Discover Polazna

• The Museum of Antiquities in Polazna displays a collection of objects from the pre-Soviet and Soviet periods.
• The ethnographic hall “Izba” opened at the local history museum in Polazna.

The collection at the Museum of Antiquities includes a variety of objects: work equipment, household items, crockery, furnishings, and tools. It brings together objects from different areas of everyday life and practical activities. The collection spans the pre-Soviet and Soviet periods. Visitors interested in this collection will find a differently defined focus at the local history museum, where the ethnographic hall “Izba” opened. The collection, defined by its objects and time periods, and the ethnographic hall can therefore be viewed as distinct cultural themes in Polazna.

The “To the Summit of Northern Baseg” excursion route is located in the Basegi Nature Reserve in Perm Krai. The circular route is 11 kilometers long; including the guided tour and rest breaks, it takes five to eight hours. The excursion season runs from June to October. Check the current arrangements with the nature reserve before planning your visit.

The route starts at the checkpoint by the Schastlivy ranger station. The hike covers 3,700 meters through taiga forest, or the mountain forest zone, and about 300 meters across mountain meadows. These details provide several concrete points to help you plan: the seasonal timeframe, the duration, and the landscapes along the route. Basegi also has an excursion route called “To the Summit of Southern Baseg.”

The Basegi Nature Reserve visitor center includes a small museum exhibition on the flora and fauna of Perm Krai. Environmental education discussions and lectures, as well as quizzes and games featuring films and multimedia presentations, are also held regularly. This offers a different way to learn about nature than the excursion route: the visitor center focuses on its exhibition and events, while the route is a multi-hour tour with a guided tour and rest breaks.

Culture and activities are also represented by other attractions in Perm Krai. Khokhlovka is the Urals’ first open-air architectural and ethnographic museum of wooden architecture. The year-round Gubakha resort is located on Mount Krestovaya in the city of Gubakha. Seven groomed trails are open there, and eleven slopes are designated for freeriders. This number may change. The examples have distinct focuses: wooden architecture, a resort with ski trails, or the nature and environmental education offerings in Basegi. You can start by looking for the topic that matters most to your travel plans.
