Cycling routes of the city of Yekaterinburg

Every year public organizations or associations organize many events in Yekaterinburg dedicated to bicycles and everything connected with them. Throughout the year, there is propaganda in favor of cycling and a healthy lifestyle with slogans like "two wheels are better than four", etc.

When designing new neighborhoods, the availability of bike paths must be taken into account. Surprisingly, even road repair jobs are responsive to the needs of cyclists. For those who like to ride a two-wheeled friend with a breeze, there are many routes both within and outside of Yekaterinburg.

In the north-east of the city there is Lake Shartash... This shallow lake (only 3 meters) stretches for 6.9 km2. Belongs to the Iset river basin. Nearby there is a forest area with a large number of paths running through the entire zone.

Shartash forest park is attractive for several reasons. The first is a combination of picturesque nature with urban infrastructure, since the lake is located within the city. Second, there are the so-called "Stone Tents" here. It is a monument of geology and architecture that has preserved the remains of the culture of ancient people.

Park of Culture and Leisure named after V.V. Mayakovsky is especially loved by the inhabitants of Yekaterinburg. Now admission is free, so there are a lot of people who want to relax here on weekends.All the diners are full, and popular hits are coming from the loudspeakers. If you want to ride in peace, it is better to come on weekdays and immediately head to the monument dedicated to the motorcycle warriors, and there you can already choose a suitable route for the trip. There are only two options to choose from:

• ride along forest paths, observing the local flora and fauna in the form of thrushes, squirrels and wild strawberry bushes;
• go to Bazovy lane, and after it - to the Park of Russian foresters.

There are other cycling routes in Yekaterinburg, for example, the Red Line.

In 2011, residents of the city took the initiative to create this historic route. It was created in the same year. The route is updated frequently. It is popular among Yekaterinburg residents and guests of the city. When you don't have much time and you want to see the main attractions, you should choose route Red line. It is simply impossible to stray from it, since it is indicated by a bright wide red stripe.

The route starts from 1905 Square, where the City Duma is located. It ends on Weiner's pedestrian street. The movement along this route is accompanied by many beautiful temples, luxurious mansions that have preserved the old style, theaters, museums and monuments.

The official opening of the park falls on the middle of the last century in connection with the All-Russian meeting of foresters of the Sverdlovsk region. Since that time, a whole larch alley has remained intact, as well as a monumental stone dedicated to foresters.

When entering the park area from the Siberian tract, you can see the remains of wooden sculptures built here in the 70s. These sculptures were erected in honor of the Riphean Mountains - as historians once called the Urals.

There are many attractions along this route. The road passes through the well-known Ganina Yama. The lake itself is a reservoir and ranks second in size after Lake Ayat in the vicinity of the city. It is from here that the Iset River begins. In the southwest of the Iset station (about 6–7 km) there are picturesque granite rocks called the Devil's Gorodishche.

Traveling along this route is a real bike trip. To get to Lake Chusovskoye, you will need strength and experience in cycling, not only on smooth asphalt. So you can’t call it an easy walk.

The Chusovskaya tract has not been repaired for a long time, and therefore there are pits and potholes on the road. There is fine gravel along the roadside. The roadside itself is narrow, which makes it difficult to drive on it. Novice cyclists will find it difficult to ride this road. Cars occasionally appear due to turns, so you need to remain vigilant. On both sides, the same monotonous forest landscape. However, no disadvantages compare with the beauty of the lake itself and the sand beaches.

The route runs along the Ring Road. In the airport area - turn left and further onto the Aramilskiy tract. The main pride of the route is the observation deck in the airport area. It is not possible to drive up with a four-wheeled vehicle, as there are many cars on the side of the road. For cyclists, this is not an obstacle. You can admire how planes land and take off. Returning to the city, it is worth stopping at the picturesque park (the entrance is not far from the Ramada hotel).

This route can be easily mastered by beginners. He walks along the Novomoskovsky tract before turning to Flux... The area occupied by the reservoir is 12 km2, and the depth is up to 8 meters in some places. The second name of the reservoir is the North Sea.There are many cycling paths and paths in the local forest. Volchikha Mountain is located near the reservoir, and the Europe-Asia obelisk is located near the lake.

A challenging route for experienced cyclists... The track is "equipped" with steep descents and ascents. The route starts from Kosmonavtov Ave., then through the interchange onto the P352 road. There will be a name sign on the way. As a rule, when arriving at their destination, cyclists feel tired. There are several recreation centers and cottages on the shore.

Another difficult route, which not all experienced cyclists can do, which is only worth the climb from Platonida to Shunut. Even on horseback, many cannot overcome this route, and some cyclists go on foot. Consider the weather when cycling along this trajectory. After the rain, it is generally impossible to drive here.

Mount Shunt is unique and interesting, it is an adornment of the Middle Urals. The full name of the mountain is Shunt-stone. The length of the mountain peaks is 15 km.
