AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Cool Springs KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

Spanish

Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with
the Spanish language. Music, games, children’s Spanish literature, and other tools give
children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and see Spanish language to develop
vocabulary and conversation skills. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers,
colors, animals, family, body parts, and pets, as well as how to engage conversationally
during common scenarios at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo.

Our Teachers

We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!

A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH

An Artist’s Heart

“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.

We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.

Family Stories

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!

  • I wanted to make a testimonial about my wonderful experience with KinderCare. In 2009, I enrolled both of my children (at the time son was one and my daughter was four). I immediately enrolled my daughter in the Phonics enrichment program run through the daycare. Once my son reached the age to be enrolled, I enrolled him as well. When my daughter entered Kindergarten she was already above the expectation. She is now going into third grade and she is reading at almost a fifth grade level. This little girl had learned to break down words by using what she was taught in the Phonics program. I fully support the daycare and school by encouraging reading in our home and buying books that my kids will enjoy.

    My son has always been very interested in reading, but I had no idea how advanced he was. I learned at the beginning of this term (equivalent to preschool age) that he could read. The director, Tonya and staff stood around us while he read me an entire book provided from the school used in the Phonics program. All of us stood there beaming with pride as he read the small book cover to cover. But this was only the beginning of it. Today my son is not only reading those smaller books, but he is reading at almost a third grade level. He is reading words out of the books that are made for the instructors. He is reading contractions, complex words and I believe that by sounding out words he has never seen, the way he learned to phonetically, he could read and comprehend almost any word put in front of him. I attribute his success to the Phonics program, the support of our KinderCare family and his personal drive and determination.

    I now have two children who think reading is fun! I have learned through the workforce and managing other people how very important it is to effectively communicate. The Phonics program provides the fundamentals of reading and the earlier they start, the more equipped they are.

    Tonya and the staff at Cool Springs KinderCare have provided constant encouragement and support. We are loyal and faithful clients and we gladly put our kids’ safety and education in their more than capable hands. We are moving this year, but we intend to stay with KinderCare for our now School Age children. We are looking forward to new enrichment opportunities to come. Thank you to Tonya, Lisa, Kathy, Karla and the rest of our KinderCare family for encouraging us and our children to strive to be the best!

    Rebecca E. – KinderCare Parent
  • KinderCare has been, and continues to be, a blessing to our family.   I enrolled my child when she was three months old.  Her first daycare teacher was Ms. Debbie.  My daughter is now two years old and still wants to give Ms. Debbie a hug goodbye every day!  All of the teachers and staff at KinderCare care deeply about the children that are entrusted to their care; the safety, learning and emotional well-being of the kids are all very important to them.  I would absolutely recommend KinderCare to families looking for a safe, fun, nurturing environment for their children.

Day Care Centers Site

More and more in today’s world both parents have employment and need suitable day care centers for their children. These early stages in a child’s life are very important to their growth and development. Choosing a good child day care center is vital, one where the adult won’t just plunk your children down in front of a soap opera all day and feed them Top Ramen. You should look for day care centers that provide learning programs and playtime for your child, along with a safe and healthy environment. 

There are many different types of day care centers, ranging from basic nurseries to preschools that will provide more of a learning environment for your children. Some day care centers specialize in a specific age range, while others are more open. When you’re contemplating placing your child in a specific day care center, you should visit each one with your child. In this way, you can see how your child reacts to the other children who are there and to the caregiver. You want your child to be happy and comfortable.

While some day care centers provide a greater variety of activities than others, any good day care center is going to encourage positive interaction among all of the children.

Providing the child care and day care services:Day Care Center / Nursery, Child Care Provider

 

While you don’t need to go overboard in choosing suitable day care centers, you should approach the subject seriously and with thought. Your child is going to be spending a good-sized portion of his or her life in day cares and you want to make sure it is going to be a positive experience. Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority.
When you are considering a day care center, you should look at where it is located and how much it costs. There’s not much sense in putting your son or daughter in daycare so that you can work full time and spending most of what you earn on the day care center’s tuitions and your travel expenses. If that’s the case, you might as well stay home with your child. However, if you do truly need the money, there are usually plenty of day care services available and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one close by that is reasonably priced. 

Different Kinds of Child day Care Centers

While child day care centers are common, there is such a huge demand for this service that there are now quite a variety of options available other than basic day care. These include the following:

  • Home child care or family childcare
  • Child care services
  • Preschool
  • Nursery

Home child care tends to be the most popular option because it is generally more affordable and a smaller environment. While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy.

Home child care providers are also more adaptable, generally speaking. This means that if your child likes a certain song sung to them before they take their nap each day, the home care provider is more likely to be willing to do that than someone in a larger day care facility. Most adult home child care providers are parents themselves, making them better able to understand and love your child.

Other Things to Think About

One of the first steps you should take after picking out a family day care center that you think will be suitable for your child is do a little investigating. This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children.
As mentioned earlier, it is a good idea to visit the child day care center that you are considering. You should do this at least a couple of times, and try to go at different times of the day so that you can get a better idea of what kind of schedule they have. This will help you to see how your own child would fit in.
If you are having difficulties finding the appropriate child care environment for your son or daughter, there are some other options. Some people get family and friends to help out, while others hire a nanny. Adult nannies are a good option because they ensure that your child receives personal attention and quality child care. However, this also means that your child will not receive as much social interaction since he or she won’t have other children to play with like in a family day care center.

No matter what option you decide to go with, make sure that you know who you are leaving your child with.  Meet them, get to know them, and let your child do the same. Do some research on the internet to make sure that no one has had negative experiences with the day care center you are considering. Check to make sure that they are legally licensed. Once you have done all of this, you can feel more confident and secure in knowing that you have chosen the right day care center for your child.

Switching Day Care Centers

Choosing Another Child Care Provider

So you want to switch day care providers for your kids but you don’t know where to start or what to choose among the plethora of options out there in this world. It is fittingly one of the most important decisions of a young parent’s journey due to the fact that a child’s first formative years up until the age of six is critical. It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame.

