Route description

The Gladyshevka brings a woodland walk together with the history of Seppyanen Watermill. Pause beside the river before continuing beneath the trees towards the Linde Guesthouse foundations. This version begins on the southern Gorkovskoye side and retains the older woodland circuit plan, returning towards its beginning. Establish present access to this particular version before choosing it. In July 2026 the reserve announced conversion of the circuit into a linear trail, with signs and infrastructure removed from some former passages. The older circuit cannot be treated as an operating marked loop. Once permitted sections are agreed, the walk offers views of the river and historical remains from accessible positions. A surviving mill does not imply admission to its deteriorated building.

How much time to allow

After agreeing access, allow a daylight walk with river and mill stops. Establish the return to the southern side on the present layout beforehand. If only the new linear trail is authorised, its departure needs a separate plan.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
The official guide describes snow-free spring to autumn visits. This does not establish opening of the older circuit; check present works and authorised sections separately. Ask about riverbank access after heavy rain.
