Cycling day trip from Novosibirsk to Krasnoobsk

Ready for a ride from the heart of Siberia’s bustling Novosibirsk to the quieter oasis of Krasnoobsk? This roughly 27 km route takes you south out of Novosibirsk, Russia’s third-largest city—famous for its vibrant culture and beautiful riverfront—then glides you through mixed urban, suburban, and countryside vibes.

Along the way, you’ll see the cityscape gradually fade into more open spaces and greenery. The roads are mostly paved (expect a mix of asphalt and classic pavement), and you’ll spend time rolling along quiet streets and access roads, with only short stretches of busy traffic. There’s a gentle climb here and there, but you finish lower than you started—so the ride feels rewarding toward the end.

Krasnoobsk greets you with a more laid-back, green atmosphere; it’s known for its agricultural research centers and calm surroundings, making it a nice contrast to Novosibirsk’s buzz. Perfect for anyone who wants to escape the city for a while and enjoy a smooth ride with some fresh Siberian air!