First, you must consider the cost of attending some of the more prestigious and rigorous day care provider centers in your area. In some areas, let’s face the reality that the more money per month per child spent; the better the facilities and the educational value experience offered for your child. Things such as using smart boards and I Pad’s to enhance the learning experience is a very real possibility in these places. However, if a parent is budget conscious they can still afford this experience but it would mean cutting back on all or most non-necessity spending. This would include curbing your eating out habits as well as any leisure entertainment or travel activity and place that money instead into your child’s future day care home. If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place.

Secondly, you need to consider your travel times and distance of day care relative to your work and other important places like the hospital, grocery store, bank, and places that you frequent on a daily basis. Is it near enough that you can get to your child should he/she become ill or need special attention so that the day care center can contact you and arrange a meeting with you the same day if needed.

Furthermore, you need to consider the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the day care center provider. Do not underestimate a clean environment for your kid to play and learn in with other kids. Your kid will enjoy making new friends in a clean and safe environment. Plus you as a parent will enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your child will not be being home any unwanted germs and diseases into your house. Parents must also consider if there is a dispute over payment and care; how does the management and staff deal with such requests? If there is a lackadaisical approach to your core issues; then that is a bad prelude of things to come concerning your child’s care. Your child will probably feel like he/she is being neglected or not fed on time and will start to complain to you ever so slightly that something is not right. When they do, do not hesitate to take them out of that day care center and find another one immediately.

In a recessionary economy, it is okay and permissible for both parents and kids to demand the best care for their dollar. Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it!

Child Care Options for Low Income Families

One of the most frustrating aspects of being a working citizen is not having the ability to afford childcare. The majority of day care facilities charge as much as $300 per week for each child. That amount is difficult for middle-class citizens to pay. Low-income families cannot fathom paying such an expense. Luckily, the government and the various states have developed programs that help low-income families get the childcare they deserve. The following is some information on those programs:

Extended Day Program

The extended day program can assist low-income working parents during the regular school year. Many school districts offer this program. The school keeps children before and after school hours for a small monthly fee. A parent can drop a child off as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 6:00 p.m. This program is excellent for low-income workers with daytime weekday jobs. The cost is approximately $150 per month for before and after school. The weekly rate is approximately $37.50, which is extremely competitive.

The attendants participate in various activities with the children before and after school. They help the children with their homework so that the parents have less stress when they come home from work. They give the children a full breakfast in the morning program and a snack in the evening program. Parents can opt to pay for the morning program only, the evening program only, or both programs. The evening program is the more expensive of the two because it lasts so many hours after the school releases the children. The evening program is $100 while the morning program is $52.

The Child Care Assistance Program

CCAP is a special program that provides childcare assistance to certain low-income families. People who are collecting TANF are automatically eligible to receive this assistance. Teenage parents who are working on obtaining their educations are also eligible for CCAP. Those who are not collecting TANF can still qualify if they are pursuing education that will improve their work skills and job opportunities. Parents can apply for CCAP assistance with the Department of Children & Family Services. The financial guidelines for qualification are along the lines of a $3,000 per month income threshold for a four-person family. The applicant must have proof of income, social security cards, birth certificates, and immunization records for all children. Application processing can take up to 30 days.

Head Start

Head start is a program for children between the ages of three and five. The program provides childcare services and medical services to the children who qualify. It is funded by the Administration of Children’s Services. The Head Start program covers childcare from 7 a. m. to 5 p.m. Teachers work with the children to fine-tune their social and developmental skills. Those who are interested in the program may apply online. Applicants go on a waitlist until there is an available slot in the program. It is best for an interested person to complete an application as quickly as possible since the wait may be extended.

Child Care Voucher Program

The Child Care Voucher Program is in effect in many states throughout the United States. It provides a subsidy of up to 95 percent of childcare cost to low-income families. Subsidy recipients will choose an eligible provider from the list of licensed providers. They may also select a relative or an in-home provider. The Child Care Voucher Program covers the childcare from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. This is known as the traditional childcare period. However, the program also covers non-traditional times for parents who work odd shifts. It covers nights, weekends, and evenings.

A wide variety of options is available for low-income childcare. Many stay-at-home moms also run small day care businesses in which they discount their services. There is a way to make working and taking care of your children affordable.

Healing springs of Moscow and Moscow region * Moscow

When people talk about healing places, they first of all mean healing springs. Such sources, as a rule, are located in special places called biocenoses. Healing is not only the source and its water, the very place around the source is healing. These places are often called places of power. In ancient times, sick and weak people came to traditional healers, sorcerers, shamans here – here they received help, here they were healed. We will talk about some of these sources.

Holy spring St. Levkiy Volokolamsky

32 km from the city of Volokolamsk, near the village of Levkievo in the XV century. was Uspensky
Levkiev Monastery. Near the place where the monastery stood were two saints
wells, which, according to legend, were dug by St. Levkiem – residents of the village and
visiting pilgrims still draw water from these wells.

Holy spring St. Leukia of Volokolamsk

The founder of the monastery, who discovered these wells, Saint Leukia was a student of the famous monks, Saint Paphnutius of Borovsky and Saint Joseph of Volotsky. The time of the founding of the desert by the Monk Levkius can be determined from the life of the Monk Daniel of Pereyaslav. The Monk Daniel, upon entering the Borovsk Monastery in 1466, was entrusted by the Monk Paphnutius to Elder Levkius as an ascetic experienced in spiritual life.

In 1476, the elder and the disciple retired to the Volokolamsk region, where they lived together in the founded desert for another 2 years. After that, their paths parted, and it was then (in 1478) that the Monk Leukis founded the monastery. He became famous among the surrounding population for his feats of monastic life. The Monk Leukis died in extreme old age at the end of the 15th century. He was buried in the desert he founded. The monastery was destroyed first as a result of the Polish-Lithuanian invasion, and then under Soviet rule. But healing wells remained among the birches in this place of power – pilgrims drink water and heal in the biocenosis surrounding them.

