There are many similar leaning towers in the world. But this one started up leaninig nearly from the foundation. The tower was built up in the beginnning of 17 century. But the landlord ordered to finish it-he was extremly reach and persistent. Nearly the whole industrial region of Mid Ural with all mines, iron and copper foundries and plants belonged to him. Including this place and the whole tiwn of Nevyansk. In order to continue the constructiin of the tower there was necessary to find out the original engineering solutions for to prevent the tower of collapsing. And these solutions and invetions were found by the ordinary craftmen. We do not know there names. They were just serfs/slaves. But the most known building fastening unit: bolt-washer-nut was for the first time in world used in the tower. The nut and the bolt were with square-like head and not with hexagon head as all modern bolts&nuts. But nontheless.... And all of them still at their place. All of them regularly being checked with modern dyagnostic devices and methods. Safery first! But nothing wrong with the medieval bolts-washers-nuts! The first ever prototype of the reinforced iron or to be exact iron-cast iron was also invented and used there. These bars still hold together the whole tower. And againg... safety first... the laboratories regularly check the bars... the labs confess that they’ll serve for another couple of hundred centuries! Facinating constructiin!!!

The ferris wheel on Mount Akhun in Sochi is located at an altitude of 701 meters above sea level. Such a mark reaches the highest point of the attraction on Mount Akhun. The attraction is located just a few meters from the tower Akhun and became the highest point of view of the panorama of the city. From the top you have a magnificent view of the sea, the center of Sochi, the Imerytinsky Valley and the Olympic venues, as well as the mountains of the Main Caucasian Range.

Ostankino TV tower - the highest point in Moscow. From viewing platforms open most brilliant panoramic views of the capital. From a vantage point 337 meters of the capital lies at a glance: Here Lomonosov Moscow State University University, Christ the Savior Cathedral, the Kremlin towers, the complex "Moscow City". Afternoon - the best time to make a photographic miniatures of the city, take a walk on the glass floor and try out our binoculars and telescopes. In the evening, you can leisurely look at the bizarre shapes of the city lights, sitting in a high-altitude restaurant "Seventh Heaven", which rotates around its axis. It is interesting to walk around the tower. In addition to the beautiful "Ostankino" Museum-Estate with park and ancient palaces, here it is worthy of attention "Exhibition of Economic Achievements." Ostankino Tower is among the ten highest free-standing buildings of the world. Today it is not only unique in the signal power radio and television transmitting station, and meteorological observatory, a giant lightning rod, and, of course, one of the most recognizable symbols of Moscow. From an architectural point of view it is a flower that grows out of the heavens. It is weighty "petals" on the ground, holding a thick but relatively easy "stem." This is a very bold in its design structure: the base of the tower - only 4.6 meters deep. At the same time its height - 540 meters. The real revolution in the construction of high-rise! At the time of opening in 1967 it was the tallest building in the world and held this position for 10 years. Climbing the legendary tower already made tens of millions of people.

Once you get to the highest available floor for visitors (hight: 337 m), you can have a very good view over the Moscow city. I guess a sunny day would be the best time to visit this place. Looking down the glass floor is the best, kind of scary experience you might have there. .... Two successive security check at the entrance (just like the airports) is too much!

PANORAMA360 is the highest observation deck in Europe located on the 89th floor of the Federation Tower of Moscow City. PANORAMA360 is a full member of the World Federation of Great Towers. There are many entertainment zones on the observation deck which are unique. For example, highest ice-cream and chocolate factories in the world, an interactive tablet served as a guide with augmented reality (available in Russian, English and Chinese), 3D-quest and amazing 360-degree panoramic view of Moscow. There is also a restaurant, a mini-cinema and a gift shop.
