Historical place related to Russian poetry. However the maintenance is poor and the natural spring pool could be much cleaner. Still is a nice place to visit.

Proval Lake is a karst cave about 18 meters deep, filled with blue hydrogen sulphide water, which has healing properties. It has become a symbol of Pyatigorsk and is known from the novel "12 Chairs" by Ilf and Petrov. Do not expect any particularly pleasant sensations from this place. The smell of hydrogen sulphide is peculiar, it is unlikely to please you. And the lake itself is very, very small, about the size of a garden pond, partially covered with a white film. There are grates installed so that persistent tourists do not fall into this smelly pond. Probably, if you look at this pond from above, the view is more mysterious. The passage to the "lake" is a pedestrian tunnel through the rock.

Beautiful and historical place. The tunnel to the cave is very well maintained and has paved floor and hidden lights in the walls that felt like a tunnel to the Wonder land. And classical music that plays non-stop! The cave with the lake is amazing and a story behind it too. I very recommend to everyone at least ones in lifetime to visit this place. You won't regret it!

Nice place, no admition fee

A must-see in the city, small place, little time to see it, but nice view from outside the tunnel over the city!

I like it♥️. I am recommending this place for natural - lovers travellers. Its up on a small mountain, very beautiful view, there is a gift shop available.

Just a hole with smelly water. Touristy. Nothing to see other than for the sake of a checkbox.

(Translated by Google) A ticket for the cable car costs 400 (round trip). It had been very cloudy all week, but the sun finally appeared on the top of the mountain. To leave a sign in the store it costs 600 rubles (for any color sign, paint, hammer and nails). Free photo and printout at the entrance. Souvenirs at reasonable prices (Original) Билет на канатке стоит 400(туда и обратно). Всю неделю было очень пасмурно, на вершине горе наконец-то появилось солнышко. Чтобы оставить табличку в магазине стоит 600р(на любой цвет табличка, краска, молоток и гвозди). На входе бесплатное фото с распечаткой. Сувениры приемлемой цены

(Translated by Google) I really like this place! The climb is simple and fast, cheap. And from Mashuk there are such views!!! And there is also a very good cafe at the top, called El. We definitely recommend it. (Original) Очень нравится это место! Подъем простой и быстрый, дёшево. А с Машука открываются такие виды!!! А еще там очень хорошая кафешка наверху, называется Ель. Однозначно рекомендуем.

(Translated by Google) You can take the cable car up to the mountain. If you arrive early in the morning, there won't be a line. You can descend by road. The route isn't very interesting, but you'll end up at the Gate of the Sun. It takes about an hour. If you're short on time, it's better to take the cable car down. The mountain is quite interesting. (Original) На гору можно подняться по канатной дороге. Если подойти с утра, очереди не будет. Спуститься можно по дороге. Путь не очень интересный, выйдете к Воротам солнца. По времени - займет около часа. Если времени немного, лучше спуститься вниз по канатной дороге. На горе достаточно интересно

(Translated by Google) 960 meters above Pyatigorsk. You can go up on the ski lift (360₽ round trip), it opens until 20.00 I think. A good overview, you can see Elbrus, I recommend visiting it on the first or second day of your arrival. If you have a lot of time, you can walk down the path (walking path). On the other side of the mountain is the site of Lermontov's duel (Original) 960метров над Пятигорском. Можно подняться на подъёмнике (360₽ туда-обратно), работает до 20.00 вроде. Хороший обзор, можно увидеть Эльбрус, рекомендую к посещению в первый-второй день приезда. Если много времени можно пешком спуститься по терренкуру (пешей дорожке). На другой стороне горы место дуэли Лермонтова

(Translated by Google) There was a transit flight through mineral waters. 7 o'clock I had to do something. We left for Pyatigorsk and climbed Mashuk. Beautiful views of the city, sunny day, light frost. Great 👌 (Original) Был транзитный рейс через минводы. 7 часов надо было чем-то заняться. Уехали в Пятигорск, поднялись на Машук. Красивые виды на город, солнечный день, легкий мороз. Прекрасно 👌

(Translated by Google) Very cool place. We climbed the mountain along the road for about 2 hours. There was a snowstorm, but the view was still awesome. There is a cafe at the top of the mountain where you can eat and relax. I recommend visiting this place for lovers of mountains and active tourism! (Original) Очень классное место. Взбирались на гору по дороге около 2 часов. Была метель, но всё равно вид был офигенный. На вершине горы есть кафе, где можно поесть и отдохнуть. Любителям гор и активного туризма рекомендую посетить это место!

210roubles one way, 360roubles return. Very fast ascent too😜. Beautiful place in good condition bike rental at bottom station too👌🏼

Cute oldschool cable car. Very fast. The views from the top are pretty good too.

Cool antique cable cars take you to the mountain top where you get a free photo with a view. You can see the whole region. Fun city signs show the direction of world cities. Worth the quick trip as a tourist or on a date

The ride is 3 minutes. Interesting experience. On top very beautiful scenic view over the city and the valley

Very nice place & good energy 👍👏

Line is huge, you have to wait for a long time. There are two trains, that is why. Trains are from USSR, but feel safe

Beautiful views on the highground

Then we reached the Tsvetnik Park – this is the oldest park of the resort, created in the middle of the 19th century, with the Lermontov Gallery, Diana's Grotto, fountains and a monument to Mikhail Lermontov, who was a frequent guest of Pyatigorsk. There is no need to describe it in detail, it is so beautiful that you have to see it yourself. The central place here can be considered the Lermontov Gallery – this is a historical building made of wood, glass and metal.

Nice park, variety of scenes, nice to visit in any kind of "green" season. However, there is influence of traffic noise. And you absolutely cannot move around with kids trolley.

Beautiful views from The Chinese Pavilion , but more importantly a free open air cinema every night in the summer except Mondays . A lovely atmosphere.

Very beautiful flowers. On my way to the park, I saw this beautiful church.

❤

Absolutely beautiful and stunning place! Abundance of various flowers and beautiful architecture.

Nice park with beautiful flower but looks a little artificial and small.
