What is this? Impact Crater? Karst collapse? Or, could it be formed as
flood-lands from the very beginning?

Lookd like an oxbow recently formed in what could well be an older, larger oxbow.

What kind of additional features should be taken into account when
visiting this place (without drilling, excavating etc.)


Homework?

Doesn't strike me as being particularly odd. For some reason Moscow City Council
decided not to build in that particular block of land. Maybe it's a bit soggy underfoot
(look at the streams). Maybe it was someone's /dacha/ when the plans were being drawn up,
and people didn't need the hassle (but Muscovites prefer their /dachas/ in the woods).

Something to remember when visiting ?
"There's an interesting museum at
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=55.756257,37.617118&spn=0.001856,0.004635 "
and
"The Bureau de Change at Sheremeteyvo Dva have only heard of Dollars, Euros and
Roubles. They're not interested in changing any other currencies (including the ones the
quote prices for on their signboard). [This refers to the official BdC.]"
"#521 bus from Sheremetyvo Dva terminal to Richnoi Boxhal underground station
should be 25-30 roubles; from there a day ticket on the underground is about 50 roubles
more. The Moscow Underground is a geologist's delight."
