This mountain is not only a unique natural object as it has no any growing flora, but also it is another monument of Stalingrad.
In the crucial battle the hill of 140,6 m, as it was called that time, was an important strategic object, a second Mamaev Hill. The view of the city’s southern part was opened from that point. The fiercest battles were taken place there. A lot of mines and shell splinters, and other iron reminders of the war. In memory of the fallen in that battle, a 20-meter obelisk was installed on the Lysaya Gora.
