Balaklava Underground Museum Complex. Exit.

No matter how long our journey lasted, it inevitably came to an end. As was clear from all the diagrams, the exit is not where the entrance is.

Initial report: Balaklava Underground Museum Complex. Entrance.

Previous report: Balaklava Underground Museum Complex. Nuclear Arsenal Zone.

We’re bringing back the audio guide. By the way, they’re available in both English and Chinese.

And we go out into a very spacious hall

on the right side of which is a huge souvenir shop with shelves full of various goods,

including a headdress named after this region – balalklava.

From here you can send a postcard to friends and acquaintances.

Having received a farewell message

Text: Strictly keep military and state secrets.

We exit through a door that is the same as the entrance door, but with the addition of an arched emergency exit.

It is very clearly marked in the diagram of the previous post.

And here it is—the light at the end of the tunnel!

On the right hand side there are the previously seen interactive stands with flags, and on the left there is an interesting exhibit.

However, the exhibits did not end there; they are also outside.

This is a German generator

and a rescue bell.

Further under the overhead crane and past, quite possibly, already in-demand amenities

by temporary transitions

past the familiar entrance

to an equally familiar minibus.

Well, the promised time has come to reveal the secret of where I got the photos of the site from afar.

Long ago, a fortress was built at the entrance to Balaklava Bay. This is how its ruins appear from the complex.

This is how the bay looks from the fortress.

One day, but after my visit to this complex, I got to these ruins.

There’s not much left, but it’s interesting to see.

A very worthy location to visit.
