The Museum Complex of Civil and Military Equipment in Verkhnyaya Pyshma is home to a wide-ranging collection. Sverdlovsk Oblast also lists three approved road tourism routes, each with its own locations. This gives you two concrete starting points when choosing a trip: a collection site or a route that includes several places. Check route information before setting off.
Technology collection in Verkhnyaya Pyshma
The museum complex contains more than 15,000 exhibits, including more than 2,000 items of civil and military equipment. The extensive collection includes military, civil, railway, and mining equipment; the figures may change over time. Verkhnyaya Pyshma is the specific location of this museum complex.
The figures and categories provide two different points of reference: the total number indicates the size of the collection, while the categories show which fields of technology are represented. If you have a particular interest, consider whether civil and military equipment or railway and mining equipment is more appealing. This makes it possible to choose a theme for your museum visit while planning your trip, without combining the different areas into a single focus.
Three approved road tourism routes
An approved list published in 2026 includes three routes, each with its own locations. The Demidov road tourism route runs between Yekaterinburg, Nevyansk, and Nizhny Tagil. These three names define the options along this route.
Another approved route runs between Yekaterinburg and Kamensk-Uralsky. Its title is “Vdol Iseti na zvuk kolokola: puteshestvie v Kamensk-Uralskiy.” The title is part of the route’s name; the places explicitly listed are also important for practical planning.
The route “Otkryvaya Ural: priroda, istoriya, legendy” lists Yekaterinburg, Irbit, Turinsk, and Tavda. By comparison, the Demidov route lists three places, while the route to Kamensk-Uralsky lists two. Yekaterinburg appears in all three route descriptions; the other place names distinguish the options. Check route information before setting off.
Choose your accommodation based on your trip plans
When planning where to stay, first decide whether the museum complex in Verkhnyaya Pyshma or the locations along an approved route will be the focus. The routes list different places, even though Yekaterinburg appears in all three. Search for a holiday apartment based on the places actually included in your plans.