The holy spring of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God

Sometimes healing springs are opened to ordinary people in places that are marked or, more precisely, as if marked with some sacred signs or objects. Near the village of Ilyinskoye, Dmitrovsky district, Moscow region, there is a source of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God. It was discovered somewhere else in the 19th century by an unknown peasant who dug a well in this place, “found the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God, which he took in his hands and saw how a wonderful spring began its life from under It. And to this day, according to the faith of people and the prayer of the Mother of God, water from the source heals mental and bodily ailments and diseases.

Holy spring of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

Some healing springs appear at the site of a bloody battle, such as near the village of Gridino on the banks of the Shuvoi River. It appeared during the Polish invasion in the 17th century. Here, on the bank of the river, Russian warriors entered into battle with one of the Polish detachments, and at the place of shed blood, the icon of the Kazan Mother of God appeared and hit three keys.

Residents of the village decided to build a temple in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.
They prepared timber for construction, but on the morning of the next day they found it on
dryer and higher coast. Thought it was a joke. Transferred to the old
place. But the next morning the same thing happened again. Then take it as
a clear indication of God about the place of construction of the temple. At the site of the appearance of the icon and
springs, over time, a chapel was built, but on the contrary, on the high bank of the river
in 1673 a wooden church was built. Early 1970s fontanelles tried
fall asleep, but the unfortunate fighters with religion did not succeed. Their technique for
the road to the holy place got bogged down so that they had to save themselves.

Local residents have great faith in the healing power that
spring water. And in all bodily, mental ailments, they rush to the source at any time of the year.

Krylatskoye Miracle spring

This spring, located in Krylatskoye, is the most famous of Moscow
got its name in honor of the list from the Rudny Icon of the Mother of God,
revealed here, according to legend, to the peasants of the village of Krylatsky near Moscow
hay time.

Spring “Krylatskoye Miracle”

In fact, the spring has been known since the 15th century, but it received special fame in
the end of the 19th century, going for haymaking
the peasants stumbled upon the icon of the Rudny Mother of God lying in the key. After
This spring became known as the “holy well”. Five of his keys are poured
transparent, like a tear, tasty and healing water.

Sergievsky (Cold) spring in Teply Stan

Many call this spring Kholodny, but some call it
Sergievsky, in honor of St. Sergius of Radonezh and because he
was on the way of pilgrims going from Moscow to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. legends
claim that this spring was dug by Tsar Ivan the Terrible himself. In our time over
a small chapel was built by the spring, and quite often
water prayers. The water in the spring is tasty, refreshing and, most importantly, healing.

HEALING SPRINGS | Rest on Baikal from Fanat Baikal

The Baikal region occupies a special place in Russia in terms of the number of healing springs that help restore and strengthen health. Here the healing spring is called arshan – “sacred water”. Now, about seventy thermal, thirty cold and hot carbon dioxide, as well as one hundred cold radon sources are known on the territory of the Baikal region. Having visited Baikal, you can not only have a good rest, but also replenish energy, improve the condition of the body, and strengthen your immunity.

“Arshan” in Buryat language means “healing spring”. This word comes from the Sanskrit “rashiani” – nectar, the drink of the gods. This was the name of a mineral or warm spring, which has a healing value. In the past, Buddhists attributed the property of arshan to some fresh water sources and, therefore, all springs with cold fresh, clean water began to be called arshans, giving them a healing value. This name of the sources is widespread in Mongolia, China, Central Asia, Altai and Eastern Siberia. There is a special attitude towards arshans – those places where mineral waters come to the surface are considered sacred, places of worship are built there, “obos”, prayers are held.

The story in this post will be about some of the most famous arshans in the Baikal region.

For several centuries people have been drinking water from the Zhebkhekhensky arshan (Kizhinginsky district), which has become a natural pearl of the Kizhinga valley, blessed by Buddhist deities. Two houses were built here with bathtubs installed inside them. The source treats diseases of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract and gynecological diseases. The place is also considered sacred.

Near the village of Ust-Orot there is a “wandering” arshan. Drying up in one place, he begins to beat in another.

16. Arshan Pandito Khambo XII Lama Itigelov

Consecrated by the lamas of the Ivolginsky datsan, the small Buddhist complex Ulzyta Dovoo is dedicated to Pandito Khambo Lama Itigelov. He was born in this area (Ivolginsky district). Now here, an arshan is beating out of the ground, a Buddhist stupa – suburgan – has been erected. Arshan water has a high content of silver. It is known that silver itself has a healing effect and is used in both traditional and modern medicine. This arshan is very helpful in the treatment of hypertension, skin diseases, allergies, liver diseases, diabetes mellitus, diseases of the eyes, hearing organs and many other diseases.

17. Yengorboysky arshan

There are thermal springs in the valley closed between two mountains Khurmasta and Khamar Daban (Zakamensky district). Almost all the bright flora of Zakamna is collected here. Clean mountain air, the smell of herbs and flowers on the slopes of the mountains and a lot of sun. The composition of 15 sources includes sodium sulfate, fluorine, silicic acid, radon, strontium, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, zinc and other useful elements. The temperature is relatively low +28 to +41°C. Drinking water from springs allows you to treat diseases of the heart, teeth, liver, thyroid gland, head injuries, inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, gynecological diseases. It is customary to honor the guardian spirit, the mistress of the area Huuhen Bumbei, who protects the arshan and blesses people for recovery.

HOW TO GET TO THE MINERAL SPRINGS OF THE BAIKAL REGION

Territorially, the mineral springs of the Baikal region can be conditionally divided into three groups – the arshans of the Tunkinskaya valley, the healing springs of the Northern Baikal region and the springs on the eastern side of Lake Baikal.

To get to the Tunkinskaya valley, where healing springs are located (resort Arshan, Zhemchug, Nilova hermitage, Shumak) , you can use the following way:

By car: (view the route) from Irkutsk to the exit along the Kultuksky tract and then, first along the federal highway M-55 and then along the A-164 highway through the settlements of Kultuk, Tibelti, Tory, Zun-Murino and then 182 km from Irkutsk, turn right from the federal highway and further through the picturesque pine forest you need to drive another 28 km. The distance from Irkutsk to the Arshan resort is 210 km along a good asphalt road. From Ulan-Ude, the distance to the Arshan resort is 479 km.

