The Lyubertsy district of the Moscow region is known to many thanks to its picturesque careers, which are a great place for swimming. Dzerzhinsky quarry is very picturesque - steep sandy beaches, pine forest, attractive blue water, gently sloping wide beaches and comfortable swimming areas.
The length of the quarry from west to east is more than 1 km, and the width reaches 500 m. The Dzerzhinsky quarry was formed on the site of a wide foundation pit, which was gradually filled with
groundwater. It is adjacent to one of the areas of the city, built up not so long ago. The clear water of a beautiful turquoise hue attracts many vacationers and residents of nearby houses to spend time on the beach and enjoy the beauty of nature. In this regard, the northern coast of the quarry, which is a steep sandy cliff covered with a pine forest, is very picturesque and attractive.

The city also has an interesting attraction, protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site - this is the Jerusalem, or Palestinian, Wall.
