Don't get lost outside Tyumen

“Guide” is another step of the magazine “Your Home” towards systematizing knowledge about the Tyumen suburb, which may be useful to the buyer of a plot of land, the future resident of a country house.

When preparing summary information on the features of nature, history, and infrastructure of the tracts, we drew information from live communication with our experts during expeditions along the “Road to Home” tracts. The content of the Guide was enriched by presentations of land projects from development companies and communication with village residents. The Zatyumen website and its director Anastasia Bannova, the head of the suburban direction of the Advex-T Academy of Sciences, publicist Ayur Erbaktanov, as well as the guide of this interactive project, professor of the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals, publicist Alexander Ivanenko helped us clarify the picture of suburban life. In the future, we plan to take the Guide beyond the magazine and present to your attention a separately published supplement.

1.
Moscow highway
Road to Yekaterinburg.

Federal highway, 4-6 lanes. Prestigious villages. Address of most new projects. Perevalovsky quarries. Educational. Dacha areas.

A.S. Ivanenko: “This federal highway runs along a plain slightly inclined to the south. The landscapes are open: the surroundings, fields, and copses are visible far away. From the south, coniferous pine forests stretch far for tens and hundreds of kilometers in all directions except the north; The Pyshma River flows about fifteen kilometers from west to east. From the north along the Tyumen-Sverdlovsk railway there are birch forests, there are a lot of mushrooms - milk mushrooms, white mushrooms. Near the station Podem there are quarries where they catch crayfish. The soils are fertile - black soil and gray forest soils. These are former fields of the Perevalovsky state farm, one of the best fields in the area. Groundwater in the Zubareva area is deep relative to the soil surface. Ecologically, the places are favorable, there are no polluting objects nearby, winds rarely blow from Tyumen.”

Main settlements: Derbyshi, Gusevo, Zubareva, Perevalovo, Ushakova, Elan, Uspenka. More details on the Zatyumen website.

Village of Perevalovo, 18th km of the Moscow highway.

Built at the end of the 17th century by the Perevalov settlers. According to local legend, five brothers - Stepan, Vasily, Evgraf, Grigory and Semyon - were exiled from Moscow and settled along the “high road” - the Moscow tract. Representatives of this family in the 18th century were among the richest people in Tyumen.

Infrastructure: trade, cafe, secondary school, cultural and leisure center, first aid station, parish of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

Uspenka village, 29 km of the Moscow highway.

The former village of Karmatskoye, or Big Karmaki. Founded at the beginning of the 17th century. In 1878, a brick church in the name of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary was erected here at the expense of parishioners. Since then, the village began to be called Uspenskoye.

Infrastructure: Assumption Hospital, comprehensive center for social services for the population of the Tyumen region. Kindergarten, secondary school, orphanage, House of culture and leisure, sports complex, museum.

2.
Irbitsky tract
Blessed antiquity.

High bank of Tura. Ancient villages. Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God. Hilly landscape. Active recreation center "Kuliga Park".

A.S. Ivanenko: “At different times this road was called differently: it was called Krasnopolyansky because it passed through a village called Krasnoe Polye. It was Turinsky, because it passed through the city of Turinsk, but the name “Irbitsky” turned out to be more enduring, because the road passed through Irbit. At one time there was a very stormy fair there, and all of Russia knew this city.

Moving towards Irbit, we can see Roshchino Airport. Airports are always built on high places, Roshchino was no exception. They and Plekhanovo were built, as they say, on the high ridge of the watershed, that is, on the place dividing the water flowing to Tura to the right, and to Pyshma to the left.

The wind here blows from the southwest most of the year. The nearest “stoker” (as Alexander Stefanovich calls industrial facilities, sources of harmful emissions. - Note from Zatyumen.ru) is in Tugulym, 80 km from here. Both Gorkovka and the airport remain on the sidelines. In summer, the wind is mainly northwest, which cools the area.”

Main NPs: Lugovoe, Kulakovo, Kamenka, Kuliga, Konyashina, Rechkina. Details are on the Zatyumen website.

The village of Kuliga, 34 km of the Irbitsky tract.

The former name was Kulizhskaya. Located in the upper reaches of the river. Kamenki. The word “kuliga” had different meanings in different places in Siberia: a large clearing in the forest, a low place flooded with water, a small river flowing from a swamp, and in the Tobolsk province this was the name for a small grove. If you look at the surroundings of Kuliga even now, then any of the listed meanings suits it: there are groves, and a river flowing from a swamp, and a clearing in the forest. Kuliga has always been a large village. In 1912, more than 500 people lived in it.

