Rebrov Street, the Colonnade, the walk along the Olkhovka
The oldest part of the national park, from the Narzan Gallery and the colonnade over the Olkhovka to the Mirror Pond and the Glass Stream pavilion. The paths barely climb. There is the Rose Platform, outcrops of red sandstone, and squirrels on the walks. People come with a cup and go slowly.
Why go
Morning, when the gallery is pouring narzan, and then a short loop. The pond is also good in the late light. This part is the easy day, before the cable car and the saddle.
Where to stay
The convenient base is the south end of the boulevard, so the colonnade is the first thing outside the door. From Prospekt Mira it is also a walk, past the fortress and down to the Olkhovka.

Terrenkur No. 1 starts at the gallery, follows the Olkhovka past the Glass Stream and comes back. The climb is barely there. The Red Stones in this part are brick-brown.
Where to have it
