TrailTrack routes

Thuja Alley gives the walk a specific destination, while the longer woodland section reveals the park beyond its busiest lower paths. Retracing the approach towards the town suits a day ending on a familiar park side.

Walk from Lake Kezenoy-Am towards Hebda through Preobrazhenskaya Fortress and Khupurda-Meir. The lake, historic site and pass provide three distinct reasons to pause in this direction.

Pause at Seven-Colour for the water itself: changing light and viewing angles alter its appearance. The two upper lakes provide a second destination and show how the larger basin fits into the surrounding terrain. Devote the day to one valley without confusing Bolshaya Dukka with the neighbouring Rybka and Arkasarskoye outing.

Agura Waterfalls and Devil’s Pool give the gorge direction two specific destinations. Visit only after permitted access is confirmed, without expecting full flow or a view of the middle cascade.

Leave Kaskelen’s side valleys for open Southern Cossack high ground and discover Upper Cossack Lake after a long changing landscape.

Expect shore or waterside sections are recorded on the route on this 207.65 km point-to-point cycling route. Gentle terrain: 265 m of total ascent over 207.65 km. Surface: asphalt. Allow at least 3 days and verify overnight and exit options independently.

This 34.56 km circular walking route is shaped by its terrain, surface and pace rather than a single landmark. Gentle terrain: 175 m of total ascent over 34.56 km. Surface: asphalt plus natural ground. Allow at least 2 days and verify overnight and exit options independently.

Expect shore or waterside sections are recorded on the route on this 38.15 km circular walking route. Gentle terrain: 292 m of total ascent over 38.15 km. Surface: concrete plus asphalt. Allow at least 2 days and verify overnight and exit options independently.

Expect woodland is one of the route's main features on this 37.83 km point-to-point walking route. Gentle terrain: 45 m of total ascent over 37.83 km. Surface: natural ground plus asphalt. Allow at least 2 days and verify overnight and exit options independently.

The recorded line is a 21.44 km point-to-point cycling route, with woodland is one of the route's main features. Gentle terrain: 49 m of total ascent over 21.44 km. Surface: asphalt. Estimated moving time is about 2.0 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

This 300.55 km circular cycling route passes through terrain where woodland is one of the route's main features. Gentle terrain: 256 m of total ascent over 300.55 km. Surface: asphalt plus concrete. Allow at least 4 days and verify overnight and exit options independently.

This 202.04 km point-to-point walking route passes through terrain where woodland is one of the route's main features. Gentle terrain: 154 m of total ascent over 202.04 km. Allow at least 9 days and verify overnight and exit options independently.

Move gradually from the Grodno region into northern and eastern Belarus, connecting Lida Castle, Oshmyany’s architecture and Hlybokaye’s lakeshore. It suits travellers interested in the roads between towns as well as their principal sights.

The railway museum and 1812 memorial stone provide specific reasons to linger in the fortress district between the two city edges.

The interest of this 16.5 km point-to-point walking route lies in travelling the distance itself: its gradients, surface and rhythm. Noticeable climbing: 508 m of total ascent over 16.5 km. Estimated moving time is about 5.7 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

The descent follows a particular change from the open Red Sun platform through pine avenues to spa architecture. The Air Temple provides a named historical stop between the higher park and the gallery.

Two compact park scenes give this walk a clear purpose: the classical pavilion beside the start and the sandstone formations on the descent. They offer a close look at a Middle Park corner without a long circuit of the Dzhinal ridge.

High saddles reveal how the Caucasus changes from the Prielbrusye side towards Arkhyz and the western valleys. Select an individual crossing with a particular pass while retaining its separate approach and descent in the overall plan.

Approach Dargavs from Ezmi and Saniba Pass, or choose an independent western journey through mountain Ossetia. The necropolis provides a shared destination and a thoughtful conclusion to exploring its surrounding valleys.

Akhun Tower’s exterior and Agura’s natural rock forms belong to one upper-to-gorge direction. Once permission is confirmed, it allows an architectural stop to be compared with cascade steps and Devil’s Pool.

The attraction is a high mountain lake in a natural glacial basin, without resort viewing platforms around its shore. Water and rock give Blue Lake a distinct setting for quiet observation. Visit only with an agreed, lawful day plan; a lakeside tent camp is not an authorised part of the experience.

Akhshtyr Gorge gives the short cliff-side version a specific natural destination. Once permission is agreed, examine the canyon from the upper path without adding distant caves, a waterfall or managed attractions.

Plan this 7.94 km circular walking route from its verified distance, gradients and recorded surface rather than unconfirmed landmarks. Estimated moving time is about 2.3 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

The two valleys reveal different Caucasus histories: old Balkarian settlements and the Ossetian reverence for the protector of travellers. Uastyrdzhi and Ishkanty provide specific reasons to leave the car and explore.
