An open-air exhibition of military equipment in Temryuk. Attraction of the Taman Peninsula: Museum "Military Hill" Museum Military Hill address

The Temryuk City Museum - Military Hill was opened in 1983, in the year of celebrating the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Temryuk region from the Nazi invaders.

The initiator of the creation of the museum was the 1st Secretary of the CPSU Republic of Kazakhstan Kuemzhiev Alexander Fedorovich and the chairman of the district executive committee Viktor Nikolaevich Saloshenko.

The creation of a museum is only a small part of their work, but what a significant and memorable one. The military hill has become the hallmark of Temryuk.

Purchasing exhibits and war relics turned out to be difficult, sometimes impossible.

It was decided to purchase post-war equipment. In this work, the district leaders were supported by the USSR Ministry of Culture and the USSR Ministry of Defense. Enthusiasts from different corners countries.

The most interested attention to this issue was shown by the former commander of the Azov military flotilla, at that time the commander-in-chief of the USSR Navy, Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR, Hero of the Soviet Union, Admiral S.G. Gorshkov.

He presented Temryuk with a torpedo boat that had been removed from service. On his own he arrived at the port of Temryuk and was transported to Mount Miska.

The whole city was involved in the arrangement of the museum. War veterans, heads of farms and enterprises worked after work, on weekends. Komsomol members, public utilities, signalmen, and electricians tried.

The history of the Military Hill exhibits began with an old steam locomotive, doomedly standing at a dead end of the Starotitarovsky railway section. It was decided to deliver it to Mount Miska, where the T-34 battle tank had already been installed in 1960.

Then the formidable Katyusha appeared, which terrified the Nazis. It was not put into production before the start of the Great Patriotic War, and then it was hastily tested in raids on occupied territory.

The museum's collection quickly expanded. Tanks, artillery pieces, armored personnel carriers, mines, airplanes appeared... Today the museum's exhibition includes more than a hundred exhibits of pre- and post-war military equipment.

The museum has become unique center patriotic education. This is the venue for patriotic events, meetings of veterans and soldiers of the Russian army, and athletes. Amateur artistic groups from the region perform here. Victory parades take place on the hill. Athletes, cadets, soldiers and sailors of military units from all over Kuban come here.

Tourists - adults and children - have been viewing Military Hill and the entire Temryuk district with unflagging interest for more than 30 years. The view from Mount Miska is breathtaking. Taman, in full view. A unique spectacle. The location at the very top of an extinct mud volcano.

Temryuk and its residents are proud of the Military Hill.

Taman is one of the Kuban landscapes that are unlike each other. This peninsula is a lowland lying “on the corner” of Cherny and Azov seas. It is cut by sea estuaries, narrow thickets of river floodplains, a network of irrigation canals, most of the location is vineyards, melon fields and orchards, as well as sandbanks. It is windy here, and administratively all this is part of one district, the center of which is the city of Temryuk. The military hill is its main attraction.

Where is Military Hill located on the map?

Geographically this is central part city ​​limits. Not far from here you will find a monument to the Liquidators of the Chernobyl disaster, the Bus Station and the Central Market.

History of the formation of the attraction

The northeastern “crossroads” - the place from where roads to different Taman resorts diverge - is Temryuk. Military Hill is a hill in the northern massif of a quiet town. The hill was formed on the site of the old mud volcano Miska (locals say “Myska”). The last eruption was observed here in 1943.

During the Second World War, the most fierce battles for Temryuk took place on this bridgehead, which were part of the theater of action of the Novorossiysk-Taman offensive operation. The landing force, which landed to the east, boldly attacked the Nazi positions, which went down in history under the name “Blue Line”. The fighters prevented the organized evacuation of the enemy.

Today, the P-251 highway passes through this area, connecting the station. Golubitskaya with Krasnodar. Consequently, bus passengers on intraregional routes can admire a unique museum immediately from the left and right windows of the cabin. Of course, because the local street. Rosa Luxemburg is a fragment of the named route.

