Quick ride by bicycle from Tula to Mendeleyevskiy

Tula to Mendeleyevskiy Cycling Route

Set off from the historic heart of Tula, famous for its samovars and as the birthplace of legendary author Leo Tolstoy. Your ride heads south, covering just over 14 km with mostly gentle grades; there’s a steady climb early on, but trust us, those 200 meters of ascent are nothing to be scared of. The roads are mainly quiet and paved, giving you a laid-back journey—perfect for soaking in the rural scenery and escaping urban bustle.

The route winds through peaceful roads and a splash of countryside before you roll into Mendeleyevskiy. Named, of course, after Dmitri Mendeleev (the creator of the periodic table), this mellow neighborhood is a great spot to relax and stretch your legs at the end of your ride. With mostly smooth asphalt under your tires and very little traffic, this is a great choice for an everyday ride or an easy-paced weekend outing. Don’t forget to grab a snack in Tula before you go—the ride may be short, but you’ve earned it!