By bus: (view route) since November 2012, a regular bus runs from Irkutsk to Arshan. Departure from Irkutsk daily at 8.45 from the bus station (Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsii st., 11 stop Bus station, tram number 4). Travel time 5 hours. In the opposite direction, the bus leaves from Arshan at 10:30 am.

By fixed-route taxi: (view the route) departure point at the Irkutsk railway station (Chelnokova str., 1; telephone number 8-902-767-8618). Travel time 3.5 – 4 hours.

By train: (view route) Every day you can get from Irkutsk to Slyudyanka by train (departure time from Irkutsk-Passenger station is at 9:28. 3 hours You can travel from Slyudyanka to Arshan by regular bus departing at 13:00 From Arshan to Slyudyanka, a regular bus leaves at 7:30 and 15:20 The picturesque route Slyudyanka – Arshan is popular with cyclists coming from Irkutsk to Slyudyanka by train and then to Arshan and back making a 130 km journey through the Tunkinskaya valley on a bicycle. 0003

More details about the sights of these places can be found in the article about the Tunka Valley.

Healing springs of Shumak are the most inaccessible of the group of arshans of the Tunkinskaya valley and travelers have to walk through the mountain pass. Travel time takes two light days.

Separately located is a group of mineral springs in the Northern Baikal region (Cape Kotelnikovsky, Goudzhekit, Dzelinda, Khakusy) .

In summer, these springs can be reached by water on the Barguzin ship, which departs from the Raketa pier twice a week. Travel time from Irkutsk to Nizhneangarsk is 12 hours. More information about the route can be found here. Further, from Nizhneangarsk, any source can be reached in 20-40 minutes by regular shuttle transport.

In winter, get there by car along a specially fenced road (winter road) over the ice of Lake Baikal.

You can also get to northern Baikal by train from Irkutsk to Severobaikalsk on the direct carriage of train 087I, which departs daily. Travel time – 1.5 days. The schedule can be viewed here.

To the healing springs of the eastern coast of Lake Baikal (Zagza springs, Zmeinaya Bay, springs of the Barguzinskaya valley, springs near Ulan-Ude) can be reached in the summer by regular water transport from Irkutsk to Chivyrkuisky Bay and then by regular shuttle transport from Ust-Barguzin to selected sources.

By water transport: (view route)

Ust-Barguzin village can be reached from Irkutsk by boat Barguzin. This water route operates from July to August 20. Flight on Mondays – to Ust Barguzin and on Tuesdays – back to Irkutsk. Travel time – 11 hours.

But the most popular way to get around all the healing springs of the area is with your own or rented car. A detailed description of the automobile route and the sights of these places can be found here.

Which light is better – warm or cold

The history of lamps

Before the invention of electricity in the 19th century, only warm artificial light was known to man. The main sources of light were candles and kerosene lamps, which emitted light of warm shades (orange, yellow) and could only slightly illuminate the living quarters.

When the first incandescent lamps appeared, the light was still warm – this is due to their low illuminating power of these lamps, low power and color temperature up to 1000 kelvins (K). Warm light has long been used to illuminate living and working spaces, until the 20th century, when the fluorescent lamp was invented.

Fluorescent lamps produced cooler white light at the expense of high power. Such light began to be widely used in libraries, hospitals and industrial workshops. The fact is that white light, close to daylight, does not allow you to relax, promotes concentration and increases efficiency. Therefore, a person needs neutral and cold light sources for work. In addition, the resource of fluorescent lamps was 4-10 times higher than the energy resource of incandescent lamps.

Color temperature measurement

The shades of light (warm, cool) are called color temperature. Color temperature is measured in kelvins and is denoted by the letter “K”. The lower the color temperature, the warmer the light we see. If the color temperature is high, the light is cold. As a rule, luminaire manufacturers indicate the color temperature in kelvins on their products.

Light type Color temperature 9032

Different lamps can produce different color temperatures.

Almost all modern incandescent electric lamps fall into the “warm” range. Their color temperature ranges from 2100 to 3000 K. At the same time, the rule is that the higher the lamp power, the cooler the shade of light.

Halogen lamps shine in the range from 2500 to 3800 K. The light can be either warm or neutral, depending on the lamp power and operating mode, which is determined by the manufacturers. The light of halogen lamps is also affected by the temperature of the coil and the composition of the gas in the bulb.

Fluorescent lamps have a larger temperature range than the previous ones. So, they can be adjusted to different temperatures from 2700 to 6000 K. At present, fluorescent lamps of the neutral and cold spectrum are predominantly produced. Such lamps are still used in work areas: classrooms, offices, classrooms, libraries, medical institutions.

As for LED lamps, they can produce any color spectrum. LED lighting can even be infrared or ultraviolet. Manufacturers use different materials to make semiconductor crystals that make up LEDs. This makes it possible to design lamps with warm, cold or neutral light. The advantage of LEDs is not only high power and efficiency, but also that the color temperature can be adjusted. Such luminaires are much better suited for organizing lighting in work, commercial and residential areas.

Effect of color temperature on humans

Nowadays, both warm and cold and neutral light are widely used for lighting. Does the color temperature of light affect a person? How do humans perceive different types of light?

It is erroneously believed that very warm or too cold light affects human vision. In fact, color temperature does not affect eye health. A dim or flickering light can have a detrimental effect on a person. Reading or working with small objects in dim light causes the muscles of the eye to tense up, which can lead to the development of astigmatism or nearsightedness. Flickering light has a negative effect on the central nervous system. Excessive stress on the central nervous system under flickering lighting leads to increased fatigue, the development of headaches and even nausea. If the light source in the room is dim or flickering, it is more difficult for a person to concentrate. Therefore, an even and sufficiently powerful luminous flux is important for work.

