Speleologists Trail: from Health Trail to Torgashino’s Allotment Edge

Speleologists Trail connects woodland Health Trail with Torgashino’s allotment edge. This direction leads from the upper junction toward the city: first down the ridge slope, then through the Karst junction area toward a more open meadow and the northern woodland exit. The broad path lets you notice the transition from mountain-taiga woodland to the residential side of Krasnoyarsk. Reaching the bus stop and city streets beyond the forest end requires a separate connection. The name has a particular history. From the middle of the last century, cavers used this approach toward Torgashinskaya Cave; the local caving movement left its mark on the ridge’s place names. On today’s walk, imagine the early groups heading through the forest toward their underground explorations. Torgashinskaya Cave itself lies farther away on another approach, outside this descent. This version works as the closing woodland section of a carefully planned ridge outing. Reach the upper junction by an independently checked route and prepare the city connection through Torgashino. Wet weather and ice make even a relatively short woodland descent demand care over footing.
