Sunny warm weather and fresh summer air are conducive to the traditional national holiday in the bosom of nature - cooking shish kebabs. But what to do if there is no dacha, and there is sorely not enough time to travel out of town? There are many places in Moscow (mostly free) where you can fry meat and all the necessary conditions have been created for this.

silver Forest

This popular holiday destination, located in the west of Moscow, is famous for its good ecology and picturesque landscapes. Every year, the number of picnic areas and gazebos on the territory of the forest increases (this year there are already more than two dozen), which are perfect for barbecue and with all the necessary infrastructure - tables and benches, barbecues and garbage bins, as well as dry closets nearby.

However, the influx of tourists is also growing here. Therefore, finding a place to rest is becoming an increasingly difficult task. To take free sites with the best views (for example, on the Bottomless Lake), you will most likely have to come here in the early morning. An option for the uneconomical ones is paid vip-tents and gazebos.

How to get there: Polezhaevskaya metro station, then half an hour ride by trolleybus (No. 20, 21, 65 or 86) or minibuses (No. 20, 190 or 593) to the Serebryany Bor stop.

Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo

The park called "Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo" is located just a few kilometers northeast of Serebryany Bor. It is known for its pure spring, from which you can even drink without much fear for health, the diversity of flora and fauna, and an abandoned manor with an old park. Among the ponds there are several picnic areas equipped with everything you need (arbors, barbecues, tables) for cooking meat delicacies. It will be possible to relax in silence in the park only on a weekday, and even then with a small probability. On weekends, this place is occupied by crowds of vacationers who are ready to do anything for the best barbecue places.

How to get there: The place is within walking distance from the Schukinskaya metro station.

Kuzminki-Lyublino

The territory of the Kuzminki-Lublino park is large and divided into three parts - cultural (church, old manor and museums), leisure (attractions, beach, cafe, boat station) and forest (walks among lindens and century-old oaks). A large number of picnic areas are located on the shores of Lake Pike and near Shibaevsky Pond.

Everyone chooses a platform here to their taste: a gazebo, a canopy, benches with tables or ordinary stumps. Barbecues have already been installed in many places, but not everywhere. However, everything you need for a picnic is available for rent here. Moreover, you can agree on it in advance, having previously stipulated all the conditions by phone. The disadvantages of rest in Kuzminki can be competitors, vacationers and an abundance of garbage.

How to get there: the place is located not far (about two kilometers on foot) from the Kuzminki metro station.

Northern Tushino

A similar division into parts can also be observed in the Northern Tushino park. Only here it is an amusement zone, a walking area and a special place for barbecue lovers. Free areas with benches, tables and barbecues are located on the embankment of the Khimki reservoir. The beach is within walking distance.

A picnic can be combined with outdoor activities - tourists praise the local cycling routes. You can rent a bike here just like a children's electric car or a golf cart. Cons - intermittently working toilets and a lot of competition for best places especially on weekends. There are also picnic spots a few kilometers away - along Vilis Latsis Street in the Aleshkinsky Forest Park.

How to get there: the place is not far (about 1–2 kilometers on foot) from the Planernaya metro station.

Troparevsky park

This place is somewhat inferior to its neighbors in terms of the degree of well-being and comfort of rest. And this is its main charm. In Troparevsky Park, you can find deserted paths, feed squirrels from your hand, and even get lost. In a word, for a short time feel yourself among the almost pristine nature. There is less competition for picnic places, of which there are about two dozen here - with gazebos, tables and, as a rule, high barbecues. In a word, a great option for those who are willing to endure some inconvenience (hiking to their destination from the metro, mosquitoes, lack of various entertainment and attractions, a small number of toilets) in order to isolate themselves from the bustle of the city.

How to get there: the park is located not far (about two kilometers on foot) from the Yugo-Zapadnaya and Konkovo ​​metro stations.

Valley of the Setun River

The largest natural reserve in Moscow (the area is about 700 hectares) invites everyone to barbecue. In the valley there are several cozy picnic spots with gazebos, urns and toilets, tables and benches. You should look for them at the beginning of Starovolynskaya Street, on the streets of Kremenchugskaya, Dorogobuzhskaya and Nezhinskaya. It is better to take the brazier with you so as not to waste time looking for rare local frying devices.