Different types of light evoke different associations in our subconscious. So, for example, when we are in a room with warm lighting, we feel comfort and peace. Warm light creates an atmosphere of comfort and softness of the environment. In such rooms it is easier for a person to relax.

Cold light excites the nervous system and promotes concentration, increases efficiency and encourages vigorous activity. At the same time, cold light tires us faster than warm light, because it is difficult to stay focused and active for too long.

It is useful to know that with age the lens of the human eye turns yellow, so older people see everything in slightly warmer colors. Cold light saves the situation: it helps to neutralize yellowness, and warm shades of the environment are less noticeable in cold lighting.

The effect of neutral light on vision and the human nervous system is difficult to unequivocally assess as positive or negative. Daylight and the white shade of light are natural for perception, because it is to such light that man has adapted for thousands of years. This type of lighting is suitable for both work and leisure.

Use of warm light

Warm light is used in living areas such as bedrooms and living rooms. This type of lighting allows you to visually emphasize the warm shades of the color spectrum: cream, beige, yellow, peach, orange, red and brown. In addition, warm light is ideally combined with natural materials in the interior, such as wood, cotton, linen, brick and straw. It is good to use warm light in children’s rooms: it highlights the bright colors of toys.

Interior styles that suit warm light:

  • vintage;
  • Provence;
  • retro;
  • ethnic style.

Warm light is also suitable for public spaces, but not for everyone. It is best to use such lighting in bars and restaurants, in cafes. Warm shades encourage visitors to spend time calmly and relaxed in a public place, and increase confidence in the environment. Outdoor light sources can be warm in squares and parks, on alleys or boulevards. In such conditions, people will walk leisurely and look at nature with great pleasure.

Use of cold light

Cold light is recommended for use in work areas. Most of all, such lighting is suitable for offices, auditoriums, medical and educational institutions. In these rooms, it is important not to distort the perception of colors and individual elements, so it is much better to use lamps with a color temperature of 5000 – 6000 K.

In outdoor space, the use of cold light is relevant for lighting roads and highways, where a person needs a high concentration of attention.

In an apartment, neutral white or cold light can be used in the design of dressing tables and make-up areas, in offices.

In an interior, cold lighting will visually emphasize cool shades: light and dark gray, blue, blue, some shades of green. Cold lighting lamps are suitable for design solutions with a predominance of geometric shapes and angles. Metal surfaces will also look harmonious – for example, chrome, steel, silver.

Interior styles suitable for cold light:

  • modern;
  • Scandinavian style;
  • minimalism;
  • futurism.

Mixed lighting is more beneficial in the bathroom. The main light source should be warm to create a cozy atmosphere and make the bathroom feel like a warm room, while white or cold light is suitable for local lighting of the mirror area.

Thus, both cold and warm light sources can be used equally effectively in the interior of apartments. When choosing a lamp, you should focus on its type. It is important to remember that incandescent lamps produce predominantly warm light, but often have relatively low wattage. If a large room needs to be illuminated with warm light, it is better to choose several less powerful incandescent lamps.

Energy-saving lamps are not always only white or cold – today manufacturers make their lighting warm as well. The color temperature is often indicated on the packaging of the lamps as a separate characteristic.

Modern LED lighting suitable for any environment: work, residential, commercial and outdoor spaces. These lamps will last 50 times longer than classic incandescent lamps, provide low energy consumption, and new models will allow you to adjust the temperature of the light. LEDs will help save money and will not let you down during long-term use. They do not flicker, do not distort the reproduction of colors and are not dull. No need to worry about wiring, because LED lighting eliminates stress on conductive elements. The choice of LED lighting is the most profitable solution for interior and exterior design.

Cold Dags of 2020. Sakhalin.Info

09:21 April 10, 2020.

Kirill Yasko

Tourism, Weekly, Nogliki

The Sakhalin Dagin thermal springs, which underwent a global reconstruction at the beginning of this year, never reached the previous temperature – the danger of such a development of events was warned in January at the Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Residents of the Nogliki district told Sakh.com news agency that by the beginning of April, only two out of six sources had returned to “pre-reconstruction” temperature parameters. First of all, this is the popular “Patriot (39. 4 degrees) and “Partizan” (40.1), but in “Aleksandrovsky”, “Central” and “Molodist” temperatures still remain significantly lower than the previous values: within 33, 28 and 33 Celsius. On April 3, when these temperatures were recorded, the “Dream” source was closed “with a shovel”, its condition was described by residents monitoring the situation in Dagah quite aphoristically: “cold and shallow, only cats need to wash something.”

The Noglik administration hopes that it will be possible to correct the situation in the sources in the summer – during the second stage of work on their reconstruction.

Mining electrical engineer and mining technologist Rauf Samitov contacted the editorial office of Sakh.com news agency. He lived in Goryachie Klyuchi (a village near the Daghinsky springs), worked at the springs a few years ago, and in December 2019 he arrived in Nogliki and personally observed the progress of the reconstruction work. In his letter, he described in detail the mistakes that, in his opinion, led to problems with the temperature regime of the sources.

A Sakh.com correspondent read this multi-page message and extracted from it the main ideas, thoughts and recommendations for each of the sources.

“Youth”

The spring became much colder after reconstruction. The reason is that in the course of work, the walls of the font were removed, which retained groundwater, which filled the rocks that make up the earth in the Dags. In the long term, the absence of walls can lead to another problem – when the ground thaws, the soil will begin to fall into the font, at best, simply making the water muddy and dirty. Previously, all the same walls worked as protection against this, but now there is nothing like it – a metal font with holes made for water circulation is simply lowered into the dug hole. In addition, the brook flowing from the hillock directly into it does not add heat to the source – its temperature is about 11-15 degrees. According to Samitov, this is a discharge from the septic tank of the village of Goryachiye Klyuchi, located next to the springs.

The second problem is the shallow water depth. It is only 50-60 centimeters instead of the 110-120 planned by the project. This happened due to the fact that the pontoons on which the structure rests were not buried to the water level. In addition, by mid-February, the deformation of the structure began – the bath was kicked out of the ground by about 5 centimeters. This, most likely, happened because the bath has already reached the bottom of the dug hole and can no longer descend, and the domed building itself surrounding the font continues its slow subsidence. In the future, Samitov does not exclude, the same fate may await other sources built according to identical projects.

