Excursions in Chelyabinsk and Chelyabinsk region

How to choose a tour in Chelyabinsk

Chelyabinsk is a convenient and lively starting point for traveling in the Southern Urals. The city combines the dynamics of modern railway and industrial culture with cozy pedestrian streets, museums and observation decks. From here it is easy to start to mountain peaks, lakes and archaeological sites, organizing both a short walk and a few days on the road.

Historic walks and events

Historical routes around Chelyabinsk open ancient and not so old pages of the region: the famous Arkaim is a unique settlement of the Bronze Age from the “Country of Cities”, where you can feel the connection with the deep past; ancient Ural villages and monuments of industrial history complement the picture of the region. In the city, lively pedestrian streets, including Kirovka – the local “Arbat”, will help to feel the everyday atmosphere and local legends.

Excursions in the vicinity and outside the city

Natural routes in the Chelyabinsk region are striking in diversity: crystal clear Lake Turgoyak is considered one of the most transparent in Russia and is framed by forests and mysterious islands, high-mountain Zyuratkul in the Satkin district attracts mirror surface and observation ridges, and Taganay offers mountain trails, rock ridges and panoramas of the Ural expanses. Cave lovers will find interest in the Ignatievskaya cave near the village of Serpievka, and those who are interested in the industrial heritage will be impressed by the Porozhye hydroelectric power plant on the Big Satka River, built in the early XX century.