In addition to having a picnic, you can comfortably walk or ride a bike along the long spacious alleys, admiring the views of the Moscow River. Or relax with the whole family. There are several playgrounds and sports grounds for children in the valley.

How to get there: you will have to go to the picnic areas in the region of half an hour by bus either from the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line (from the Slavyansky Bulvar or Kuntsevskaya stations by buses No. 11 or 104), or from the Sokolnicheskaya line (from the stations Yugo-Zapadnaya or Universitet » on buses No. 103, 130, 187, 260 or 630).

Tsaritsyno

The picnic area in these places is located at a considerable distance from the well-known Tsaritsyno estate and the park area around it. Barbecue sites are located in the Biryulevsky arboretum, a few kilometers from the estate. Here you can find about a dozen well-maintained points with simple but pretty benches, tables, trash cans and, most importantly, barbecues. Nearby are playgrounds and wonderful green landscapes. The arboretum is clean and tidy, there are squirrels, hedgehogs and other forest animals. If near the picnic area it can be very crowded, then there are many secluded corners scattered around, great for hiking.

How to get there: metro station "Tsaritsyno", then - half an hour ride by bus number 151 to the stop "3rd Radialnaya street", then on foot, following the direction according to the signs.

Kuskovo

In the Kuskovsky forest park, picnic areas are located along the Dawn Alley and near the Great Palace Pond. Places are equipped with everything you need - tables, benches, bins and barbecues. There are about a dozen of them in total, plus several additional paid points, where vacationers will be provided with the necessary utensils for frying shish kebabs for a fee and will be relieved of the obligation to clean up after themselves.

Finally, for family vacation rented houses (from 1000 rubles per hour) with playgrounds nearby are perfect. Here you can also enjoy beautiful landscapes (for example, oak alleys) and fresh air, get a lot of pleasant impressions.

How to get there: metro station "Vykhino", then - forty minutes by bus number 151 to the stop "Veshnyakovskaya" and about a kilometer on foot.

Altufyevo

In the very north of Moscow, on the territory of the Lianozovsky forest nursery (near Leskova and Melikhovskaya streets), there are also several picnic spots. The grounds are equipped with tables and benches, awnings and barbecues. Each can accommodate about ten people. There are biotoilets nearby. The competition for these places is usually not too strong.

There are shops nearby. In other words, this is not the most common recreation area among vacationers, which will undoubtedly play into the hands of those barbecue lovers who get here.

How to get there: the place is within walking distance (a couple of kilometers) from the metro station "Altufievo".

Izmailovo

Picnic areas here are located not on the territory of the park of the same name, but in the nearby Izmailovsky and Terletsky forest parks. There are more than two dozen of them with large oak tables, benches and, as a rule, barbecues. The latter have been installed here for a long time and partially failed, having burned out. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to grab your appliances for frying meat.

In general, there should be enough space in Izmailovo for everyone, because there are not so many vacationers. Another convenience is parking lots nearby (on Chechulin Street and on the Main Alley). Among the minuses, one can single out the abundance of garbage, which is not always cleaned on time.

How to get there: points are scattered in forest parks within walking distance (1–3 kilometers) from Partizanskaya metro station.

Kolomenskoye

You can cook barbecue in Kolomenskoye near the embankment, located a couple of kilometers from the estate of the same name. There is everything you need here: gazebos, tables and barbecues, about a dozen points in total. In the hot season, after a picnic, you can swim, the beach begins to work. There is also a place for a walk here, however, the landscapes may turn out to be more scarce than in the territory of other parks considered. This zone cannot be called completely remote from city noise - the roads run very close to the embankment. But you can easily and quickly get here, combine cooking barbecue with an excursion to the estate.

How to get there: the place is within walking distance (a couple of kilometers) from the Kolomenskoye metro station.

Teply Stan

In the Teplostan Forest Park (near Ostrovityanova Street) there are paid picnic houses for barbecue lovers. Inside is everything you need have a nice rest: benches, folding tables and barbecue. However, the price of about 4,500 rubles per hour will seem "biting" even for a large company. But the rental price includes everything you need - from skewers to coal for ignition. Up to 10-15 people can fit in each house at the same time. Additional amenities - proximity to both the metro and natural beauties (there are ponds and forest alleys nearby). It is better to book a place in advance, although there are almost always free houses.

