• The Manskaya Loop is a bend in the Mana, which flows around a rocky massif.
• A rocky cliff at the Manskaya Loop offers panoramic views of the river bend and the taiga.
• The access route follows the banks of the Mana for around 2.5 kilometers; at a fork, the path climbs uphill.

The Manskaya Loop refers to a river formation: here, the Mana flows around a rocky massif. From the rocky cliff at the loop, panoramic views extend over a bend in the river and the taiga. The river, rocky landscape, and forest together shape the view of this place. If you are including nature and scenery in your travel plans, you will find a specific viewpoint here, as well as a named river bend to help orient you.

The access route follows the banks of the Mana for around 2.5 kilometers. At a fork, the path then climbs uphill. The route therefore includes both a riverside section and an ascent; take both into account when planning your visit.

Along sections of the ascent to the summit of the Manskaya Loop, two stairways were built in 2020 and 2023, ropes and cables were installed, and benches were placed at two locations. The years refer to when they were built. Check current trail conditions before starting the ascent.

The wider travel destination of the Krasnoyarsk Region offers a greater variety of nature experiences. The regionally significant Ergaki Nature Park lies in the south of the region. In summer, visitors can hike and go on horseback tours there. In winter, its snow-covered slopes attract skiers and snowboarders, as well as snowmobile tours and snowshoe hikes. Ergaki illustrates the seasonal variety of nature activities in the Krasnoyarsk Region.

Another example in the Krasnoyarsk Region is Krasnoyarskie Stolby National Park. The main routes are marked at the eastern entrance; depending on the route chosen, the stated duration ranges from 30 minutes to a full day. The Krasnoyarskiy Khayking mobile app makes it easier to find your way there. One specific route runs from the eastern entrance to the Takmak rock and back: it is about four kilometers long and takes three hours. The general time range and this specified route provide different points of reference for planning walks within the national park.

The Shushenskoye Historical and Ethnographic Museum-Reserve is also part of the wider travel destination of the Krasnoyarsk Region. It is located in the settlement of the same name and presents a Siberian village from the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The site contains 194 architectural monuments of rural architecture. The many wooden buildings include farmhouses, a trading house, a smithy, and a prison ostrog.

In 2011, the Novaya Derevnya architectural and ethnographic complex, with a nature and landscape park, opened on the museum-reserve grounds. The museum-reserve’s programs present the traditions and customs of times past and offer insights into peasant life. Activities include sampling peasant food, getting a first introduction to traditional crafts, and taking part in games, customs, and celebrations. Check specific programs when planning your trip.
