Blizhnie Dubki Park preserves the park layout established in 1745 alongside a wooden palace. It also features old deciduous trees, mostly oaks. The park is designated a cultural heritage site of regional significance. The U Lukomorya ecological trail also passes through it. The preserved estate and the trail offer different perspectives: historic landscape design and environmental education. If you plan to follow the trail, check the current access conditions in advance.

The monument commemorates the Little Road of Life. It depicts a soldier in a greatcoat standing on a granite plinth, using a lantern to guide vehicles along an ice road. The dates distinguish the memorial from the historic route: the monument was erected on April 14, 2015, and unveiled on May 8, 2015.

The Little Road of Life began operating in November 1941. Its starting area was near the settlements of Lisy Nos and Gorskaya; it remained in operation until the siege of Leningrad was lifted in January 1944. The monument thus links a specific depiction to the wartime route’s timeline, while the two sets of dates serve different purposes: one marks the monument’s erection and unveiling, the other the route’s historic period of operation.

The newly built Church of Prince Vladimir was solemnly consecrated on July 28, 1917. Another architectural example is the building of the powder magazines and laboratories: it is part of the Kronstadt Fortress fortification complex, is topped with a pediment, and is richly decorated in the “brick style.”

The wooden architecture can also be distinguished by several specific details. The wooden house of P. A. Yuzakina retains carved window frames and a carved cornice. The veranda has a barrel-vaulted roof and two carved columns; inside are stoves clad in white tiles. The dacha at 3 Kholmistaya Street is designated a cultural heritage site of regional significance.

The Lisy Nos Library is housed in an early 20th-century wooden building at the corner of Baltijski and Mariinski Avenues. The house was built in 1910 by merchant J. E. Kruglov for his family. The library offers activities for all age groups, including local history, one of its popular topics. As no regular schedule is provided, it is advisable to check for current event information before your trip.

Verperluda Island is part of the territory of the Lisiy Nos municipal entity. This designation refers to the municipality, not just the settlement of Lisy Nos. The island is an important nesting site for waterbirds, including gulls, tufted ducks, mallards, great crested grebes, and Eurasian coots. This adds a nature perspective at the municipal level to the themes of parks and buildings. If you include the birdlife in your travel plans, distinguish the island’s administrative affiliation from the buildings located in Lisy Nos itself.