How to get there: the zone is within walking distance (one and a half kilometers) from the Konkovo ​​metro station.

Khimki Forest Park

More than a dozen picnic areas with all the necessary things for a feast - benches, tables and barbecue grills await barbecue lovers in the Khimki Forest Park. The points are located near Levoberezhnaya and Dybenko streets. Some of them have gazebos that will save you from rain or the scorching sun. There are also rubbish bins, but, unfortunately, there are not enough toilets. In general, it is pleasant to spend time here - the territory is cleared of garbage, there are beautiful landscapes and interesting routes for walks. And most importantly - not too many people.

How to get there: The place is located 2‒3 kilometers from the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station.

Moskvoretsky park

There are about two dozen picnic areas here, but finding them is not so easy. Part of it is located near Isakovsky Street, others are further away, in the forest zone. Additional landmarks in the search - Odintsovskaya embankment and the cape of Chisty Bay. There are barbecue grills and tables with benches at the points. If desired, you can find urns and dry closets here. There should be enough space for everyone, and there is also where to walk and what to see.

How to get there: the sites are within walking distance (2–3 kilometers) from the Myakinino and Strogino metro stations, or by bus No. 687 from the Strogino station.

Bitsevsky forest park

There are three picnic spots here - on Balaklavsky Prospekt (d. 48‒50), on Ostrovityanova Street (d. 39) and at the intersection of Golubinskaya and Inessa Armand streets. The sites are equipped with barbecues and tables with benches. In addition, here you can find grill houses for rent near Sevastopolsky Prospekt. The paths and paths in the forest park are not paved, which makes it difficult to ride a bike. It is better to walk on foot, this will give an excellent chance to observe forest animals - squirrels, hares and birds close up.

How to get there: the zones are within walking distance (2–3 kilometers) from the Konkovo, Yasenevo, and Tyoply Stan metro stations.

Fili Park

About a dozen picnic spots are located on the territory of the park in the area of ​​the Moskva River embankment. Each is equipped with a table with a bench, a barbecue and a trash can.

About the choice of barbecue and skewers:

  • Shish kebab is better to cook from fresh young meat. The darker the meat and the yellower the fat layers, the older it is and the less suitable it is for frying.
  • It is better to add salt to the marinade after the kebab has marinated, as salt corrodes the fibers and contributes to the rapid loss of moisture during frying, making the meat drier.
  • Before frying, it is necessary to remove everything superfluous from the pieces of meat: the remnants of the marinade will burn on fire
  • Cut the onion as small as possible, then it will give more juice
  • It is recommended to store products in the marinade, if possible, in the refrigerator.
  • Exotic barbecue recipe: add kiwi, pineapple, papaya to the marinade - these fruits soften the protein. Marinate no more than two hours
  • To speed up the process in the marinade, you can use carbonated mineral water.
  • Vegetable oil is best mixed with acid - vinegar or wine before putting meat there.
  • It is impossible to pickle meat in aluminum dishes, as the acid corrodes the metal. and the food tastes bad. In field conditions, you can use a plastic bag
  • Large pieces of meat can be pierced with a fork, then the marinade will penetrate the fibers better.

Rules of conduct in forest park areas

It is strictly forbidden to make a fire in forests, reserves and specially protected natural areas. And in forest park areas, you can cook barbecue only in strictly designated places. As a rule, they are equipped with braziers, containers with sand for extinguishing a fire and urns for used coal.

A fire can be kindled in a pit with a depth of at least 0.3 meters, as well as in barbecues, barrels and metal tanks. When lighting a fire, make sure that the flame does not spread beyond the hearth, and there are no combustible substances and objects nearby.

In addition, vacationers should have on hand primary fire extinguishing equipment and a mobile phone for emergency calls.

How to organize outdoor recreation in the summer

What is prohibited in forest park areas

  • Make a fire on peat soils, under coniferous trees, next to timber warehouses, as well as in places where a special fire regime is in force (reserves, wildlife sanctuaries and other protected natural areas);
  • Throw burning matches, cigarette butts and ashes from smoking pipes on the ground. Also, you can not leave garbage, household and construction waste in the forest;
  • Burn grass and make fire outside specially equipped areas;
  • The fire must not be left unattended. Before leaving the place, the source of ignition must be extinguished;
  • You can not use pyrotechnic products in the forest;
  • It is forbidden to leave glass products in a sunlit area.

