Lesnaya Street

Lesnaya Street (former 3rd Belorussky Proezd) is a street in the Central Administrative District of Moscow, north of the Garden Ring. It runs from Tverskaya Zastava Square to Novoslobodskaya Street, which passes into Palikha Street.

The name of the 19th century is given by the timber warehouses and the market at that time, where the timber was stored and sold.
