Places for a photo shoot, walk and picnic. We tell you how to fall in love with autumn and spend the weekend in a way that will make your friends and followers on social networks jealous
In autumn, you begin to truly appreciate good weather and the opportunity to spend time outdoors. In the next few days, weather forecasters promise (if they are not deceiving again) sun and temperatures above 20 degrees. Tolk and the mobile operator Tele2 have compiled a guide to the fun and unfrequented places of Barnaul, where you can have a great time and take pictures that will definitely get a lot of likes on social networks.
Wild beach next to the Barnaulsky sanatorium
In autumn, in the area of the Barnaulsky sanatorium and the Lisavenko arboretum, the Ob becomes very shallow. And a huge sandy beach appears where you can have a picnic and have a photo shoot. Photos and videos can be immediately posted online - the Internet connection here is excellent, better than wi-fi in some establishments in Barnaul. Tele2, for example, improved coverage in Barnaul in the first half of the year, concentrating on the suburbs and holiday villages. Thus, 11 new 4G base stations were built in the vicinity of Barnaul, which allowed residents to stay online.
The beach of the shallow Ob is ideal for large groups. Firstly, you still have to walk to the beach (the road is not terrible, but long), and secondly, since the place is quite wild, it will be a little uncomfortable for one or two people here.

But at your disposal is a long sand spit, picturesque landscapes and huge space for active games: badminton, volleyball, or other mobility.
If you want to have a picnic and make a fire, you will have to carry firewood with you. Also, take trash bags with you: there are no trash cans here and no one cleans the area, just everyone does it for themselves.
Ob embankment
The embankment is connected by a wide staircase to Nagorny Park. You can climb along it to the giant letters “Barnaul”.
Here you can relax, admire the Ob River and the panorama of the city. There is a cafe, benches, shade canopies, lanterns and flowerpots. Festive events are also held on the embankment. Nearby is the River Station, where you can book a boat trip.
Barnaul Arboretum named after. Lisavenko
The second half of September is ideal for walking around the arboretum. The huge park contains a unique collection of shrubs, trees and flowers for Siberia. For example, now is not too late to admire roses that are actively blooming.
There are also two small but colorful ponds, huge oak and spruce trees, a linden alley, cozy gazebos and an old, but very “Instagrammable” staircase.
Entrance to the territory of the arboretum is paid, but the ticket costs symbolic money, and you can walk here all day. Especially in the fall, when the trees become colorful and the leaves have not even thought of falling.

Also in the arboretum you can visit the observation deck, which offers a magnificent panorama of the river and the right bank of the Ob. Shoot stories, go live or make video calls to show this beauty online.
Urban Adventures
Barnaul
According to documents, the city was founded in 1739, during the construction of a copper and silver smelter. You can still walk through the historical ruins - various excursions are available. But this is only a small part of what you can learn about the history of the city. Barnaul is rightfully considered the cultural heritage of Russia, and museum lovers are in for a pleasant surprise here. The sightseeing map will look like this:
Nagorny Park
Staircase of Nagorny Park
A huge territory of 14 hectares is washed on both sides by the main rivers - Barnaulka and Ob. Fans of the plant world will appreciate the work of those who laid out the spreading alleys of fir, spruce, cedar, and walnut trees, and combined them with fruit plantings. Here you can admire the surface of the water, and also appreciate the scale of the New Bridge from the outside - this attraction has already acquired mysticism and urban legends. At the moment, active reconstruction of the park is underway, the famous zigzag staircase is being restored.
Address: Russia, Barnaul, st. Mamontova, 19
Mountain pharmacy
Mountain Pharmacy Museum
Connoisseurs of architectural monuments will appreciate the small one-story building, built in the 18th century in the classicist style. Now the building houses pharmacies - people from all over the country came to them to purchase herbal infusions and medicinal tinctures. There is also a museum - it hosts pharmacological exhibitions, which are best visited with a guide.
Address: Russia, Barnaul, st. Polzunova, 42
Altai Museum of Local Lore
Among the attractions of Barnaul and the Altai region, this is one of the most important places. It was organized by mining engineer and inventor P.K. Frolov together with Friedrich Gebler, a 19th century Altai explorer. This was the very first museum in Siberia, at the moment it has historical status. In the halls of the restored building you can see collections of mining, stone products and local history exhibits that tell about the history of the region.
Address: Russia, Barnaul, st. Polzunova, 46
Intercession Cathedral
Intercession Cathedral
A shrine of the region, a symbol of the Orthodox faith and spirituality. The attraction was built in 1898% and consecrated in 1908. The cathedral was built in the traditions of the neo-Byzantine style. It’s worth going there even without religious considerations - to get acquainted with the works of the best masters of the academic school. The cathedral often organizes excursions.