Since the beginning of the fire season, employees of Mospriroda, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been regularly monitoring forest areas. And during the May holidays they will only intensify.

Per campfire threatens in the wrong place fine up to five thousand rubles. Moreover, each of the participants in the unauthorized picnic will have to pay the amount.

Barbecue installation in the wrong place, even if you have not had time to make a fire, is also equated with an offense. You will also have to pay 5 thousand rubles for this.

If you are preparing a barbecue in a specially designated place, then only coal can be taken to kindle a fire. It is strictly forbidden to use nearby trees as firewood - for illegal logging provided fine from 5 to 200 thousand rubles.

You also need to remember that the park is a public place and drinking alcoholic beverages is prohibited here. A drunk bottle of beer can "cost" 300 rubles, and for an addiction to stronger alcohol you will have to pay up to 700 rubles. Also, for throwing garbage can be fined 500 rubles.

What to do in case of fire

If, through negligence, a fire nevertheless occurred, then you must urgently report this to the fire department by phone: 01, 101 or 112.

At an early stage, the fire can be filled with water or thrown with damp, loose earth. Also, the flame can be knocked down with a broom of green branches. During a peat fire, you should dig up the burning peat and fill it with water. Never leave the area until you are sure the fire has been extinguished.

If you cannot cope on your own and a strong flame threatens life, then you must leave the fire zone. To do this, you need to determine the direction of the wind and the course of the spread of fire - you should leave the place of the fire along its spread.

Also, if possible, you need to plunge into the nearest body of water, wet your clothes and cover your face with a wet cloth. You need to run, crouching to the ground.

Whatever the weather, Muscovites traditionally believe that everything will get better in May: spring will come, work will come. We have selected 8 parks from 8 metropolitan districts where you can barbecue and enjoy nature without fear.

Kuskovo

You can magnificently celebrate the arrival of the long-awaited spring in Kuskovo, where the family of Counts Sheremetevs once walked and had fun in every possible way. In the modern park, along the Dawn Alley and near the Great Palace Pond, equipped picnic areas with wooden benches, tables and barbecues under the roof await guests. In total, the park has 32 barbecue points, including free and paid ones. At the same time, the former are of a very non-trivial nature, but the latter are full-fledged gazebos hidden in the shade of green fir trees, where you can safely retire with a group of friends. It is also important that Kuskovo has convenient parking and clean toilets.

silver Forest

Serebryany Bor looks a little more modest compared to Kuskovo. There are already 22 legal barbecue areas waiting for visitors in it. You can find them at the sand base and on the territory of the ecological trail "At the lake" Bezdonnogo ". Among the equipment there are stationary barbecues, anti-vandal tables, benches, litter bins and cozy gazebos and tents. It’s nice in Serebryany Bor that you can fry everyone’s favorite May treat not just in nature, but on the shore of the lake, where already in the first weeks of spring you can get your feet wet and, by the way, enjoy the air of the ecologically clean zone of Moscow and the Moscow region. Families with children should definitely go here: on the ecological path, kids can be introduced to herons, cranes and owls.

Such comfortable conditions, of course, are not free, however, in honor of the opening of the season, prices are reduced.

Biryulevsky arboretum

You can travel from the stone jungle to a real nature reserve without leaving the Moscow Ring Road in the Southern District of Moscow, in the Biryulevsky arboretum. More than 250 species of rare plants, 15 alleys, Sakura Grove,-all this is a small fraction of what is spread over the endless green expanses of the park. After a day spent here, the pleasant harmony inside will definitely not keep you waiting. All that is needed is to arrive here early and have time to take one of the nine free picnic spots or rent a comfortable gazebo in advance. Despite the fact that rental prices bite, for a large company they will be very appropriate. Moreover, the expected range of services included in the rental price is really impressive. For example, when renting a warm wooden gazebo for a day, you will receive a wooden porch, light music, a music player, a heat gun, sockets, a barbecue, skewers, furniture, a bag of coal and a bottle of lighter fluid. It remains only to bring pickled meat, and a great picnic is provided.

