Route description

The northern summer option from Polushkino to Teatralnaya combines two Moscow River encounters with a deeper outing into Kryukovo’s woodland side. First come Vasilyevskoye’s wooden suspension bridge and its Resurrection Church from Peter the Great’s era. The village continuation reaches a spring near Kryukovo, followed by the northern loop’s woodland Gnilyusha beside a small footbridge. The return section reaches the Moscow River near Mars, crossing on a road bridge with pedestrian sides before continuing towards Teatralnaya. For an independent running day, check older forest and quarry connections beforehand, particularly the former railway-branch section. Permitted continuous pedestrian passage through the complete option is unconfirmed.

Route at a glance

Главное за минуту
See Vasilyevskoye from its suspension crossing, pause near the Kryukovo spring and reach the woodland Gnilyusha on the northern side. This option extends the river idea with a longer forest loop than the shortened road journey to Teatralnaya. Two different Moscow River crossings show the changing rural and wooded character of the area.

Nearby

For a separate Koryazhnik Lake visit, establish the selected waterbody’s local identity, permitted bank approach and visiting conditions. Swimming is not a verified part of this outing. The Vasilyevskoye estate also needs its own programme and entry check. This northern option should not be replaced by a different itinerary across the old Moscow River railway bridge.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
Begin with Polushkino railway stop, followed by a separate approach from a permitted exit. Return through Teatralnaya after approaching from the finishing side south of the railway. Check selected train stops and available crossings. Shortening the northern section requires separately planned collection or an operating local service.
By car
Arrange a drop-off beside an accessible Polushkino road and collection towards Teatralnaya. A car left at the start needs separate retrieval. Vehicle support through woodland and former quarry connections is unconfirmed. Obtain permission for closed entrances and service land.
Parking
Parking at either end is unconfirmed. Check a permitted place and vehicle storage duration before travelling. Keep platform approaches, bus areas and private entrances clear when collecting the group.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainСуммарный набор высоты — 216 м.
SurfaceAsphalt 22%, Gravel 11%, Compacted dirt 10%, Unknown 34%.
Риски Northern woodland and field connections require confident navigation. Check older passages beforehand, especially near closed entrances and the former quarry branch. Abandoned rails do not establish permitted pedestrian access; use a separately verified connection or shorten the outing when access remains uncertain. Inspect the suspension bridge and Gnilyusha footbridge before crossing. Use the Mars road bridge’s pedestrian side and designated railway crossings near the finish.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 5 h 28 min
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
Allow a long daytime outing with time for the northern loop, historic pause and return train. No verified complete duration exists. Confirm key connections and a backup forest exit before travelling. A separate lakeshore visit needs additional approach and timing checks; former group catering is outside the programme.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
The author’s idea is for summer, while dry, cool weather better suits independent running. Open sections need water and sun protection. After rain, check hollows and wooden decking; strong wind may require reconsidering the suspension crossing. Winter use needs fresh checks of woodland connections, snow and bridges.
