Route description

West of the loggers’ clearing, a cross-valley forest direction runs below the Tunka mountains. It links river sections of the Khubuty, Khayurta and Khurguty before continuing west. The lower slopes have their own character: bends in the forest road lead towards water, followed by another river beyond the next stretch of woodland. After the Khurguty, the direction uses an old overgrown road and path. This is a forest passage between rivers where choosing the way matters. It can form part of a broader journey along the southern foothills, provided the return and present river conditions are prepared beforehand.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Independent forest navigation and river assessment are needed. The road is partly overgrown, and bicycle passage is unconfirmed. This is unsuitable for strollers or an ordinary children’s outing. Dog access and reliable reception are unknown.

Nearby

Following the Khurguty towards its upper waterfalls and Khurgutsky Pass is a separate mountain outing. This westward direction does not ascend to them. Chertolen-Gorkhon belongs to the author’s broader description of the area, but a visit to its riverbed is unconfirmed here. Check protected-area access and authorised stopping places before travelling.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
Public transport to the start is unconfirmed. Arrange arrival at the lower approach in the Sukhoye Ruslo area, followed by a separate walk to the forest start. Collection must account for the complete return.
By car
Vehicle access to the start is unconfirmed. The forest-road name establishes no present through passage. Confirm the lower drop-off and authorised vehicle access beforehand; plan the western section as a walk.
Parking
Parking is unconfirmed. Ask where a vehicle may be left for the whole forest outing and how to retrieve it afterwards.

What to expect

Places
Khubuty The river appears in the first part of the westward forest direction. Assess a safe passage while preserving time for the rest of the walk.
Khayurta Another distinct river valley lies on the way towards the Khurguty. The woodland passage meets the water again here.
Khurguty This river section precedes the old western continuation. Upper waterfalls and pass cirques lie beyond this outing.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainСуммарный набор высоты — 228 м.
SurfaceТип покрытия пока не определён.
Риски The Khubuty, Khayurta and Khurguty cross the walking direction. Reassess water and safe passage; bridges are unconfirmed. The overgrown road and path beyond the Khurguty require attention at branches. Wet ruts, vegetation and fallen timber can delay progress. Connecting the western endpoint to your chosen exit needs separate preparation.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 1 h 58 min
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
No exact duration is established for the day outing. Include the lower approach, westward passage, river stops and return. This is a one-way forest direction with no established circuit or complete return to collection. Preserve daylight for water assessment and finding the old path.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
A dry period without continuous snow or high water better suits this direction. Rain changes ruts and river crossings. The date of an older May outing provides no recommendation to repeat it then without a local-condition check.

What to bring

Базовый список для комфортного похода
Footwear with a dependable sole and protection from water.
Windproof waterproof clothing and dry reserves.
Water and food for the outing including the return.
Offline maps of junctions, river crossings and the chosen lower approach.
A headlamp, spare power and first-aid equipment.
An agreed meeting point and return check-in time.
