Route description

Chernevo and Opalikha reveal two sides of Krasnogorsk: busy streets run past urban neighbourhoods before the road reaches greener edges. On Lenina Street, the red-brick Assumption Church recalls the village that preceded the modern town. Choose a quiet place clear of traffic to pause and look at its exterior. The ride links Chernevo streets with roads near Opalikha and returns to the same area. A western branch is ridden out and back. This road-based option suits a confident cyclist: woodland edges alternate with motor traffic, and pedestrian passages require walking the bicycle. Its appeal lies in the changing relationship between modern housing, an old church site and the greener town boundary.

Nearby

An interior church visit can be added separately after checking parish hours and rules. Krasnogorsk ski loops and technical cross-country riding sections lie elsewhere in the forest network and are not a continuation of this road circuit. Small watercourses here are crossed in culverts; reaching an open bank requires a separately planned approach.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
Krasnogorskaya on MCD-2 lies near one side of the circuit. A separate permitted approach is needed; the original Chernevo start is not the station. Choose a convenient joining and return point in advance. Check departures and bicycle-carriage arrangements with the operator before travelling.
By car
Use Chernevo in Krasnogorsk as the town arrival area. Choose an accessible start beside the street network and review the one-way sections beforehand. Cycleways, the pedestrian tunnel and the wooden footbridge are not driving approaches.
Parking
Parking is unconfirmed. Find out where you may leave the car for the entire ride. Neither the church grounds nor residential courtyards are established parking for this route.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainСуммарный набор высоты — 67 м.
SurfaceAsphalt 84%, Dirt 4%, Concrete 1%, Unknown 10%.
Риски Roads carrying motor traffic require confident handling and observance of traffic rules. Follow permitted directions and watch junctions and driveway exits. Dismount on pedestrian sections, in the tunnel and on the wooden footbridge. Where pedestrians are prohibited on the carriageway, walking beside vehicles is not a substitute for riding: identify a permitted crossing beforehand. The western spur returns along the same road. Children need urban cycling skills and continuous adult supervision.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 1 h 44 min
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
A verified complete outing time is not established. Allow for signals and junctions, walking sections, the church stop and the approach from transport. Starting from the station adds travel to and from the circuit. Plan to finish in daylight without shortcuts through closed grounds.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
