First World War 1914-1918, interesting place
Remains of historical Russian military testing area(World War I times), where one of the largest battle tanks in history(called Czar-Tank because of the size) has been tested. This tank has been designed by Russian military designer Lebedenko. Tank was powered by two German (taken from downed Zeppelin) engines and was armed with 2 guns on turret and a number of machine guns. Tests has been considered unsuccessful, and the tank was leaved in the forest.
This area has been examined in 2003-05 by Russian Kosmopoisk research organization, and was a place for several all-Russian tourist camps
