⛲ Lower Park from the "back entrance": Marly, the Hermitage Pavilion, Monplaisir

⏱ 3–4 h · 🚶 ~8.5 km · easy

We enter the Lower Park from the quiet western side and walk against the tourist flow: Marly's fish ponds, the dining room with a rising table, Peter's little house and the Samson Fountain.

Stops

1. Marly Palace — Peter's modest 'little cube' between the ponds, where fish were called to feed by a bell.
2. Hermitage Pavilion — A dining room for the select few: the table was raised from the kitchen straight up to the guests.
3. Monplaisir — Peter's favourite little house right by the water — like a ship ready to set sail.
4. Grand Cascade and Samson Fountain — A monument to the victory over Sweden. Works without a single pump.
5. Lower Park — Two and a half kilometers along the gulf — the main park of Peterhof.