Monuments
Barnaul
There are quite a lot of monuments in the city. Among them is a monument to Viktor Tsoi, a life-size T-34 tank and a beautiful memorial to settlers in Altai. On the way, you can look at the architecture of the famous convent, the Znamensky Church and the Church of St. Seraphim of Sarov.
The architecture of the city is strongly reminiscent of the streets of St. Petersburg. Therefore, a walk along the cozy streets will bring a lot of positive emotions. For those who come with children, another attraction will help to take their mind off historical values – a large-scale zoo. It features predators, primates, ungulates and birds. In addition, a contact department with pets was built on its basis. The ostrich farm will bring even more emotions - here you can feed the birds directly from your hands, ride a donkey, and communicate with its affectionate and friendly inhabitants.
Nagorny Park and Malo-Tobolskaya
Which Barnaul resident doesn't love this place? The landscaped area of VDNKh Park and the embankment turns into almost the most popular walking place on weekends. A gorgeous view of the city, the opportunity to go down to the river, feed the squirrels and in 15 minutes walk to the pedestrian street - Malo-Tobolskaya.
In the warm season, the “Barnaul Arbat” is constantly in full swing with life: live music, dancing, the opportunity to sit in the summer cafes of numerous establishments, or just take tea with you (for example, sea buckthorn or lime) and take a walk to the city center.

TOP 5 beauties of the region
Nature lovers should venture beyond the hustle and bustle of the city. To do this, you can rent a car in the city - with or without a driver. You can travel with tents (if the time is chosen correctly) or as part of an excursion group. Altai Territory has a good tourism infrastructure. At all notable points there are tourist centers and hotels of different price categories. Camping definitely won't get wild.
List of places you can visit by car:
Seminsky pass
Seminsky pass
You can feel the vastness of the region from the observation deck; it’s worth going to it early in the morning. The attraction is located not far from civilization. Here you can take a break from everyday life - enjoy the views from the site itself, go to the lake nearby and meditate under the smells of Altai medicinal herbs. It is worth noting that the Chuysky Trakt pass is located at an altitude of 583 km. The climb here is straight and takes 9 km, so be prepared for some ear pain.
Address: Russia, Barnaul, prosp. Lenina, 29/72.
Devil's Finger Mountain
Devil's Finger Mountain
This is a high rocky ledge from which you will have an unsurpassed view of the Katun Valley, and with it the entire Altai. Esotericists believe: those who visit its peak will be recharged with energy, and those in need will be able to be cured of infertility. The attraction keeps many legends. The most famous one says that the mountain is the finger of a villain named Cherto. And the Moon itself drove him into the ground.
Address: Russia, Altai region, Altai region, village of Katun.
Chike-Taman pass

In addition to the observation deck with beautiful views, you can see the monument to the builders of the Chuysky tract, the geyser lake and the Kur-Kechu tract.
Address: Russia, R-256 Chuisky tract.
Lake Teletskoye

Just don’t forget to get a pass - they are checked by the Altai State Natural Biosphere Reserve.
Address: Russia, Barnaul, Severo-Zapadnaya street, 155A.
Multinskie lakes
Multinskoye Lake
The last of the classic list for tourists. There are five such lakes in total, and three are enough to visit without tents and a thermos. This attraction is a paradise for unity with nature. Pass the water cascade “Multinsky Noises”, which is located between the Lower and Middle Lakes, and you will get to the beautiful and clean Upper Lake. It is located on the territory of the Katunsky Nature Reserve. Worth thinking about a vacation!
Address: Russia, Zamulta village, Novaya street, 4
Extreme Altai
Mount Belukha
Those who prefer extreme recreation can go further and overcome the most breathtaking serpentine of the Katu-Yaryk pass. The average slope of the road is 10° - with a slope gradient of 35°. The attraction includes 9 turns, which fit into just 3.9 km of road. And for inveterate climbers, climbing Mount Belukha is suitable. Its height is 4506 meters. Only at the top will you be able to see blue lakes and unique plants listed in the Red Book. But be careful - the climb takes 2 days, and even in summer you can get snowed here.
It is quite difficult to meet a person who, after traveling to Altai, would not want to return again. The Altai region is home to cascades of rivers, historical monuments, mountain peaks and crazy passes. It is impossible to cover all the sights in a short vacation, so you can and even need to return! Here you want to wake up at dawn, wash your face with ice-cold water from the lake and go hiking. Don't ignore this desire. The region will charge you with energy, give you health and lure you with its aesthetics.

Raid on summer verandas
While it’s warm, you need to have time to drink coffee or tea on the summer verandas of Barnaul establishments. Siberians will no longer have such an opportunity, perhaps until May 2022.
Many cafes and restaurants have not yet rolled up their summer clothes, and those who are afraid of freezing are given blankets. What could be better than a leisurely and warm evening in your favorite cafe with loved ones. Perhaps these are the memories that warm you in winter no worse than a warm down jacket.
In the city itself, there will be no problems with the Internet either - you can post your own photos and look at other people’s. Back in March, the Main Radio Frequency Center examined Internet speed in Barnaul. The speeds of different operators ranged from eight to ten megabits per second, and the fastest was Tele2 - more than 10 megabits per second for downloading and 2.5 for transmission. Since then, Tele2 has increased Internet speeds by expanding its 4G frequency band and placing additional equipment on city communication towers.
Zero kilometer
Located opposite the regional government building. This is a place for walking, decorated with large flower beds and two fountains. There are benches. Here you can ride bicycles and rollerblades and have a good time with your family. And also take a photo at the “Zero Kilometer” itself - a beautiful exhibition with a vase and floor mosaic in the form of Zodiac signs.

A trip on a motor ship or boat
Take warm clothes just in case, tea in a thermos and food for a picnic and take a walk on the water on a boat or boat.
The walk will take a couple of hours, and there will be enough impressions for a year ahead. Looking at the city from an unusual angle, breathing in fresh air, taking photos, videos and editing a video for social networks is perhaps the ideal option for a perfect weekend.
