Mount Voskresenskaya — Serdtse Tomska: A Mountain Walk with Character

Route at a glance

The lower section offers a gradual start before woodland gives way to more open terrain. An unhurried pace leaves time to notice wooded lower slopes, mountain meadows and rocky ground rather than focusing only on the finish. The most distinctive places are Voskresenskaia Mount and Serdtse Tomska. It is worth allowing time for a brief stop at each one.

Getting there

Without a car

Travel by train to Tomsk-1, then take a city or suburban bus to the starting area near the trailhead. Check suburban timetables for an early start. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

By car

Use the relevant city or regional road from Tomsk to the trail area. Leave the car before any forest barrier. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

Parking

Use parking beside a park, sports base, station or nearby settlement. Keep forest tracks clear.
