    Just a delightful and fabulous place, it’s a shame that it’s abandoned. The head sticks half out of the ground, and a stream oozes from under it. Very reminiscent of the head from "Ruslan and Lyudmila", only the helmet is missing. The brave prince looks - And he sees a miracle before him. Will I find colors and words? There is a living head in front of him. Huge eyes covered in sleep; He snores, rocking his feathered helmet, And feathers in the dark heights, Like shadows, they walk, fluttering. In its terrible beauty Rising above the gloomy steppe, Surrounded by silence The guardian of the nameless desert, Ruslan will have it A menacing and foggy mass. . . By the way, one of the legends about this place says that Pushkin visited this place It’s strange why archaeologists don’t dig up this unrealistically huge head? It would be interesting to see it all! The sculpture is located in a picturesque place. There is a small pond with a bridge and a large park.

    It’s a shame that such an atmospheric and unusual place is simply abandoned. This applies to both the head itself and the entire park. I recommend coming to look at the head in the evening hours, then it looks especially dark, unusual and realistic. In bad weather or after rain, it is worth taking care of good waterproof shoes - the roads here turn into mud very quickly.

    A very unusual architectural monument. We have long wanted to come here and see this miracle. Beautiful and unusual. The park is suitable for walking. It's quite easy to find and not far from the road. But the parking lot is small, I can’t imagine where people park in the summer.

    Quiet, clean park 30 minutes from St. Petersburg. Variety of birds and different types of trees. There is a pond on the territory. I noticed that unfortunately people don’t always clean up after themselves after they’ve sat. But this is not the fault of the park, but of education and self-respect. In general, I advise everyone to visit there at least once.

    The Head of Adam boulder is located in Sergievka Park, behind Peterhof. A cozy forest park with a river, many rare birds, and squirrels. There is a palace, half restored. University buildings. The air is clean.

    A wonderful idea as a decoration for a park in a picturesque location. The guards testify that previously there was a metal helmet on the head with a fastening on the bridge of the nose. At this place you can now see, apparently, a technological hole. At the base of the boulder there is a spring.

    An interesting artifact; there are almost no official documents left on park architecture. There is a version that the head was in that place much earlier than the foundation of the park. In my opinion, this is a striking example of the processing of a megalith using unknown technologies, unless of course the head was made long before the park.

    A wonderful monument. The stone amazes not so much with its size, but rather with the unusual work performed by an unknown craftsman. There is a legend (or maybe not, that it was from her that A.S. Pushkin described the talking head in the poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila”). Just imagine how long ago it was carved there. They also write that previously a stream poured out of the nose (true or not, I don’t know), but now the stream is just running past.
