TrailTrack routes

Explore two surviving directions of the Metropolitan Road, see Dmitrovskoye’s Church of St Demetrius from the road side, and walk from village surroundings into woodland. The former metropolitan estate’s history relates to an actual old passage followed here, beyond accounts of distant monuments.

Choose cultural and river sections of the Marfino direction for your walking day: the research town, outside estate approach or Fedoskino loop. The Razderikha and western Ucha add woodland surroundings; decide connections between your chosen parts before travelling.

Reach the Lavra under your own steam, linking central Moscow, the Yauza valley, Tayninskoye, Radonezh and Khotkovo. Architecture and pilgrimage tradition become part of a personal journey between the places.

Ride beside Zvenigorod’s Moscow River valley towards Karinskoye Suspension Bridge, then return with fresh attention to the town’s details. River and woodland surroundings give way to Chekhov and Orlova monuments, churches and the Manezh’s former merchant warehouses. It is an appealing plan for riders who enjoy an active outing with several meaningful stops.

Explore the Metropolitan Road in modest independent portions: from Dmitrovskoye’s village setting and actual old church to western woodland passages. It suits visitors interested in understanding the historical direction who choose a convenient section, approach and return beforehand.

Explore the woods on both sides of Malino and give your chosen area more attention: the lake and Skhodnya valley to the north, or the Goretovka and old church to the south. These paths invite a considered choice of outing where riverside woodland and Serednikovo’s history lie close to the suburban railway.

Discover Fryazino’s woodland cycling network through its actual named trails and choose your own sequence of branches. Chervotochina and Leshy provide different passages between the same junctions; Saxophone adds a central option, while the northern Wild sections extend the woodland outing.

This is a 3.65 km point-to-point cycling route with a complete recorded line to follow from start to finish. Rolling terrain: 44 m of total ascent over 3.65 km. Surface: sand plus asphalt. Estimated moving time is about 0.5 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

See old Chernevo beside modern Opalikha and pause outside the Assumption Church, completed in the late nineteenth century. The circuit brings you back to the same area, while the western spur adds a separate out-and-back episode. Choose it if you are comfortable on urban roads and want to combine them with greener stretches.

Explore Dubrovitsy beyond the familiar photograph of the Church of the Sign: notice the Horse Yard gates, connect the estate side with industrial Belyayevo and continue to the Desna and Erino. The ride back through Podolsk reveals another Pakhra crossing and finishes where the day began.

The interest of this 4.77 km circular cycling route lies in travelling the distance itself: its gradients, surface and rhythm. Rolling terrain: 61 m of total ascent over 4.77 km. Estimated moving time is about 0.6 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

Take a substantial cycling outing from Balashikha and return to the starting area. The Klyazma, Pekhorka and Trinity Church give the ride more variety than a routine training lap, combining rivers, urban outskirts and woodland roads when access has been checked in advance.

See contemporary art beside a scientific town, from Malevich’s Code and the virus monument to unusual MatRex. A bicycle connects different quarters, while walking stops let you examine the works themselves. Concrete sculptures and buildings give this town outing its interest.

Treat this 17.07 km point-to-point cycling route as a complete outing, paying attention to the terrain and changing surface underfoot. Gentle terrain: 77 m of total ascent over 17.07 km. Estimated moving time is about 1.6 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

Make a prolonged outing with two different natural pauses: a short Lohin Island visit and a stop near Podushkino Spring. The updated woodland connection differs from the older western approach, with actual waters and the Odintsovo-11 archaeological place before the conclusion.

See Pochtovy Pond and Ershovo’s Trinity Church, whose history combines wartime remembrance with the village’s recovery. The northern country portion adds distance and changing settlements. The idea suits experienced cyclists prepared to settle the road-side return beforehand; a shorter independent Ershovo outing provides another way to enjoy the church stop.

This 3.01 km point-to-point cycling route is shaped by its terrain, surface and pace rather than a single landmark. Rolling terrain: 42 m of total ascent over 3.01 km. Surface: sand plus natural ground. Estimated moving time is about 0.5 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

See Chudesarium as it actually stands today, spend time beside the Nerskaya and finish at another railway platform. Choose this established outdoor direction for an independent day combining an unusual handmade landmark with a substantial woodland walk.

Give a winter outing to deciduous woodland, connecting northern bends and a broad southeastern turn. The two sections offer different movement patterns, while the shared entry remains your return and pause place. Choose this complete circuit to experience both sides of its ski paths.

Run through the town park and Triangular Wood, with time to pause at the Eternal Flame memorial beside the park entrance.

Recognise the 2017 version through three distinct Klubish encounters and the eastern continuation via the Yakhroma. Water locations reveal this old Sotnya’s individual character; build a present trip around a checked accessible section.

Shore or waterside sections are recorded on the route along this 37.02 km point-to-point walking route. Gentle terrain: 275 m of total ascent over 37.02 km. Allow at least 2 days and verify overnight and exit options independently.

This 37.38 km point-to-point walking route is shaped by its terrain, surface and pace rather than a single landmark. Gentle terrain: 246 m of total ascent over 37.38 km. Surface: sand plus natural ground. Allow at least 2 days and verify overnight and exit options independently.

Run from Katuar towards Iksha through the specific southern Klubish crossing. The direct woodland turn beyond the river distinguishes this version from the more westerly archived loop with another river approach.