At the same time, all residents admit that the reconstruction only benefited the appearance of Molodist – from an inconspicuous house covered in tarpaulin and film, it turned into a beautiful dome. The fact that for some reason the builders placed the entrance to the pavilion on the opposite side from the stairs, and the door to the vestibule does not open due to the formation of frost, in these circumstances can be neglected.

“Dream”

This source basically has the same problems as Molodist, except that the septic tank does not drain. The font of the spring, in fact, now stands in a cold lake, and a warm spring simply cannot warm up such a volume of water. The enclosing wall was removed to the delight of the duck, which now swims nearby all winter. The bathtub was installed here as the last one, as the builders tried to go deep into the ground, but they did not succeed – the sand simply covered the pit and the source itself.

Another trouble is the stairs leading to the font. It is installed in a place not provided for by the project. In the right one, despite all efforts, it was not possible to safely mount it, the risk of “rolling” along the ground into the lake remained. Apparently, they did not finish the surveys – they were carried out by the same company that conducted the work. Also, already a month after the installation of the pavilion, it began to warp – one side was installed on a harder shore, and the other on piled dirt. When the pontoons were installed, the soil around the source was frozen and held, but when it was covered, it began to thaw, which led to structural movements. Also, due to the fact that the platform of the font rests on the ground only at the edges, and in the middle it hangs over the pit, the floor beams began to sag under their own weight and the weight of the structure and floats.

As on Molodist, the font is already sticking out of the floor – but not by 5 centimeters, but by 10-15.

“Aleksandrovsky”

The source at the beginning of the 2000s was equipped by an enterprising resident from Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinsky and gave it its name. Walls were erected in this source, which prevented the collapse of the soil and cut off the access of ground and surface water. Everything was done on the basis of personal experience and with the expectation of the real possibilities of heating the house itself with a source. This gave results, and the water temperature reached 44 degrees.

On the ground, this spring is located not far from the recently completed road, and now all the water flowing along it goes through this source. They did not make bypass ditches around the font, but simply dug a hole into which groundwater also went from the nearby forest. The pontoons along the edges of the platform stand on a beam and boards placed at the back to level the floor. In the middle, the pontoons do not rest on anything, but simply hang, warping the entire flimsy structure with their weight – now it is not possible to fully open the front door, it is skewed and catches the floor. What will happen in the spring, when this beam falls into the ground under the weight of the font, is not difficult to guess.

The font of this source also began to “squeeze out” upwards, although it would be more correct to say that it remained in place, and the house began to sink. According to the results of the reconstruction, this source was less fortunate – groundwater from the forest poured into it, and its temperature dropped sharply.

“Central”

Initially, this place was only a pit covered with construction cellophane, so everything that happened to the source during the reconstruction is a big step forward in terms of appearance. But for more than 46 million spent on reconstruction, in addition to gloss on the outside, you expect something good inside. The general set of problems is the same, but they can be supplemented by a misfortune with a warp of the front door to the font and ice sticking to the end of the outer door in severe frosts, which is why it simply does not close. The water is cold and the water level is the lowest, so the bench is almost sticking out of the water.

Partizan

This source is lucky – it’s warm here. The bath was installed almost above the very outlet of the source – this can be seen from the rising bubbles. The temperature of the water in the depth is quite high and even burns the legs, but little reaches the surface, including due to the fact that some of it goes outside. Nevertheless, the legs have to be removed to the side from the hot metal in order not to get burned, the rug at the bottom was not provided. The thermometer shows about 40-41 degrees near the surface. The temperature of the source is enough to thaw the doors from frost and ice. But inside is a real drop.

This source clearly shows that the bath design was chosen incorrectly. Due to the constant mixing of silt under the bottom of the font, all this dirt comes up. At the bottom, in the corners, under the stairs and the bench, there is 15 centimeters of silt, in addition, large fragments of peat that have not been removed begin to clog the drainage holes and hot water flows along the outer part of the walls. In the future, this problem will also await other sources: when the holes in the metal bottom become clogged and water flows into the street, the temperature will drop even more. In Partizan, the water level from the bottom to the surface is the highest of all sources, but still not the same as it should be even according to the project.

“Patriot”

Before the reconstruction, in its place was the largest and most equipped house, which was even sheathed with siding. Even before the work was carried out in the fall of 2019, the source pit was fenced with 60 cm iron sheets, which were installed at the beginning of the 2000s. They prevented the penetration of ground and surface water, thereby raising the temperature of the source and protecting it from silt and dirt.

Now these sheets were used to install the “foundation” of the pavilion with a bath. Plastic pontoons-floats save wooden spacer boards from cutting with iron. The still frozen soil holds the font – it will be able to maintain its shape, but as spring comes, the entire weight of the structure will fall on these sheets, and it is not clear how long they will be able to resist the weight of the structure. But if something happens to the wooden bars, then the entire weight of the structure will fall on the metal, the pontoons will be cut and the whole structure will be severely skewed. Metal had to be taken out of the ground during construction, as was done with other sources where wooden walls were dismantled, but this did not happen. It does not really help to retain heat – their borders simply go outside the source, so warm water is actively cooled by cold air and polluted with garbage from the street. Before installing the pontoons, it was necessary to dig out a drain for outgoing warm water, dig a hole in the font to divert ground and seasonal surface water, but nothing was done.

Samitov himself has already managed to help the source a little – he dug drainage ditches so that surface and ground water would leave, as a result of which the water level dropped by 15 centimeters, and also covered the open corner of the metal box with a bar and cloth. Because of this, the temperature of the source began to rise. Another problem is that old boards and garbage were not properly removed from the source, a metal bath was simply lowered onto all this rubbish that had come up from the broken house. Boards can be felt by sticking a finger under the metal bottom through the drainage holes. Also, the water of the source throws silt into the font, which settles to the bottom of the bath and is not washed out.

