Route description

From Oktyabrsky, this walk passes through Lesnaya Opushka and approaches Makeyevka Pond. Pause by the water to notice the change from the town’s edge to Tomilinsky Forest Park, then continue along accessible paths towards the western exit. An unhurried pace suits the place: the attraction is this particular pond and a quiet passage through a park familiar to local residents, rather than a long checklist of sights. Part of Lesnaya Opushka has been improved, but the park area and neighbouring natural paths do not necessarily share the same conditions throughout. Use open passages and avoid assuming that every woodland section offers the facilities of the central paths. If you want to linger beside Makeyevka, decide beforehand how you will return to Oktyabrsky: the walk finishes on the other side of the forest park. A pause on the shore belongs naturally to the outing; entering the water does not, and swimming is not included.

Other areas of Tomilinsky Forest Park and the Volkushinsky quarry need separate planning. They are not part of this walk; check the approach, access and rules before extending your day.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
Check current transport to the eastern start on the Oktyabrsky side and a separate service after the western exit. If you have not arranged a return journey, allow for walking back the same way; a complete transport connection has not been confirmed.
By car
Approach a permitted pedestrian entrance from Oktyabrsky. The car will remain on one side of the outing, so plan the walk back to it. Driving on park or woodland paths is not proposed.
Parking
Operation of a dedicated car park at the selected entrance has not been confirmed. Planning documents contain parking proposals, which do not establish that a facility is operating today. Ask park management or use an authorised city parking space.
