Cycling day trip from Novosilikatnyy to Barnaul

Looking for a scenic ride into the heart of Barnaul? This 22.5 km route starts from the peaceful settlement of Novosilikatnyy and makes its way into the bustling regional center of Barnaul. You'll experience nice rolling terrain, with moderate climbs and descents—nothing too intense for a relaxed outing.

The surfaces are a mix: about a third on smooth asphalt and paved roads, while the rest will have you pedaling over gravel and a bit of ground—so consider bringing a bike with some sturdy tires. Most of your ride is on quiet or access roads, so you can enjoy the countryside vibes before merging into the city traffic as you approach Barnaul.

Novosilikatnyy is a calm, green suburb, perfect for a peaceful start. By the time you roll into Barnaul, you’re entering one of western Siberia’s major cities, home to universities, lively squares, and the gorgeous Ob River. Grab a coffee in the city center to celebrate your journey!
