TrailTrack routes

During the authorised summer season, visit the specific cold Boiling Spring and climb towards Bolshoy Nurgush’s mountain side. Approach and return follow one woodland valley.

Explore the woodland side of Shimpalatovskoye Lake and reach the actual Wings artwork. A northern approach and separate return give the outing its own character while retaining the principal trail’s nature theme.

Explore the riverside from Tuchkovo to Volkovo, with the Polushkino spring and the local Setun along the way. Cycling reveals changes between rural approaches and woodland ground. Slow down at bridges and water without turning the outing into the longer continuation to Zvenigorod.

Two named canals show how Puy-Saint-Vincent residents brought water to mountain meadows. The local farming history is visible during a short woodland outing.

This part of Losiny Ostrov has an artistic theme: modern wooden idols and bears stand among trees. Compare the carving with the surrounding woodland and distinguish a creative interpretation of the past from genuine antiquities.

Combine Kurgolovskoye Lake’s shore with swings, the ski installation and ethnographic interpretation. Specific stops make the woodland outing engaging for adults and children, while returning to the same entrance simplifies the finish.

Check the resort’s current access arrangements before visiting. The Stash reveals how a winter sports space fits into a real mountain forest. In summer its wooden figures and surrounding firs draw the eye, while Verkhneye Lake offers a more open scene further along the walk. The contrast creates a rewarding woodland visit rather than a simple journey between stations.

See an arboretum at a formative site of Russian forestry, walk beside the Lustovka and finish near Benois architecture. Kankrin’s history, forest plantings and the memorial give the outing several distinct themes.

Explore Tolmachyovo’s pine-woodland side and the upper surroundings of the Yashera canyon. The river-side clearing gives the walk a clear destination, while different outward and return paths make a full woodland outing.

Combine a Shcheleyki walk with an actual visit to the exterior of Sambo Lighthouse and the Lake Onega shore. Observe the coastline and rock outcrops beside the lake, and the changing northern landscape in the forest; confirm the entire passage first.

Ascend from the lower Miskhor side to Voronya Rock and Airplane Pine, watching the wooded southern slope give way to the upper mountain landscape. Choose it as an agreed ascent with a complete return plan.

Spend longer between Karakol Valley, Ala-Kul and Altyn-Arashan, revisiting selected approaches. It suits an experienced group devoting a substantial holiday to the area and planning each mountain stage beforehand.

Grosse Scheidegg brings the celebrated Bernese Oberland mountain setting within a demanding cycling journey. Climb gradually from valley settlements to the pass beside the Wetterhorn, then descend into a different valley. A historic church, transport exhibit and literary monument give the stops distinctive subjects. Choose it if you are a prepared cyclist looking for a sustained ride with a substantial mountain ascent.

Spend a forest day beside the Oredezh, observe actual Onza and Orlinka crossings and a small water-eroded grotto. Railway arrival points at the ends support a car-free outing.

Walk the northern hills and western woodland of Toksovo Heights, find the Owl and Ladybird and connect the visible terrain with actual interpretive boards. A compact outing offers a varied forest setting.

Combine an old spruce, a walk beside Onega and a view of the city from Devil’s Chair. Returning through shoreline and rocky sections gives the day more variety than a separate short walk to the tree.

Compare Shants and Rif, walk the western island between the nature reserve and fortifications, and see the gulf from its shore. This outing offers more time beside actual structures and coastline than the short introductory circuit.

See two connected traces of one eruption: Naboko’s lava approach and its crater form. Returning towards Kleshnya makes this a distinct introduction to the southern Tolbachik area once visits are permitted again.

Explore lower Chatyr-Dag in several directions and connect surface approaches to Marble Cave, Emine-Bair-Khosar and Emine-Bair-Koba. The focus is the karst plateau and different entrances to its underground world.

Spend a day in Shalovo-Perechitsky Reserve’s pine woodland, pause beside Chyornoye Lake and see the Luga from an actual viewing place. The woodland circuit stays rewarding beyond the flowering season.

Walk actual Chukhonka Park, view Izhorsky Pond from the bank and return to the familiar entrance. City arrival and flexible pauses make the outing suitable for a family.

Approach the Gladyshevka from the northern woodland side and visit the mill and Linde Guesthouse remains during a separate outing. Confirming access to the former passages after rerouting is an essential condition.

See the manor house, Gothic Gates, Humpback Bridge and cascade during one unhurried walk. Taitsy’s park combines water, old buildings and landscape paths, with interest extending beyond the palace façade.

Walk actual fairy-tale sites in Novo-Kavgolovskoye Forest Park, view Svetloye Lake and cross the wooden suspension Devil’s Bridge. The short loop returns to its entrance and allows family pauses.
