Here, on the site of the Summer Lumbovskogo churchyard, from which, unfortunately, there is nothing left, settled a military training ground. The landfill occupies the entire territory Lumbovskogo Bay with island Large Lumbovsky. Here, military pilots are trained in combat shooting. For this purpose, the center of the bay at the same distance are two old ship and on the island a few more targets on which the pilots cause fire strikes of all the instruments of their aircraft. With three observation points along the perimeter of the bay, reported hit in the target, after which the pilots returned to their bases on the mainland. In most Lumbovka there is an airport for helicopters. Military serving landfill devote free time hunting deer and fishing for salmon, which is not like us having a fishing camp for foreigners, which is located about ten kilometers upriver from the mouth of Lumbovka. However, a compromise is found as helicopters to foreign customers often refueled at the landfill.