As a result, the source warmed up to 39-40 degrees and people began to visit it, but when the temperature rises and even more active snow melts, all the water may end up in the source, which will affect both the temperature and the quality of the water as such. Nevertheless, now “Patriot” remains one of the two “living sources” in the full sense.

***

In addition to the specific problems of each source, there are several general points that are characteristic of all objects. First of all, these are constructive solutions that underlie all installed fonts – metal baths do not provide the necessary protection against cold water, do not prevent the walls of the fonts from collapsing and create a threat that sooner or later the fonts will simply become clogged with pieces of peat or garbage. To do this, it is necessary to completely change what has been done – to place larch log cabins-wells in the center of the pavilions and deepen the baths to a more comfortable depth. It is necessary to clean them from peat and get to the sandy base – then both the temperature and the quality of the water will increase significantly.

There are complaints about the manufacturing technology of fonts – holes with sharp edges have been made in them, which visitors have already cut themselves against. In addition, a not very large finger may get stuck in them – for example, a child’s.

The construction waste remaining on the territory also raises questions – the fragments of old houses or makeshift “shelters” over the sources were not properly disposed of, leaving a part right on the spot. There are concerns about the organization of power supply sources – for this, a household network with a voltage of 220 volts is used. Given the high humidity and aggressive chemical composition of water, as well as the not always high quality of insulation, grounding and wire connections, there is a risk that one of the visitors may suffer from electric shock. To prevent this, part of the network will have to be shifted using solutions more suitable for a humid climate, and part will be completely dismantled, replaced with safer low-current solutions – this is enough for LED lighting.

Another serious problem is the typical domes-baths erected over each source. They work like giant coolers, taking heat from the source and dissipating it. The small makeshift houses that stood here before, even though they looked worse, at least helped to maintain the temperature.

Finally, it is already clear today that the Dagas need to be looked after – even in the past months of winter, some sources found underwear and other things abandoned by vacationers. In the high season, this problem will become even more acute – there will be more people, more garbage and trouble. How and who will control visits to sources is still unclear. The project provides for the placement of an administrative building where staff can be located. But how it will be paid for and how much it will cost to visit the sources in this case is also a question.

– We can say that the reconstruction at this stage has definitely not justified itself: out of six sources, only two are used. With competent design and more responsible control of execution, it would be possible to avoid unnecessary noise and the formation of a negative background. Many who visited the updated sources are now no longer ready to come here again. It is possible that minor shortcomings can be eliminated at the second stage, but the fundamental problems will not go anywhere. It is necessary to take the drastic measures described above. The development of tourism in the Nogliki region depends on the success of the reconstruction of these sources. If there is a flow of guests, then at the expense of it it is possible to develop infrastructure, create new forms of business – food, accommodation, transport, promote new directions. Now it’s up in the air again,” concludes Rauf Samitov.

Healing water. What are the benefits of hot springs in the Krasnodar Territory? | SOCIETY

You can’t swim in the sea in winter, but there are places in the Krasnodar Territory where you can swim even when it’s cold. Thermal springs in the cold season are in great demand. Mostovsky, Otradnensky, Labinsk districts – everywhere you can find a therapeutic pool. Rest in such places is good for health.

For health and mood

The first resorts on the territory of the Krasnodar Territory appeared 150 years ago. In the 20th century, the region became a major all-Union health resort. Today Kuban is a leader in the domestic tourism market. According to the regional Ministry of Tourism, almost 30% of the tourist flow has recently been formed in the off-season.

One of the main assets of our region is thermal springs. There are about fifty of them in total. Most are located in the Mostovsky district.

“Every year we go swimming in the winter. Feelings can not be conveyed! When it’s cold, diving into hot water is just a delight, – Anastasia Panchenko from Krasnodar shares her impressions. – If it’s hard to be in thermal water all day, you can take a walk around the neighborhood. In the foothills you can ride horses, go down the mountain river.

Recreation centers with thermal pools in the foothill areas are not inferior in quality of services to the health resorts of the large resorts of the region. For example, vacationers can take mineral baths without even leaving their room. There are thermal water parks, hydromassage guns, rocky bottom foot pools, many spa treatments, including contactless hydromassage, pearl and ozone baths, collagenarium, halochamber, salt treatments.

Thermal springs are one of the main treasures of the Krasnodar Territory.

A thermal spring differs from an ordinary reservoir in the content of chemical elements that have the main therapeutic effect: bromine, iodine, sodium, magnesium and calcium. Bathing in healing water has a beneficial effect on the state of the nervous system, the functioning of the genitourinary organs, metabolism, the respiratory and motor systems, tones the heart muscle and vascular walls, improves the condition of the skin and restores shine to the hair. And, finally, they give a lot of joyful emotions.

Mineral geyser

In 1959, exploration work was carried out near the city of Labinsk in search of oil. While drilling a well, a geyser of hot water hit instead of oil. At first, curious residents went just to look at the “natural fountain”, and then they began to take mud baths there, and all year round. The water warmed and healed sore joints. So the sources became known throughout the Krasnodar Territory, and then in Russia.

Two deposits of mineral waters have been discovered in the Labinsk district, respectively, there are two pump rooms. In terms of mineralization and salt composition, it is similar to the mineral water of the famous resort of Baden-Baden. According to the content of biologically active components, it belongs to boron, siliceous, iodine mineral waters. Waters of this composition are used in the treatment of skin diseases, traumatic injuries of bones and muscles, as well as diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

The pools are supplied with water from a well 2500 meters deep, so there is no doubt about its purity. And these places are one of the most ecologically clean corners of the region.

You can stay at the sanatorium “Laba”, the recreation center “Tavush”, etc. The complexes have large pools with healing water, as well as slides for children and adults.

After having improved their health, fans of extreme sports can raft down the Laba river. Rafting is very popular in these places. And those who prefer a relaxing holiday can take a walk along it, looking at parts of the former Meotian settlements on the shore.

In winter in a bathing suit!

