Spurvehøyden

Sparrow Hills, is a hill on the right bank of the Moskva River and one of the highest points in Moscow, reaching a height of 80 m above the river level.

The observation platform is on a steep bank 85 m above the river, or 200 m above sea level. The Central Lenin Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies for the 1980 Summer Olympics took place, is right below, across the Moskva River. Next to it is the Novodevichy Convent, with its Naryshkin Baroque towers.

Not far from the observation platform is the Luzhniki Metro Bridge. The two-level Metro-Bridge traverses the river to link Komsomolsky Prospekt with Vernadsky Prospekt. It serves two urban transport systems: motor vehicles and the Moscow Metro subway. The glass-walled subway station Vorobyovy Gory is at the lower level of the bridge.
