Belief in miracles in a person is indestructible, because everyone has their own dreams, however, they do not always come true. And while some make a lot of effort and turn a dream into a goal that they long and hard to achieve, others are looking for magical places where desires come true. Travelers head to the Greenwich Prime Meridian in London or the Trevi Fountain in Rome. But there are similar places in Russia.

Ural zero kilometer

In Yekaterinburg, the sign of the initial kilometer is located next to the Main Post Office and, in the opinion of the residents and travelers themselves, it has the power to make wishes come true. You need to stand on the star in the center of the sign, throw a coin over your shoulder and make a wish. If you want to start life from scratch, then you have to stand on the star with your back to the east and turn clockwise three times without fail.

Menhirs

Mysterious huge stone slabs standing vertically in the middle of the steppe in the Askiz region of Khakassia, according to many travelers, are also capable of fulfilling the most cherished dreams. Girls who dream of knowing the happiness of motherhood come to Ulus-Khurtuyakh-Tas with the image of a female figure. Legends say that he is able to heal from infertility. However, other menhirs are equally powerful. You can choose any stone and go around it three times clockwise, making a wish, and then touch the menhir, drawing in your imagination a picture of your dream come true.

Bank Bridge in St. Petersburg

Those who want to attract luck and financial success come to this bridge on the embankment of the Griboyedov Canal. To do this, you need to leave a coin at the cast-iron paw of any of the four statues of winged lions. A simple ritual will help to fulfill any cherished desire: you just need to stroke the griffin on the golden wing.

Mount Svetelka in the Samara region

Being on this mountain, from where a stunning view of the Usolsko-Komarovskaya plain opens up, you can simply make a wish, but a somewhat time-consuming ritual will multiply the power of this place. According to the legend, Svetelka will fulfill the desire of the one who, climbing to its top, will collect five stones, and then will be able to scatter these stones in different directions, while all five must necessarily roll down.

Neprudnaya tower in Moscow

This tower, located to the right of the entrance to the Novodevichy Convent, is also called Sophia, after the name of the sister of Peter I. There is a legend that Sophia imprisoned in it jumped from this very tower, and then began to help people, fulfilling their dreams. You need to touch your left hand to the wall of the tower from the outside, ask Sophia for help and say your wish three times. This method is especially effective for those who are eager to get rid of problems in their personal life.

Dolmens in the Krasnodar Territory

In the Kupriyanov Gorge in Gelendzhik, you can find five dolmens, each of which is capable of fulfilling wishes, but at the same time each has its own "specialization". One is responsible for the sphere of love, the second restores health, the third attracts well-being into life, the fourth promotes the development of talents, and the fifth activates good luck. You just need to choose the one you want and tell him about your dream, sticking your hands inside and presenting what you want.

Metro station "Revolution Square"

The Moscow metro station is decorated with stunning bronze sculptures, of which there are 76 pieces. To make your wish come true, you need to find a sculpture depicting a border guard with a dog, make his mind and pat the bronze dog on the head. She is especially fond of students rubbing her nose before exams.

Syuyumbike tower in Kazan

Slightly inclined to the northeast, the tower, which is part of the Kazan Kremlin, is steeped in myths and legends. According to one of them, if you come to the tower and lean your forehead against it, saying three wishes to yourself, they will surely come true soon. Syuyumbike is most supportive of those who need to improve their personal life. In this case, you should ask for the fulfillment of your dream with your back pressed against the tower.

Loo temple in Sochi

The medieval temple is now almost destroyed, but this in no way diminishes its magical power. Local legend says: if you come to the ruins, touch the ancient stones and ask for the most intimate, your wish will surely come true. The main thing at this moment is to focus on your dream and come to this place with a pure heart.

Blue stone in the national park "Lake Pleshcheyevo"

Located on the shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo near Pereslavl-Zalessky, a boulder of unusual blue color will surely fulfill any desire if, after asking and touching it, you leave a coin or candy nearby. If you tie a ribbon to a nearby tree, the likelihood of your dream coming true will increase many times over.

Istanbul always pleases with an abundance of colors and aromas, every time it looks in a new way and gives faith in a miracle. On the outskirts of the city is the modest mausoleum of Telli Baba, where thousands of people come hoping to find their happiness, and wedding corteges come here, where people are sitting eager to pay tribute for the fulfillment of a dream.
