Several natural monuments have been designated in Sysert District. Another nature-related feature is the network of developed ecological trails in Bazhovskie Mesta Nature Park, which are intended for walking and recreation. When planning your trip, you can therefore distinguish between individual natural sites and a walk along the trails. Routes in Sverdlovsk Oblast also provide a separate, broader level of trip planning.
Natural Monuments in Sysert District
Talkov Kamen is one of 18 natural monuments in Sysert District. Other natural monuments include Asbest-Kamen, Markov Kamen, Vesely Uval, the rocks on the Iset River near Cherdantsevo, Rudnik Rodonit, Abramovsky Razrez, and Sysert Pine Forest. These names refer to several distinct nature-related sites to consider when choosing the focus of your trip. In addition to named stones and rocks, they include Rudnik Rodonit, Abramovsky Razrez, and Sysert Pine Forest.
Walks on Ecological Trails
Bazhovskie Mesta Nature Park has developed ecological trails for walking and recreation. This means that, alongside choosing individual natural monuments, you can also opt for an activity centered on walking the trails. If you would like to focus your stay on walks, you can consider these paths as a separate way to plan your trip.
Routes and Culture in Sverdlovsk Oblast
As a broader regional context, Sverdlovsk Oblast offers additional route options. Sysertskaya Sotnya is a circular cycling and hiking route in the south of Sverdlovsk Oblast. It connects eight settlements: Sysert, Verkhnyaya Sysert, Kosmakova, Shchelkun, Abramovo, the holiday village of Zapovednik, Kadnikovo, and Kashino. Unlike a selection of individual natural monuments, this route centers on its circular layout, two ways of traveling, and the connections between the settlements listed. In a regional comparison, Sysertskaya Sotnya, a cycling and hiking route, should be distinguished from the approved motor-tourism routes.
One cultural attraction in Sverdlovsk Oblast is the Museum Complex of Military and Civilian Equipment in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. Its collection comprises more than 15,000 exhibits, including more than 2,000 items of civilian and military equipment. The collection includes military, civilian, railway, and mining equipment. Collection figures may change over time. Thus, in addition to nature and routes, Sverdlovsk Oblast offers technology and its various applications as a travel theme.
A list of approved motor-tourism routes in Sverdlovsk Oblast, published in 2026, includes the Demidov Route between Yekaterinburg, Nevyansk, and Nizhny Tagil, and “Discovering the Urals: Nature, History, Legends” between Yekaterinburg, Irbit, Turinsk, and Tavda. The first route lists three stops, and the second lists four. The two routes therefore differ in the places listed for each. Check route information before setting off, as road conditions may change.