This point in the post-war period - namely in 1983 - received the status of a “protected exhibition pavilion”, a branch of the Temryuk Local Lore museum complex. At the end of the last century, the exhibition was replenished with retired supersonic fighters and combat boats, torpedoes and mines, and many types of other offensive and defensive equipment.

Main military museum in Temryuk

Once on the road connecting the street. September 27 and Rosa Luxemburg, it is not difficult to notice majestic monuments, military aircraft, tanks and ships of various sizes: the first thing that catches your eye is the T-34, whose pedestal stands at the very edge of the road. They belong to the era of the second half of the 20th – early 21st centuries. The official entrance to the fenced area is at the end of the steps connecting the space to the roadway.

Typically, a tour of a curious object begins with an inspection of the equipment on display. Only then do visitors pay attention to several impressive memorials. Visitors willingly take pictures with the muzzles of the terrible guns of the Great Patriotic War, the MT-13 mortar, artillery samples, including the KS-19 and Katyusha anti-aircraft guns, IS-3, T-34 85, T-72 tanks, boats, propellers, power plants and fighters of those times.

Mixed with military equipment on Mount Myska there is also post-war equipment - L-29, MiG-21 PFM and AN-14 aircraft, P-15 missile and much more. A complete list would take up a whole page. It is necessary to separately note the Su-208-79 steam locomotive and the ZIS-5 truck, which transported trains with soldiers in those terrible years.

At the eastern end of this territory, a building was built where other exhibits are displayed - photographs, documents, propaganda posters, maps, personal belongings of soldiers and their commanders. In the photo showing the Military Hill Museum in Temryuk, we see a huge complex consisting not only of an exhibition of inactive equipment, but also of many memorial structures.

Among them sculptural compositions“We won”, “Hurray for the Motherland!” and "Explosion". The latter represents an original vision of the war by one of the popular local muralists. The monument was opened on June 22, 2013 - in honor of the well-known mournful date. Before the audience is a composition consisting of welded together archaeological artifacts– rusty helmets, machine guns, sapper shovels, cartridge and bomb casings, as well as flasks and fragments of tank barrels.

How to get there (get there)?

It’s quite easy to get to Voennaya Gorka - this is the top of the climb, which begins at the end of the street on September 27 (Kalinina). The site is easily accessible from the swamp, the restaurant “On the Volcano” and the Church of the Archangel Michael.

People have different opinions about this place. The fact is that reviews of the described attraction, which are easy to find on the Internet, vary greatly in nature. Some believe that almost every Russian city has a similar exhibition complex, they say, it is not worth the money spent. Others are sure: Military Hill is the most interesting of such museums, and even more so in Temryuk, since the most creative guides work here.

On the slopes of an extinct mud volcano, Mount Miska. It was opened in 1983. The museum is located on both sides of the highway. Here you can view an impressive collection of authentic equipment from the Second World War: airplanes, helicopters, warships, tanks, various guns, missiles, trucks and even a train. All exhibits are in excellent condition, the museum grounds are well-groomed and beautiful. Walking here will be interesting for both children and adults.

The battles for the Taman Peninsula were very difficult and bloody. The Germans organized a defense line here, which they considered impregnable - it went down in history as the Blue Line. The Blue Line blocked the Soviet troops' road to Crimea, while it was a springboard for the Nazi army for a counter-offensive in the Caucasus. Some of the most massive and heaviest air battles of the Second World War took place over Taman and Anapa, which largely decided the outcome of the Battle of Taman. Therefore, at Military Hill, much attention is paid to aviation.

In every even the smallest village on Taman there were war memorials - there was not a single piece of land that was not affected by the war. So the organization of such an interesting and large-scale museum here, in Temryuk, is not accidental.

The Krasnodar region is famous for its history and attractions. One of the places where, however, travelers do not come so often is Temryuk, the biggest locality Taman Peninsula. And being on vacation in , we went here on .

