A guided tour of the complete history of the Ural's heavy machinery industry. From groundbreaking and factory construction to the present, with an emphasis on the contribution of tank construction to the victory in the war. And it is free of charge.

Lake Turgoyak can be accessed from the town Miass with marshrutka nr.391. Quick, convenient and cheap.
The lake is frozen during the winter months and offers a superb view. You can walk over to the island "Cajka" and "Vera". On island "Vera", there are caves and ruins of a monastery.
In spite of the cold, you will see fanatic winter fishermen and people getting water from the lake through holes. The water is believed to be pure, but during summer months -as I was told - pollution, rubbish appears thanks to the greater number of tourists.

We travelled Chelyabinsk due to this lake as an meteor site as well delaying Yekaterinburg from Moscow adding 100's of extra miles ... It was 5 mins drive in the dark woods beside the highway almost 50km prior to Chelyabinsk. We take a drive around the lake which was heavily fenced n thought of a private club n left, later find that it was the same meteor site we were looking for with broken windows...

Peaceful park area in the centre of Chelyabinsk city. This is a nice place to go to forget that you're in the centre of a large city, with its traffic, pollution etc. You can walk around the green forested areas, chill out by the Fountain (or climb in, if it's hot), watch the wildlife (tame squirrels, birds) or visit the theme park. Stalls for food and drink around.
5. Chelyabinsk Museum of Regional Studies

Visited this Museum to try and get a sense of the history if the area. It has different sections on Modern HIstory (particularly the October Revolution and second world war and consequent rise of industry). However there are also really interesting Sections on the history of the confluence of different ethnic groups in the area, including clothing and social history. There were also exhibits about the natural history of the area including: geology, flora, animals, etc. Much of the information is also translated in English. Finally a section on stoneage history (though this was did not has translated curator notes).
I think we had also bought a ticket for the Gallery (not sure) at any rate we saw some art and also a number of photo Exhibitions of contemporary photography.

8. Taganai National Park

Reviewed By wittszilvi - Budapest, Hungary
I joined in a tour organised by a Miass based tour agency "Горизонты Урала". We were nine in the group and went for a hike to one of the view points. (Двухглавная сопка) The weather was very cold in the morning (-25C), but during the day it warmed up to -12C. Apropriate clothing, good footwear strongly advaced. Upon entering the National Park, registration is needed. It is also possible to rent a room/place to sleep in the territory of the park. The paths were well maintained, it was possible to proceed even if the snow was deep beside the paths.
One of the drawbacks is, that the toilet at the resting place was not looked after. It was a traditional wooden toilet in the "open", but they forgot to dig a new hole after this filled up. No alternatives were offered. Though, it was possible to leave backpacks and excess weight by the resting place before the "summit" walk. All in all, a very good experience and strongly adviced to nature lovers.

One out of the many nicely looking Iron statues at Kirova street. The story a local told me (I couldn't confirm whether it's true) is that the local government was collecting money for the refurbishment of the newly created pedestrian area. A bank decided as one of the only shops not to donate any money, which is why the city government decided to put the iron beggar in front of their entrance. Certainly a funny idea.

Lovely place would please anybody. Fresh air, lots of adventurous things to do, and a variety of food to get. Bring your family, friends, or enjoy it it by yourself. We especially loved "Lesnoy extreme" (good for any age!)