Infrastructure: FAP, Kamensky Center for Physical Education and Sports, which is located in Kuliga

Rechkina village, 49 km of the Irbitsky tract.

The village belongs to the Kamensk municipality. This is one of the oldest villages near Tyumen. It is mentioned in the Watch Book of Tyumen for 1623. Rechkina is beautifully located on the gentle slope of Tura and is originally built - compact and convenient. Residents have long been engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding - the surrounding area is free. The places near Rechkina are very beautiful. Near the village itself the Tura flows, bordered by thick willow trees. Near the village there is a mushroom and berry forest. This is the most remote village in the north-west of the region.

3.
Salairsky tract
Recreation and entertainment.

Tourist base "Verkhniy Bor". Hot Springs. Established cottage settlements. Dacha partnerships. Children's.

A.S. Ivanenko: “The Salair highway is almost never used for transit. It is laid along the high left root bank of the Tura River under the forest canopy. Coniferous forest grows along the southern edge of the Tarman swamp, stretching along the river from west to east for more than a hundred kilometers. From the high bank there are majestic views of the Turin floodplain; it is beautiful here at any time of the year. When the flood is high, the entire floodplain is filled with water—an endless sea of ​​water. The soils are poor: pine forest sands, peat bogs on the edge of the swamp. Along the tract there are hot springs, recreation centers, and the Geologist sanatorium. There are mushrooms in the forest. There are no polluting factors or emissions nearby; winds blow very rarely from Tyumen. Here is the most environmentally friendly environment near Tyumen. To the south of Tura there are pine forests and fields. There are no dust storms. There are a lot of gardening associations on the outskirts of the Tarman swamp, so closer to the weekend the road is busy to capacity with transport, it is necessary to widen the route three to four times.”

Main NPs: Bereznyaki, Verkhniy Bor, Reshetnikova, Novotarmansky, Salairka. More details on the Zatyumen website.

Reshetnikova, 16 km of the Salairsky tract.

The village belongs to the Novotarman municipality. Located at the eastern end of the lake of the same name. In documents of the 19th century, it is called “non-peasant”, since its population, about 30 people, was mainly engaged in tanning leather and sewing leather goods and shoes. Now part of the working-age population of the village works in Tyumen and at the nearby recreation centers of the Verkhny Bor. There is one farm raising livestock. In connection with the expansion of the borders of Tyumen, the village of Reshetnikova has become completely suburban: the city limits pass immediately beyond the outskirts.

Salairka, 48 km of the Salairsky tract

The village belongs to the Salair municipality. Salairka was first mentioned in ancient documents of the first quarter of the 18th century. Located on the bank of the Tura, which makes a bend here. Just above the village, the Akhmanka River, flowing from the Tarman swamps, flows into Tura. Salairka translated from Tatar means “coastal village”. To the west of Salairka, in the Tura floodplain, there is a large oxbow lake Krivoye. It is deep, poorly overgrown, and large crucian carp are caught well in it. Fishing is also good on the Tour. The forests around Salairka are rich in mushrooms, blueberries, viburnum, and bird cherry. At the end of the 19th century in these places I.Ya. Slovtsov, a famous historian and archaeologist, found the skeletons of bison and woolly rhinoceros, which lived in our region in prehistoric times.

Infrastructure: secondary school, preschool education group at the school, cultural and leisure center, first aid station, sanatorium "Geologist".

4.
Velizhansky tract.
A hunting and lake paradise.

Established dacha communities. Lipovoe Lake. Road to Nizhnyaya Tavda. Hunting, fishing, berry places.

A.S. Ivanenko: “It goes directly north from Tyumen through the Tarman swamps. Built before the First World War. It was a dusty and dirty road that was constantly drowning in quagmire. In 1973, the tract was rebuilt, straightened, and a reliable embankment was made. On the left along the road in this section are garages and summer cottages, and on the right is the North-Eastern industrial center of Tyumen. Here is a workshop of a battery plant, a SIBES plant, and another 5 or 6 “dirty” industries, which are located so that the wind carries their emissions to the Tarman swamps. There are many lakes here - large and small. The largest lakes are Sundukul, Shtakul, Yantyk. The surface area of ​​Lake Sundukul is 4-5 sq. km. It is clean, fishy, ​​and contains mainly crucian carp.

