The ferry in Novoselovo connects the shores of the Krasnoyarsk Reservoir. It carries vehicles and pedestrians to settlements on the right bank. This makes it a useful point of reference if your route crosses the reservoir. Schedules and service may vary; check the details before continuing your journey if your plans depend on the crossing.

To reach Anashensky Bor, travel from Krasnoyarsk via Novoselovo, take the ferry to the right bank of the reservoir, and continue toward Anash and the beaches. Ferry schedules and possible waiting times may vary, so do not treat this leg as a fixed, predictable period of time.

At the ferry landing, a granite memorial stone commemorates the flooded villages and settlements of Novoselovo District. The stone depicts a map of the Yenisei’s former course. The memorial thus brings together the memory of several flooded places and the river’s former course.

Next to the landing is a memorial cross for the village of Ovtsevod, which was flooded during the construction of the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station. While the granite memorial stone is dedicated to the district’s flooded villages and settlements, the cross specifically commemorates this one village.

Another memorial site is the monument to K. U. Chernenko in a square next to the district cultural center. It consists of a bronze bust on a granite, cuboid pedestal. In the early 1990s, the monument was moved to its present location, where it remains today.

In the broader destination of Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Shushenskoye Historical and Ethnographic Museum-Reserve offers a different cultural focus. It recreates a Siberian village from the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Russian Empire. The grounds contain 194 architectural monuments of rural architecture. The many wooden buildings include peasant houses, a merchant’s house, a forge, and an ostrog prison.

In 2011, the architectural and ethnographic complex “Novaya Derevnya,” with a nature and landscape park, opened on the museum-reserve grounds. Museum programs include sampling peasant dishes, getting an introduction to traditional crafts, and taking part in games, customs, and festivals. Check which programs are currently available before your trip.

One of the region’s natural attractions is Krasnoyarskie Stolby National Park. The main routes are marked at the eastern entrance; a chosen route can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a full day. The “Krasnoyarsky Khayking” mobile app makes it easier to find your way. For a specific time estimate, the round trip from the eastern entrance to Takmak Rock is about 4 km and takes three hours.
