Ogarkovo. Part 3

On the satellite map, this place looks like a field and you can walk through it along the trail. When I went, I saw a dugout. And then another one and another...

There's just a bunch of dugouts here! In the literal sense of the word, there are many heaps in which the entrance is made.

It turns out that in the valley of a small stream, people have made vegetable storages here!

I felt that there was something special in Ogarkovo and I was not mistaken.

This type of dugout is most interesting to me in terms of documentating, as it is the least preserved and rarely encountered.

And such dugouts are the most difficult to detect on a satellite map, since from above they look like just the ground.

It remains only to predict their location.

But it is these dugouts that are all closed, and the passage to many has been cleared.

So they are all still being used for their intended purpose.

I immediately wanted to visit here in the snowless season and during the day.

A bridge crosses the stream in one place.

Judging by the size of the mounds, the dugouts are quite roomy.

It's a pity, but then impassable bushes began...apparently there are abandoned dugouts after all.

Interestingly, mounds for dugouts of artificial origin or vegetable storages are dug in natural relief?

Dugouts with a triangular superstructure-entrance also look interesting.

Due to the snow and steep slope, as well as impassable bushes, I was not able to capture a lot of dugouts.

And on the other side of the stream, private garages began.

These are no longer dugouts, but clearly no one puts cars or other equipment here.

I tried to walk on the other side of the stream and try to capture those abandoned vegetable stores, but I didn't succeed.

I managed to find a crossing over a stream and photograph the last dugout in the whole string.

But I was still drawn to look at those abandoned dugouts and I walked through the garages to the steep bank of the stream.

And stray dogs ran out from under me, that is, from one of the abandoned dugouts.

I had to leave the dangerous place immediately. Who knows how many of them are still there...
Ogarkovo was just very pleased with the presence of so many dugouts.

Sort:  

I see some advantages to this kind of habitat for living in and not only for storage. Very cheap to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

What country are these in?

In Russia

Russians and Canadians should be friends because we understand how to live in the same cold and desolate climate.