Temryuk is a historical place. Human settlements have existed here since ancient times. In the XIV century, the Genoese colony of Copa was located on this site, then, at the turn of the XV-XVI centuries - Crimean city Tumnev. During the reign of the Kabardian prince Temryuk Idarovich (Temryuk-Murza, died in 1571), an ally of Ivan the Terrible, the New Temryuk fortress was built here, which, however, in 1570 was included in the Crimean Khanate and renamed Adis.

The population of the city was mixed - Greeks, Jews, Armenians, and Yasses lived here, who were mainly engaged in trade. The Don Cossacks made their raids here several times. After the Russian-Turkish War of 1787-1792, Taman was included in the Russian Empire. Temryuk first existed as a village, and since 1860 - as a city.

Road from Gelendzhik to Temryuk

The weather that day did not please us - the sky was covered with dense clouds. It looks like it's about to start raining. It was very steamy. We drove through Novorossiysk and left Anapa aside. The mountains gave way to endless steppe expanses.

Almost all fields are sown. Here and there there were shops selling local products - melons, watermelons and other gifts from the Kuban.

Finally, we enter Temryuk. Having wandered around the city a little (the navigator failed), we drove up to the hill where the Military Hill is located.

Museum "Military Hill"

Museum of military equipment under open air“Military Hill” is located on the slopes of the Miska mud volcano. It was opened in 1983, when the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Taman Peninsula from Nazi troops was celebrated.

Tank T-34-85 on the mound

The legendary T-34-85 tank, installed on a high mound, is a monument to the liberators of Taman, the soldiers of the 56th Army of the North Caucasus Front, who on October 9, 1943 completely cleared the Taman Peninsula of German occupiers.

The highway divides the museum into two parts. The collection is constantly updated, new exhibits appear. Both equipment from the Great Patriotic War and newer ones are presented here.

Aircraft AN-24B and MiG-23UB

Military train: Su-208-79 steam locomotive with a sick bay car and an open platform on which a ZIS-2 cannon is installed

From the height of Military Hill, magnificent panoramas of the surrounding area open up - the coastal lowland, the Sea of ​​Azov, and the Kurchansky Estuary. Since it was August, the vegetation had withered from the heat and the ground was cracked. Nevertheless, the pictures of the steppe were still impressive.

The words are carved on the stele:

The defense of Temryuk will go down in the history of the Patriotic War. The whole country is watching the heroism shown by the personnel, just as it once followed the heroes of Sevastopol.

As I wrote above, the Military Hill museum is located on the slopes of the Miska mud volcano. It was active back in the 19th century, with eruptions observed in 1812, 1844 and 1860. The 1843 eruption was the most powerful and was accompanied by emissions of breccia, vapor, smoke and flame. The cone-shaped peak fell down, the resulting caldera was filled with water and oil over the course of several years.

The volcano got its name because of its shape. The Cossacks living in the vicinity called it “Myska”, that is, “Plate”. Currently, the caldera is occupied by vegetation and a small lake. It is adjacent to the second part of the Military Hill museum.

And it was time for us to return home - the weather was too severe. If it were a little cooler, we could take a walk around Temryuk itself and visit its other attractions - the Archaeological Museum, the Walk of Fame. On the outskirts of Temryuk there is Mount Rotten (Hephaestus Volcano) - one of the largest active mud volcanoes in the Temryuk region. Not far from the city is located, in the village of Za Rodinu, the Tizdar mud volcano.

After Anapa the landscape became more mountainous. And finally it started to rain.

And when we approached Gelendzhik, the sun came out.

The fenced part of the museum displays land and aviation equipment. There are many tanks, armored vehicles, guns, and there is a railway train that has been preserved since the Great Patriotic War. From aviation you can see planes and fighters, helicopters, missiles. The second part mainly contains marine equipment: torpedoes, boats. All exhibits are in excellent condition, you can touch them and take pictures; Each one has an information plaque.

The symbol of the museum is the T-34 tank on a high pedestal, which participated in the liberation of Temryuk from the Germans.
