TrailTrack routes

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.

Historic and modern water infrastructure share the itinerary: Moscow’s aqueduct arches and the navigable canal in the region. Separate outings give the city and the open countryside section their own days, with time to pause.

Travel from the camps near Svetloe to Zolotarnoye and climb Pikantny from its southern side. The lake’s bank and pass saddle offer different mountain experiences during one excursion.

Visit Zolotarnoye, Zelyony and Pikantny during one mountain journey with returns to familiar lake approaches. Explore different saddles without adding Dinosaur Peak’s ascent.

Link Marble Waterfall and Lake with a definite saddle, a named rocky field and two separate upper lakes. The contrast between wooded Tushkanchik and Minotaur’s Labyrinth gives this passage a distinct character.

Climb the specific Lower Buiba valley towards Tushkanchik Pass. Woodland paths and the open pass side show a gradual change in mountain surroundings during a distinct approach.

Expect woodland is one of the route's main features on this 2.39 km point-to-point walking route. Noticeable climbing: 67 m of total ascent over 2.39 km. Surface: mud and grass plus natural ground. Estimated moving time is about 0.9 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

Move from the Medvezhye forest side towards Svetloe without adding another pass crossing. The appeal is the transition from enclosed woodland to a close approach to the larger lake and its mountain skyline.

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.

Combine a close seasonal Tumannoe Lake approach with climbing towards the Dragon’s Tooth ridge side. The junction ending distinguishes this rocky approach from the additional summit ascent.

Walk the principal pilgrimage road to the Lavra and keep separate regional outings for another day. Rostokino Aqueduct, Tayninskoye, Radonezh and Khotkovo Convent connect the main journey, while the southern walks provide a reason to return without rushing.

See Moscow beyond its central embankments: the aqueduct’s pale arches, quiet Leonovo Pond, small sculptures on the Timiryazevskaya side and an old church among Veshnyaki’s neighbourhoods. Cycling links these different places, while walking stops let you examine them closely. Changes of district and local history give this extended version its appeal, and several independent outings make room to enjoy them.

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.

Walk from Rechkunovka to Akademgorodok’s quiet waterbody, exchanging settlement streets for botanical woodland. Ef and Krugloye, the Zyryanka and Duck Lake bank each offer a reason to pause. The outing shows how a woodland walk connects with suburban settlement life.

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.

Walk from a grand princely ensemble to the more intimate estate of Pushkin’s childhood. Between them comes time for conversation, woodland paths and small-river encounters. The history is approachable with children: first see the church and palace, then find young Pushkin beside his grandmother. Exterior estate places provide an introduction, with museum rooms added according to your interests.

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.

The outing combines everyday Mytishchi with the neighbouring forest. Yauza Palace of Culture provides an urban stopping point, while returning to the same station leaves the rest of the day for woodland roads.

See the Ob Sea from its left-bank beach side, pass through Bumerang and By the Ob Sea Park, then pause in the commemorative square. Chemsky woodland, the open bank and ObGES history give the day varied impressions.

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.

Connect eastern Moscow’s ponds with Pekhra-Yakovlevskoye Estate in one substantial cycling outing. The estate ensemble and Transfiguration Church provide a specific historical destination among the urban roads and woodland passages.

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.

See the Berd River from its footbridge and combine the river with a walk across the northern side of Berdsk. Choose this crossing after checking shore access: the water and changing urban surroundings give the journey towards Metelitsa its character.
