Scenic route in the village of Ostrov

It's easier to travel by bike around Moscow than in the city. There are fewer cars and more picturesque views that delight the eye. We suggest starting a "light tour" from a small village of the Island, located just 5 kilometers from the Moscow ring road, on a moderate elevation in the floodplain of the Moscow River. It is located on 10 km of Kashirskoye highway, from large settlements nearby it is possible to note Lytkarino. There are quite a lot of objects to explore, among them - a tent church built over 4 centuries ago, and a stable house, the former part of the Orlovs' manor.

Almost pristine beauty is distinguished by the local nature, the gyrus of the river, hilly terrain, linden parks and even a rural cemetery. You can get to the Island by bicycle through the Mamonovo cemetery and pond, and then straight through the cornfield. In the place you can see the sources of the Berezhenka River, a picturesque and shallow stream that flows rapidly among forest thickets. Here is a small pond of round shape, which almost completely overgrown with mud during the summer.

In the footsteps of the Emperor Napoleon

The bike routes of Moscow and Moscow region differ quite strongly. Capital trips resemble original excursions, meaning acquaintance with the history of the city, unusual architecture, elegance and luxury. The city route along the streets of Maroseyka and Pokrovka is very popular. During the war of 1812, during the capture of Moscow by Napoleon, it was here that the central part of the capital was located. The route of your traffic will look like this:

• Pokrovka, 4. The house of the princes Dolgoruky. The mansion was built in the XVII century in the popular architectural direction of baroque.
• Maroseika, 17. Embassy of Belarus. The building was erected at the end of the 18th century at the junction of two architectural decisions, baroque and classicism.
• Armenian lane. All buildings represent a significant historical value. The most interesting is the building of the Institute of Oriental Languages, whose students were Turgenev and Stanislavsky.
• Bolshaya Lubyanka, 14. The Chamber of Dmitry Pozharsky.
• Completion of the route - at Maroseyka, 2. Earlier, there was one of the oldest churches in Moscow, named after the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin.

How to spend time in the open air?

The cycling routes of the Moscow region are a great opportunity to spend a day outdoors, outdoors. Such a decision may appeal to amateur tourists. How nice to come far into the forest and stay overnight with tents to enjoy the fabulous charm of the night by the fire, play guitar songs, tell terrible stories to each other and enjoy baked potatoes! To twist the pedals outside the city was even more interesting, combine this occupation with the collection of berries, mushrooms or autumn herbarium.

Where else can you get directions?

If the bike routes of the Moscow region seem too complicated for you because of their considerable distance, pay attention to the local parks. Good paths for high-speed driving are laid on Vorobyovy Gory, in Bitza and Krylatskoe, at VDNKh, in the park of the 850th anniversary of Moscow, in the Marino district.
