Quick ride by bicycle from Izhevsk to Khokhryaki

Get ready for a scenic ride from Izhevsk to Khokhryaki! Starting in Izhevsk—the vibrant capital of Udmurtia and home of the legendary Kalashnikov rifle—you’ll head out northeast for about 16 km, cruising through a nice blend of city and countryside. Be prepared for a bit of a mix under your wheels: while about a fifth of the way is asphalt or paving stones, you’ll also find yourself on quieter access roads and the occasional rougher patch, so a hybrid or gravel bike is your friend here.

You’ll enjoy gentle ups and downs (with around 146 meters of gradual ascent and descent)—nothing too crazy, but enough to keep things interesting. As you pedal closer to Khokhryaki, surrounded by calm, rural landscapes, you’ll get a refreshing break from city buzz. Khokhryaki is a peaceful village setting—a real contrast to bustling Izhevsk—so plan a relaxed finish. Pack some snacks (and maybe a spare tube), and enjoy this quick escape that links city history with a taste of the countryside!
