Novosibirsk region is a subject of the Russian Federation. It is part of the Siberian Federal District. The administrative center is the city of Novosibirsk.
1 Novosibirsk reservoir (Ob Sea).
2 Karakansky forest.
3 Lake Chany.
4 Lake Karachi.
5 Nature reserve “Kirzinsky”.
6 Bugotaksky hills.
7 Berd rocks. Picturesque rocky outcrops on the
Berd River, which are part of the Salair Ridge, are a completely
atypical landscape for the Novosibirsk region, rather typical of the
Altai foothills. There are several rocky areas on the river, but the
most famous and visited place by tourists is the Zveroboy rock, from the
top of which there is a wonderful view of the winding Berd. The
surrounding area is covered with mixed forest with clean air, and in the
spring you can see the flowering of many different plants. There are
many wild birds and animals. You can get there by car from Novosibirsk
as follows: take the P256 highway south to Linevo, where you turn left
to the east. You can turn before reaching Linevo (the first left turn
after Evsino) - this way you will find yourself on a much lower-quality
technological road, where you can see how anthracite is transported from
the Urgunsky and Gorlovsky coal mines. Further through Guselnikovo,
Legostaevo and Malinovka you should drive to the village of
Novososedovo. In Novososedovo you need to cross the Ik River, which can
be a problem in the spring - the river overflows and floods the road
bridge (which is simply several large pipes along the river flow,
covered with crushed stone on top). However, the path can be continued
on foot across the pedestrian bridge, from which it remains about 3
kilometers to St. John’s Wort. Having almost passed the village, there
will be a right turn onto a dirt road, where there will be a wooden arch
“St. John’s Wort Ecological Trail”. It should be noted that the rocks
are located in the Legostaevsky reserve, where there are restrictions on
the passage of vehicles, making fires, organizing overnight stays,
fishing, etc. Compliance with them is sometimes monitored, but
information about the restrictions and boundaries of the reserve is not
provided.
8 Chingis village.
9 Belovsky waterfall.
10 Barsukovskaya cave.
11 Holy spring at Lozhok station (Iskitim).
12 Iskitim marble quarry.
13 Zavolokinskaya village (Novy Sharap
village, near the bridge over the Sharap river). Every two years in the
summer, 100 km from Novosibirsk along the Ordynskaya highway, the music
festival “Play, Harmony!” is held. named after Gennady Zavolokin,
harmonica player and founder of the famous TV show, who died in this
place in a car accident in 2001. Here in 2005 a chapel “In the name of
St. Gennady of Athos” was erected, and there is also a museum and a
monument to Gennady Zavolokin.
Only Russian. A traveler who doesn’t know even a little Russian will have a hard time finding someone who can speak English (especially outside Novosibirsk).
By plane
Novosibirsk is a large and important air transport hub,
where the Novosibirsk International Airport (IATA:OVB) Tolmachevo is
located.
By train
The main railway line passing through the
region is the Trans-Siberian Railway (Transsib). There are two stations:
Barabinsk and Novosibirsk. You can get to Novosibirsk from Moscow from
Yaroslavsky or Kazansky railway stations by trains traveling along the
Trans-Siberian Railway, or by branded train No. 026N Moscow-Novosibirsk
“Sibiryak” departing every other day. Travel time is less than two days,
the distance is about 3,300 kilometers.
The second main highway is
the Altai Railway, running from Novosibirsk to the south, towards
Barnaul and further to Kazakhstan.
By car
Three federal
highways pass through the region - “Baikal”: M51 and M53, “Chuysky
Tract” M52. Entry into the region is possible along the M51 highway from
Omsk, and along the M53 highway from Tomsk and Kemerovo. The Chuisky
tract connects the Novosibirsk region with Altai, and then with
Mongolia.
Maslyakha village. A village of fishermen on the border of the Novosibirsk region and the Altai region. The entire route passing through the village is lined with shopping centers where they sell fish caught in the Ob Reservoir - smoked, fresh, frozen. An excellent place to try and take with you on the road pike perch, burbot, pike, bream, or some other type of fish. In addition, the village is located in a very picturesque place on the route - a pine forest, steppe and the reservoir itself with many islands connect here.

Also in the region there are about 3 thousand freshwater, salt and bitter-salt lakes (Chany, Ubinskoye, Sartlan, etc.). The north and north-west of the region is occupied by the southern part of the world's largest Vasyugan swamp. Swamp soils account for 22.5% of the region's area, ~40 thousand km².
The climate is continental, the average January temperature ranges
from −16 in the south to −20 °C in the northern regions. The average

region’s territory. The highest percentage of forest cover is in the
southern taiga subzone (35%), where conifers (fir, spruce, pine, cedar)
dominate with an admixture of birch, aspen and rarely larch. Both the
Salair region (34%) and the region of the Ob pine forests (24%) are
characterized by increased forest cover. In the Barabinskaya Lowland
(11% forest cover) birch-aspen “splitting trees” predominate. Meadows
and pastures are mainly in the Barabinskaya lowland and along the
valleys of large rivers.

running along the Ob River. Only in 1956 was the decision “On the
establishment of new boundaries of time zones on the territory of the
USSR” made, which tied the boundaries of time zones to the boundaries of
regions and territories. Since March 1, 1957, the territory of the
Novosibirsk region was completely assigned to the 6th time zone, with a

moved to the fifth time zone (MSK+3). And on July 24, 2016, the
Novosibirsk region returned to the UTC+7 time zone.