Mostovsky district – one of the most picturesque places in the Kuban. It is located in the southeast of the Krasnodar Territory. Most of the territory of the region is included in the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve. The unique nature, climate and historical and archaeological monuments – all this attracts tourists. And here, the first hot thermal springs with mineral water were discovered in the region.

The water rises from a depth of up to 2,600 meters and reaches a temperature of over 80 degrees. Many vacationers prefer to come here in winter to swim in warm mineral water against the backdrop of snowy beauty. The hot liquid makes its way through the ground to the outside. The temperature in the open baths is different – from 20 to 100 degrees. Here you can walk in a swimsuit even in winter!

Guests can choose from comfortable recreation centers with thermal pools that operate all year round.

Those who have tried all the delights of the springs say that their sleep and appetite have normalized, their skin tone has improved, and they even managed to lose a few extra pounds.

In addition to the therapeutic bath in the thermal water, you can take an active vacation: rent bicycles or quad bikes, go fishing or go on an excursion in the surroundings.

There are many places for accommodation in the area: Silicon Thermae, Rasputin, Golden Key, Golden Fish, Aqua Vita, Aqua Tonika, Aphrodite, Emerald, Cordon, “Pearl of the Foothills”, “Old Mill”, “Khutorok” and others.

Not entertainment, but treatment

There is a deposit of iodine-bromine mineral waters on the territory of the Belorechensky district. It is used for diseases of the skin, nervous, genitourinary, musculoskeletal systems and connective tissue.

In the pools, the water temperature is 40 degrees, here it is cooled, as the liquid comes from the source at 70 degrees. The composition of the water is truly impressive. Almost the entire periodic table fit in there.

People come to the thermal spring Kuban mainly not to have fun, as to other thermal baths of the region, but to be treated. Even on the approaches to the water you can feel the unpleasant smell of creosote. And the smell in the pool is about the same. Therefore, for swimming, it is better to take old unnecessary things and a swimsuit. You can take baths no longer than 15-20 minutes. Thanks to the mild climate, bathing in thermal springs is possible at any time of the year.

You can find swimming pools with healing water in the Terme centre. Travelers love these places also for the unique nature. Ideal places for walking in Belorechensk are easy to find. The city is replete with beautiful parks, secluded squares, natural spaces and areas for children’s outdoor recreation.

And what kind of air is there!

Another foothill corner of the Kuban with beautiful nature – Otradnensky district. There are picturesque forests and meadows where many medicinal herbs grow, as well as many mineral and geothermal waters of different chemical composition. For their magical effect, people from all over the country go. After bathing, the feeling is as if reborn, and breathe deeply.

One of the largest recreation centers in the area – “Thermopark”.

In addition to water procedures, here you can also engage in active recreation, visit beautiful places: caves, waterfalls, rivers, cliffs, viewing platforms, hollows. And what is the air here!

Fifty available terms in the region – this figure is not final. The study of the earth’s interior is underway, so it is likely that there will be more hot springs in the future.

Description of the natural monument “Cold mineral springs White Waterfalls”

The regional hydrological natural monument “Cold mineral springs White Waterfalls”, created in 1981, is located on the territory of the Ust-Bolsheretsky municipal district of the Kamchatka Territory, 10 kilometers south of the village of Pauzhetka – on the outer slope of the central crater of the active volcano Koshelev (volcano height 1812 meters above sea level).

The monument of nature is a group of cold mineral springs gushing from cracks on a small terrace on the slope of the Koshelev volcano. Merging, the jets form two streams that fall from a height of 20 meters: the western stream – from a steep cliff, the eastern one – in a cascade along a stepped channel. These two streams form the right source of the Left Pauzhetka River.

The famous Kamchatka ethnographer and tourist V. I. Semenov, who first visited the White Falls in 1968, describes them in several of his publications: in the brochure “Around Kamchatka. Journey through the southern volcanoes and hot springs “(M., 1983), in the books “On volcanoes and hot springs of Kamchatka” (Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, 1988), “In the land of hot springs” (Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, 1988), “Kamchatka is a healing land” (co-authored with V. A. Lodis ; Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, 1993). One of the most complete descriptions is contained in his book “In the land of hot springs”:

“…Pushing through the thickets, I got to the edge of some gorge and froze, amazed by the spectacle that opened up. A completely white stream of water fell from a black sheer cliff. It was almost unbelievable, amazingly beautiful …

…These were cold springs located on the outer slope of the central crater of the Koshelev volcano. Apparently, surface waters, seeping through the loose rocks that make up the bottom of the crater, penetrate into the deep layers, although already cooled, but rich in minerals, are saturated with them and come out again to the surface at the northern foot of the volcano . ..

At the very exit from the earth, transparent water literally begins to turn white before our eyes, acquiring the color and opacity of highly diluted milk. The beds of streams begin to be covered with a white coating. Dozens of fountains and hundreds of streams are also knocked out on a cliff on both sides of the waterfalls, increasing their power and the width of the painted area. Splashes and mist scatter on the sides, covering the black rocks as white as snow, and the streams of whitish water, falling from ledge to ledge, seem like a moving white veil. The bottom of a turbulent river is also covered with a white coating with a brownish tint, but gradually downstream this color disappears.

The water temperature at the exit points is 4.2°C. Its taste is slightly astringent. The precipitate consists of 60% alumina, 40% of iron compounds and other substances. At depth, under high pressure, these compounds are in a dissolved state, but when they reach the surface, the pressure drops sharply to atmospheric pressure, the solubility drops sharply, and alumina precipitates as a white precipitate. And iron compounds are first oxidized by atmospheric oxygen and only later, falling out in the form of a brown precipitate, tint the white precipitate in a brownish tone” [4, p. 31–32].

The border of the natural monument “Cold mineral springs White Waterfalls” runs along the streams that form the White Waterfalls, at a distance of 25 meters from the stream beds; the upper limit is 50 meters above the outlet of mineral waters, the lower one is 150 meters from the sources.

The boundary of the buffer zone runs at a distance of 50 meters from the stream beds; the upper and lower boundaries of the buffer zone coincide with the upper and lower boundaries of the natural monument itself.