Troparevsky park

Troparevsky Park, located in the Western District of Moscow, is perfect for those who love quiet and secluded places, of which, of course, there will be few during the May holidays. The lack of crowds in the park is primarily ensured by its location - from metro station Konkovo ​​or metro station Yugo-Zapadnaya you will have to walk 2 km on foot, which, of course, not everyone can do. However, if your pedometer records such a large distance, you will be rewarded: 20 comfortable gazebos under the roof, high barbecue grills, a pond where you can go fishing and even rent a boat, as well as live nightingale trills, which will definitely surpass even the most powerful alarm clock. No matter how much you want to, you should not forget about the time in Troparevsky Park: the park closes at 21.00.

Landscape reserve Khimki

Residents of the Northern District of Moscow can also afford to relax in a secluded park - in the Khimkinsky landscape reserve. You can get to the place from the metro station Rechnoy Vokzal either by bus or by car. Picnic spots are located near Levoberezhnaya and Dybenko streets. In most areas there are gazebos under the roof, tables and benches, however, as for barbecues, you will have to take them with you. In addition, it is worth considering that picnic spots in Khimki Park do not differ in capacity - a maximum of 6 people. At the same time, there is something to have fun here: for example, watch birds or get acquainted with moose, and you can finish your vacation with a horseback ride in the CSKA equestrian sports complex.

Reserve Altufievsky

There are a total of 12 picnic spots in the North-East of the capital (6 - in Altufyevo, 2 - in Medvedkovo, 3 - in Lianozovsky forest nursery, 1 - in Severny). The leader in their number is the Altufevsky reserve, it has as many as 6 zones for frying shish kebabs near the street. Leskova and st. Melikhovskaya. The competition in the North-Eastern Administrative District is great, because there are not so many forests here, however, if you arrive much in advance, you can manage to get an excellent place on the edge with a solid gazebo, a large table, benches, trash cans and, most importantly, with an anti-vandal barbecue. A significant plus for vacationers will be the proximity to the park of various grocery stores where you can buy everything you need. A nice bonus is the presence of the Altufevsky spring, where in the case of hot May holidays, you can quench your thirst.

Moskvoretsky park

Moskvoretsky Park is located in the valley of the Moskva River and unites several vast territories at once: the Kirov floodplain, the Stroginskaya floodplain and the Shchukinsky Peninsula. It is not possible to come here just to barbecue, because the history of the park is so rich, and the natural landscape is so unique and diverse that even 24 days will not be enough to study them. Among the entertainment there are excursions along the floodplains with a visit to the military-historical "Alley of Life" and the "Cedar Field of Memory", the Pheasantary enclosure complex, sports grounds, playgrounds and carousels, etc. There are also plenty of picnic areas here - about 20, however, in order to find them, you will have to contrive. When searching, pay attention to the street. Isakovsky, Odintsovskaya Embankment and the Cape of the Clean Bay. If luck smiles at you, then you will find beautiful and free gazebos, barbecues and tables with benches. By the way, it would not be superfluous to take a small bag of milk on such a trip: there are a lot of hedgehogs in the park who want to eat.

Kuzminki Park

The Kuzminki-Lublino park in the South-Eastern Administrative District can be called the same in terms of the number of entertainments as the Moskvoretsky Park. It is divided into three zones: cultural (historical monuments, environmental education center), leisure (ecological trails, fitness grounds, swimming areas, beach volleyball) and picnic-forest (about 30 barbecue areas, including 28 bear canteens with oak tables and benches). There are a lot of ways to spend your leisure time in Kuzminki, so you should think carefully about the recreation program. So, if you don’t want to wander through the forest on your own in search of a picnic area, call the park administration a week before the celebration and order a place of increased comfort “business class” or reduced “economy class”. Most points are equipped with stationary barbecues, but if you are reluctant to bring the same skewers with you, you can easily rent them. In the park, guests are always met not only by a lot of people, but also by living creatures, so stock up on nuts for squirrels and carrots for hares.

