Route description

Kalistovo to Radonezh with a western loop beside the Yakhroma suits those who enjoy an independent ski day with a substantial woodland continuation. From the Kalistovo beginning, the passage first heads northwest before a long western section leads towards Gerasimikha. The returning side of the loop passes beside the Yakhroma, where a river pause changes the woodland rhythm. The outing then turns east again towards passenger Radonezh. This western loop distinguishes the version from short walks between nearby railway approaches. The author connects it with local ski corridors cleared for earlier seasons; check present snow and passage before travelling.
