Tsar-Fish Viewpoint
Смотровая площадка «Царь-рыба»
A viewpoint on the high bank of the Yenisei River, named after Astafyev’s novel “The Tsar-Fish.” A giant sturgeon sculpture stands here, overlooking the winding river.
The viewpoint lies beside the road to Divnogorsk, near the village of Sliznevo, about 25 km from the city. A giant metal sturgeon sculpture stands on the platform, honoring writer Viktor Astafyev and his acclaimed novel The Tsar-Fish. From here, you can see the Yenisei River winding between the mountains, with conifer forests stretching across the opposite bank. It is a photo stop on many day-trip routes. Admission is free, and there is a parking lot. Roads may be icy in winter, so take care.
