Bor-2 on Tamanskaya St., ow. 111;
  • Serebryany Bor-3 on the 4th line of Serebryany Bor.

Serebryany Bor is famous not only for its beaches, but also for its excellent Veteran Park. Its vast territory has everything necessary for the relaxation of elderly people, parents with children and everyone who prefers a relaxing holiday.


The park has many clearings with shady trees and benches. Classical music concerts are often given here on the open stage. On weekends, older Muscovites come here to dance and socialize on the round dance floor.

Restaurant "Estate" in the recreation area "Serebryany Bor"

The family restaurant “Estate” in Serebryany Bor opened in 2009. Two restaurant halls can accommodate up to 200 people. The large European Hall is cozy both in summer and winter. The Summer Hall offers a magnificent view of the Moscow River.


The interior of the halls is made in classical European traditions. In the European Hall you can dine on comfortable sofas at large tables. In the Summer Hall, priority is given to minimalism and spaciousness. The second floor is dedicated to a children's room, which, if desired, can be turned into a VIP room for a small company.

The restaurant menu always includes excellent breakfasts, snacks and hot dishes. The smell of barbecue from an open grill, which spreads throughout the area, is especially mesmerizing. Nearby there is a children's playground with many climbing frames, slides and bird aviaries.

Celebration organization

Serebryany Bor, due to its location within the city, is very popular among newlyweds looking for a place to celebrate their wedding. Corporate events and youth parties are often held here.

All Serebryany Bor restaurants and Uletai Beach are at guests' disposal. The organization of holidays here is carried out by several professional agencies that organize decoration and entertainment programs to suit the most demanding tastes.
