Chkalovskaya staircase

Chkalovskaya staircase - one of the symbols of Nizhny Novgorod. It connects the Nizhnevolzhskaya, Verkhnevolzhskaya embankments and the main city square - Minin and Pozharsky Square. The Chkalov ladder was built in honor of the victory of the Soviet people in the Battle of Stalingrad. This is one of the longest stairs in Russia. Initially, the stairs were called Stalingrad.

If you believe the numerous sites about Nizhny Novgorod, then the steps 560.
