Travel the roads of Russia, which like a fairy tale!

 

Explore Ural





Ufa — Beloretsk — Abzakovo

Ural mountains visible from the Federal highway M-5. But it is rather a way to get from point a to point B than a real journey. More interesting to choose the road less, closer to nature, but not this loaded. For example, from Ufa to Abzakovo through Beloretsk. The drivers scare each other with potholes, switchbacks, and the famous 180-degree turn, which was called Teschin language. And everyone is sure he adds: "But the views are!".

It is a good idea to stop halfway in a mountain river Inzer in rest house or tent. To catch fish, sit around a campfire and stop at last nervous over every little thing.

After Beloretsk you can continue to ski resorts Abzakovo and Bannoe: snowy road similar to the large gallery in the ice Palace.

Another option is to roll to the side of a karst cave Shulgan-Tash, famous cave paintings of the Paleolithic era.

Another way to extend the pleasure to indulge in a detour to the village Tyuluk from which to climb the mountain Iremel.

To overtake the caravan





Chuysky trakt (M52 part of the track)

From Biysk to the South, the Altai mountains and the border with Mongolia, is blowin ' Chuyskiy trakt. The story of the main Altai of the road began in the days of the silk road when through the mountains carefully made their way the caravans with curiosities from distant countries.

The beauty of the Altai mountains then, thought little, were much more concerned with the Bohm — dangerous narrow places on the trail. The first wheeled road appeared here only in the beginning of the XX century, and the modern Chuysky tract — even later, in 1935.

Before leaving, examine the Museum of Chuiskiy trakt in Biysk — for inspiration. In the area of 510 km of the route taxied to the kennel and meet the Bialowieza bison. Climb to the highest point of the tchuisky highway, the Seminsky pass, and in my own way, reward yourself with hot pasties.

728 km look back: on the mountain Adyr-Kan-preserved ancient rock paintings, and nearby is a deer stone with the face of a warrior.

From the village of Aktash starts on the side of the road on the Teletskoe lake through spectacular and frightening mountain pass katu-Yaryk.

The best time to travel: June-September

 

Fall in love in Ladoga





Olonets — Sortavala

In Karelia which road to take — all as a picture. Our favorite from Olonets to Sortavala on coast of Ladoga lake. Bays with sandy beaches on the East coast — our response to Turkey and Thailand. And the most entertaining plot winds along fjords and skerries of the Northern shore.

In the area of Rautalahti the road winds right along the edge of the Bay. The best thing to do is to get out of the car and climb the slope, as long as enough enthusiasm from the height of Ladoga even more wonderful.

In the season of navigation it is logical to continue the journey on the meteor from Sortavala to Valaam. In the winter, there goes the hovercraft.

Returning from a pilgrimage, go to the flooded marble quarries Ruskeala that turned into equipped mountain Park. Among the former mines, floating boats, flying to the trolls and dive with scuba — active entertainment especially pleasing after a long journey.

So sang Yuri Vizbor, as thousands of climbers and outdoorsmen. Physics and poetry from the 60s until now sigh on the road that leads to Tseyskoe gorge. Today, the site of the camp is a mountain resort, where not only the hard men in helmets and ice axes, but simply lovers of the mountains. The road to "CEU" — in itself a tourist attraction. After leaving the city, it spreads along the river Ardon, and then suddenly jumps in Tseyskoe gorge. Behind the windshield — the enchanted pine forest, and even the sky as if getting closer. The last kilometer you will pass without asphalt and will be under clouds at a height of 2 thousand meters.

A long time ago through Klukhori pass to the Main Caucasian mountain range took place caravan trail. In the early twentieth century in its place built a road suitable for cars. She combined Cherkessk and Sukhumi and had all the chances to win the glory of the Georgian Military. It did not happen. In Soviet times, a cheerful tourists with guitars and huge backpacks were still able to quickly get of the mountain Dombai directly to the Black sea. Now through traffic for no cars, walking is also not allowed: after all the state border.

However, even in shortened form, from Cherkessk Dombay to the — this road is extremely picturesque. Steep turns, rococoa river, the thick forest on the slopes is a classic mountain road, which, despite the difficulties, I want to go and go. Alas, he Klukhori pass is now impossible under any circumstances.

To get to the Pacific ocean





Lidoga — Vanino, Khabarovsk Krai

Some roads are especially good when not up to the end built. Go hard — can't argue with that. But it will be tete-a-tete with the wildlife and feel almost a pioneer. Route from Lidoga to the port of Vanino on the sea of Japan began in the late 90s, connecting old logging roads, and officially has not yet completed. Something which is new asphalt, but many of the old, with potholes and pits, part of the route is unpaved. The journey is to dare if only because of the extraordinarily beautiful ridge of the Sikhote-Alin, which have to cross.

The first part of the journey — from Khabarovsk to Lidoga — driving on normal roads. Then she starts to zigzag through the hills and rises higher, revealing great views from the passes. Litovoi between Vanino and no villages and gas stations, the phone does not work, only one café, so prepare for a 6-hour road thoroughly. But when they finally descend to the Pacific ocean, is a feeling that it was a dream and not real road to the far East of Russia.

Everything here is good: and the clear waters of the Irkut river, and villages of unpainted wooden houses and idyllic meadows, on which jingling bells, wandering cows, and the mountains around Paradise valley Tunkinskaya. To all this beauty keeps a great and almost empty road — a rare combination for our country.