Bitsevsky forest park

The Bitsevsky Forest Park is a fairly wild forest area where you can spend a day in complete harmony with nature. There are not so many picnic spots here - about three. They are located on Balaklavsky Prospekt, st. Ostrovityanova and at the intersection of st. Golubinskaya and st. Inessa Armand. Despite their scarcity, they are quite worthy: spacious oak gazebos, tables and benches and barbecue areas. However, given the high traffic of the park, it does not hurt to take a portable barbecue with you, because the quality of the installed ones leaves much to be desired. If desired, guests can stay not only on a free site, but also rent a whole grill house near Sevastopolsky Prospekt. If the May kebabs seem insufficient for entertainment, then you can always take a walk to the famous noble estates Bitsevsky park: Znamenskoye-Sadki, Yasenevo and Narrow., VK/

Curry, ginger, garlic, coriander, parsley, rosemary, suneli hops, citrus fruits (lemon, orange, lime) and honey will make the chicken taste special. In Turkish cuisine, tender white meat is served with natural yogurt and mint. In Europe - with mushrooms, bacon, cheese, olives and dried apricots. If you're roasting a whole bird, stuff it with fresh apple or quince slices for a more subtle flavor. Chicken meat in the company of asparagus, tomatoes and cream can be an excellent filling for French quiche. And in combination with pineapples - for pizza.

Easily digestible protein

The benefit of chicken lies in the white meat, which contains a large amount of easily digestible protein and many other nutrients. Protein is very important for the body - it is a source of essential amino acids, strengthens the immune system and maintains muscle tone. A balanced composition of amino acids in chicken meat is important for children's nutrition. It is a building material for bones and muscles, as well as the development of mental abilities.


Which meat to choose: chilled or frozen?

Frozen meat is worth buying only if you need to make a food supply for a week or a month. When choosing meat for barbecue, give preference to chilled products - they are usually fresher and more tender, and dishes from them are more juicy and tasty.


What is important to know when choosing a place

Going on a picnic, perhaps, everyone wondered - where is the best place to gather with friends in order to have a good rest. Beautiful places with various activities in Moscow a lot. One "but" - not all metropolitan parks are allowed to fry shish kebab. For illegal lighting of fires, a fine of 4,000 to 300,000 rubles is due. Find out which ones are equipped with fire-fighting equipment and are available for a delicious holiday.


How to check the freshness of meat?

Fresh chicken has a whitish-yellow skin with a pink tint and a barely perceptible smell of fresh meat. On the cut, the muscles of a fresh chicken are slightly moist, and the internal cavity of the carcass is shiny and without mucus. A high-quality carcass does not have fractures of the legs and wings, curvature of the back and sternum, as well as dark pigment spots. The chicken should look appetizing even in the store and make you want to cook something delicious!


How to dress for a picnic to be at ease

Needless to say, picnic clothes should be comfortable, not too light, but not a country-garden outfit, which is not a pity. A denim jumpsuit, a T-shirt with a burger print or a total black look will be just the thing. And light running shoes, unusually shaped sunglasses and a cap with a fun print will complete the look. When the evening gets chilly, throw on a denim jacket or plaid flannel shirt.


What does proper packaging look like?

Proper packaging allows you to see the product and has no damage. The label contains the production date and expiration date, storage conditions, information on compliance with regulatory documents, the state mark of conformity, the name of the poultry farm, the place of production and the brand name. Give preference to poultry in factory-branded packaging with the manufacturer's branded label on which the expiration date is applied. This is a serious guarantee of product quality and safety.


What to bring on a picnic

The success of a picnic directly depends on careful preparation for it. In addition to the standard picnic kit (brazier, charcoal, ignition, dishes and trash bags), you will need a mini-first aid kit with band-aid, mosquito repellent and sunscreen. A weightless raincoat or umbrella will help you spend an unforgettable vacation without losing your mood due to a sudden rain.


To nature, to barbecue!

The right barbecue begins with the choice of meat. It should be not just fresh, but fresh! If you do not have the time or desire to marinate it yourself, it is quite possible to stop at ready-made options. For example, juicy skewers of lean chicken breast in Petelinka's spicy barbecue sauce are perfect for those who follow their figure. And lovers of traditional tastes will like chicken marinated in spicy herbs. And do not forget about the grate, which guarantees uniform frying of the dish.