Here in the forests you can still find linden, of which, unfortunately, there are few left in the vicinity of Tyumen. Once upon a time, linden forests were actively exterminated for economic purposes. The surrounding forests are part of the green zone of the city of Tyumen, so logging is prohibited here. Because the soils are moist, forest fires rarely occur here.”

Main NP: villages of Tyunevo, Velizhany. For more details, see the Zatyumen website.

The village of Tyunevo, 26 km from Tyumen.

According to the 1897 census, the Tyunevsky settlement was called Tyunevsky huts. The village arose at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1912, it was listed as the Tyunevsky settlement, which grew into a large settlement by the 1970s. The territory (islands in the swamps) was transferred to an oil producing organization as a subsidiary farm. People drained swamps, raised livestock, and farmed. There are many summer residents and villagers working in the city. The water from the Velizhansky water intake is famous for its purity.

Infrastructure: the village has a good eleven-year school, a kindergarten, and a community center. Post office, Sberbank, Internet. First aid station.

The village of Velizhany, 48 km from Tyumen.

In archival documents, the first mention of the village of Velizhanskoye dates back to 1774. It was this year that a wooden church was built in the village. If we take into account that the path from the first small settlement to the status of a village is not short, then the birth of the village of Velizhanskoye can be safely attributed to the beginning of the 17th century. Apparently it was built almost simultaneously with the village of Perevalovo. Named after the surname of the first settler. As in other neighboring villages, people were peasants, engaged in yam farming, and weaved carpets.

Infrastructure: hospital, school, cultural center.

5.
Tobolsk tract.
Road to the North.

Federal highway to Khanty-Mansiysk. Roadside service. Historical places. Fishing on Lake Yantyk. The gentle shore of Tura.

A.S. Ivanenko: “The Tobolsk highway is a transit federal road to Khanty-Mansiysk, and the road to Kaskara has been significantly expanded. At the exit from Tyumen, the construction of a bypass road is being completed, and a bridge is being built across the Tura. It is convenient to move to other roads. As far as the village of Kaskara, the ecology is difficult: south-west winds blow here most often, carrying the air of the city and Tyumen enterprises. The road is laid along the left low bank of the Tura, the floodplain is mostly far from the road, just beyond the village of Borki. Tura approaches the highway and again goes to the right. The landscape is flat and monotonous; here and there along the road there are forest belts to protect the road from snow drifts. Beyond the village of Turaeva, the highway crosses the Tyumen-Tobolsk railway and beyond. In the Tura floodplain there are oxbow fish lakes, and in winter they are morbid. The soils are gray forest, well cultivated - in use since 1928. This is the drained southern edge of the Tarman swamp - it begins north of the highway at a distance of 2-5 km.”

Main NP: Embayevo, Kaskara, Borki, Sozonovo.

Embaevo, 18 km of the Tobolsk highway.

The village belongs to the Embaevsky municipal formation. Founded at the beginning of the 17th century by Bukharans - immigrants from the cities of Central Asia: Bukhara, Samarkand, etc. There are beautiful places in Embayevo. Apparently, one of the first settlers was called Yembai. In the middle of the 19th century, a madrasah opened in Embaevo, training clergy, and an extensive library of spiritual literature. In addition to the subjects provided for in the program, those interested were given lessons in Russian and Persian. Teachers were even invited from Istanbul to conduct classes in certain subjects. Subsequently, the madrasah merged with the Tatar national school, which opened in the 20s of the twentieth century.

Infrastructure: kindergarten, secondary school, cultural center, children's art house, sports complex, mosques, museum of Tatar culture and history, outpatient clinic.

Sozonovo, 50 km of the Tobolsk highway.

The village belongs to the Sozonovsky municipal formation. Built at the end of the 17th century by settlers from the northern part of European Russia on the steep bank of the Tura River near the Tobolsk Highway. Then the government ordered “planting on arable land,” first of all, along highways, so that passengers and convoys could move around inhabited areas. In 2005, it won the competition “The most comfortable settlement in the region.” In 2007, the village took third place in the competition “The most comfortable settlement in the region” in the category “Villages with a population of over 500 people.”

6.
Starotobolsky tract.
High bank of big water.

New land projects. Ostrich farm. Children's recreation centers. High bank of Tura. Fishing competitions.

