TrailTrack routes

Choose this walk for the waterside character of the forest. Plyanta-1, Plyanta-2 and Plyanta-3 offer separate places to pause, while the old juniper gives the woodland section a clear destination. It works well as an unhurried part of a day in Kamenyuki.

Compare the Pozhezhinsky King Oak and Patriarch Oak, using two different woodland approaches near Romatovo. Leave time beside each tree to appreciate their individual shapes.

Treat this 1.95 km point-to-point cycling route as a complete outing, paying attention to the terrain and changing surface underfoot. Rolling terrain: 24 m of total ascent over 1.95 km. Surface: mud and grass. Estimated moving time is about 0.4 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

Explore Zhelanny Pass and separately prepare Biron’s lower exit. The upper saddle offers a specific mountain destination, while joining the sections needs independent research.

Expect mapped viewpoints occur along the way on this 5.89 km point-to-point walking route. Gentle terrain: 19 m of total ascent over 5.89 km. Estimated moving time is about 1.8 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

Discover Vityaz’s winter surroundings and choose a longer woodland outing than the ordinary short rock approach. Separate branches reveal the Orlyonok area and southern Olkha Plateau when connections and admission have been confirmed.

Experience the change from Porog’s forest-road surroundings over Directorsky Pass to the rocky Uda valley. Rock paintings near Millionny bring human history to the winter landscape, while Hadama recalls life and weather observation in a remote place. Finishing in Alygdzher allows a separately arranged introduction to Tofalaria.

Follow the northern arc and see how one Klubish stream appears first on its far side, then twice along the southern continuation towards Iksha. Between the Povarovo and Iksha sides, the connected woodland journey has its own sequence of river encounters.

Discover how western Moscow’s woodland belts connect through small river valleys and the broad Moscow River. Bykov Pond and the Petrovo-Dalneye bridge provide waterside pauses, the Medvenka offers a quieter woodland setting, and Malevich Park adds contemporary art. Once access and alternatives are checked, these places can form a rewarding long training outing with different starting and finishing points.

Turn a regular run into a directed Pionerskaya–Skolkovo outing, meeting Pear Pond, Forest Lake, Betonka and Sominka Stream. Lazutinka adds Podushkino Forest’s established sporting atmosphere, while railway access at both ends simplifies travel.

Pause at Holy Trinity Church, Saint Michael the Archangel Church and its Gate Bell Tower in Porozovo. The Ross River adds a water stop, while village roads make a bicycle journey and thoughtful architectural visit work together.

Mapped viewpoints occur along the way along this 5.8 km point-to-point walking route. Rolling terrain: 78 m of total ascent over 5.8 km. Surface: gravel. Estimated moving time is about 1.8 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

Explore two different Sayan settings: the pass valleys of the Arlyk-Gol and Barun-Ospa, then the confined Kitoy and Shumak banks. Motkiny Gorge gives the river stage a distinct character, the Khuukhein-Khada pillars add cultural meaning, and Shumak Pass reveals the southern side of the Tunkinsky mountains.

Once the route reopens, follow Chulcha Valley to Uchar, encountering the Chulyshman and Artyshtu along the way. The riverside approach and final cascade make this a distinct walking day within a journey through Chulyshman Valley.

With an agreed safe ice plan, discover western Baikal from the lake’s open space, observe coastal headlands and reach mainland MRS. This independent winter expedition combines the beauty of the open lake with substantial preparation.

Treat this 17.71 km point-to-point cross-country skiing route as a complete outing, paying attention to the terrain and changing surface underfoot. Gentle terrain: 83 m of total ascent over 17.71 km. Estimated moving time is about 3.1 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

The nearest circuit introduces the local woodland paths without continuing to the eastern option’s far turn.

This 25.95 km point-to-point walking route is shaped by its terrain, surface and pace rather than a single landmark. Rolling terrain: 209 m of total ascent over 25.95 km. Estimated moving time is about 8.0 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

Spend an active day travelling from a suburban railway station to the Moscow metro, with different places to discover along the way. St Sergius and St Elijah churches provide architectural pauses, Semin and Bykov ponds offer waterside stops, and the woodland glades change the mood. The smiling Khoja Nasreddin makes a recognisable meeting point after a substantial run.

Spend a day in the woods without returning along the same road. The Ostrovnya shapes the main section, while the Nakhavnya provides a final river encounter before the train. This suits an independently planned run with small-river pauses, exploring the countryside outside Zvenigorod’s usual town itinerary.

Devote the walk to a single valley, following Baritovaya from Arkhyz towards its waterfall. The wooded approach and steeper upper section make the waterside pause feel earned. For visitors who prefer walking out from their accommodation, it offers a clear destination without a required mountain transfer.