A.S. Ivanenko: “It is laid along the right sandy high bank of the Tura River parallel to the Tobolsk Highway. This is a local dead-end road to the village of Krivodanova. Further south along Pyshma, problems arise due to a muddy road that has not yet been developed. Traffic along the highway is still light, but six to eight cottage villages are marked here, during the construction of which heavy construction equipment has every chance of breaking the thin asphalt. The road requires major renovation and expansion. The places on the highway are beautiful, dominated by open landscapes on the floodplain of the Tura River and forests. On the right, in the pine forest of Pripyshmynsky, the Andreevskaya lake system is located, from which flows the Duvan River, a tributary of the Pyshma River. At the very end of the tract, the Tura and Pyshma rivers merge. There are a lot of coniferous forests, as well as fresh air, a lot of mushrooms, which a good part of Tyumen “opens up hunting” in the fall. Dirty winds from Tyumen rarely blow here, they are carried far from here beyond Tura, there are no polluting enterprises. The villages here are Tatar, peaceful and civilized. Nice places to live."

Main NPs: Antipino, Subbotina, Esaulova, Chikcha, Yakushi, Krivodanova. See more details on the Zatyumen website.

A.S. Ivanenko: “Yalutorsky tract - New and Old Yalutorovsky tracts converge at 34 km from Tyumen (near Bogandinka). This part of the federal road is always clogged with traffic and the closer to Tyumen, the more so. In the area of ​​the village of Borovsky, on the right, on the exhausted peat and forest burnt areas, there are many gardening partnerships, ensuring the density of traffic flow, along with all-Russian cars. Cottage developments start from Vinzili, there is, for example, the Knyazhevskoe “courtyard”, and also on the left behind Bogandinka, near the former village of Filippovka. There are forests all around, there are mushrooms and berries in the forest. The air is good."

Main NP: Borovsky, Vinzili, Bogandinskoye, Bogandinsky. For more details, see: Zatyumen website.

Bogandinsky, 38 km of the Yalutorovsky tract.

The village belongs to the Boganda municipality. The modern village grew out of a small siding on the new Tyumen-Omsk railway, which initially had two houses where servants lived. In the early 1930s, the village became a place of exile for dispossessed Ukrainians. In their homeland they did not want to join collective farms, for this in Siberia they were forced to engage in timber production in a huge forest area northeast of the Tyumen-Yalutorovsk railway.

Infrastructure:

two kindergartens, four secondary schools, an art school, a center for providing educational services for adults, a culture and leisure center, a sports center, a library and information center, pharmacies, a clinic, a medical unit, an ambulance substation

On the left is Lake Lebyazhye, on the right are Big and Small Taraskul, where the Taraskul children's sanatorium is located. At the exit from the forest, the buildings of the Sibir sanatorium are visible on the left. The village of Chervishevo is on the right, founded in 1950. To the right the tract goes through the villages of Druganova, B. Akiyary, Michurina, Kostyleva, Chaplyk and exits near the village of Uspenki onto the Moscow tract. From Chervisheva, to the left, the road leads to the village of Onokhino, where the Pyshmynskaya poultry farm is located, as well as to Golovina, Knyazheva.

The places are clean, there are no pollutants. There are mushrooms and berries in the forest.”

Chernaya Rechka, 35 km of the Chervishevsky tract.

The village belongs to the Chervishevsky municipal formation. It is located 11 km from the village of Chervishevo, on the banks of the river of the same name, flowing from a swamp. The water in it is saturated with humic substances and therefore has a dark color. This is why the river got its name. The history of the village is peculiar: it was founded by the landowner Akulina Ugryumova, who moved from central Russia with her serfs. In the 1980s Chernaya Rechka was a tiny village of a few houses. It stood under a high ridge covered with coniferous forest - this is the watershed between the Bardyanka and Balda rivers. The village was decorated with a huge ancient pond, in which there was successful fishing. Now the Black River is unrecognizable. It has grown many times due to the construction of cottages for Tyumen residents.

Local grain was processed into alcohol. The villagers were engaged in crafts, weaving hair sieves. In 1982, Tyumen began building a subsidiary farm in Golovina, and the village began to renew itself. Industrial premises were erected and a street of cottages was built. We drained part of a huge swamp in the Tsynga floodplain to grow fodder crops. From the village you can drive northeast, to c. Knyazhevo and village. Bogandinsky on the Yalutorovsky tract.
