Concept for the development of tourist routes “Walks along Tarusa”

Tarusa residents, administration, local entrepreneurs and professionals work together on the development of Tarusa

In 2018, a comprehensive improvement project was selected in the course of public discussions. Tourist routes “Walks around Tarusa”

Lack of railway connection with Moscow allowed Tarusa to avoid industrialization and preserve unique landscapes.
Today Tarusa is an architectural and natural reserve

The confluence of the Tarusa and Oka rivers, active topography with ravines are important landscape elements of the city

Picturesque landscapes and isolation from Moscow made Tarusa also a “cultural” reserve

The city is “divided” into old and new parts. Kurgan microdistrict is a new neighborhood (70s of the 20th c.) in the southwest of the city

Tarusa is remarkable for the architectural monuments of the 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as houses where great poets, writers, artists lived

Due to its uniquely preserved appearance - most of the buildings are one-storied, built in the 19th 19th century - the city has the status of a natural and architectural reserve.

Anatoly Vinogradov, Marina and Anastasia Tsvetaeva, Boris Pilniak, Ivan Kasatkin, Konstantin Paustovsky, Nikolai Zabolotsky, Nikolai Bogdanov, Lev Krivenko, Yuri Kazakov, Sergei Krutilin, Alexei Shemetov, Sergei Mikheenkov, Anatoly Salutsky lived here. Leonid Borodin, Bulat Okudzhava, Yuri Vlasov, Valentin Volkov and many others were frequent visitors.

In the early 1970s, the city became a favorite haunt of dissidents. The tradition of the 101st kilometer also continued. Joseph Brodsky lived here while waiting for a visa to leave the USSR; Alexander Ginzburg, the author of the sensational samizdat collection White Pages, and Solzhenitsyn visited the town; and Svyatoslav Richter built a dacha here.

The town attracted many cultural figures looking for a quiet, semi-rural life. In the 1890s, a mass of landscape painters poured into the town for the unusual picturesqueness of its streets and neighborhoods. The first wave of intellectuals who came to Tarusa included the Polenovs, Tsvetaevs, Borisov-Musatov, Vatagin, and Vinogradovs.

Since the end of the XIX century, thanks to its scenic beauty, Tarusa became a popular vacation spot. In the beginning of the XX century, as they say, with the easy hand of artists Vasily Polenov and V. A. Vatagin it was called “Russian Barbizon”. A. Vatagin nicknamed it “the Russian Barbizon”.

Within the city the city is connected by the main road - Lenina St., however, it should be noted that practically the whole city has pedestrian connectivity within 30 minutes. The main points selected for favoring are within walking distance for most of the city.

The existing public transport routes provide intercity transport communication with the following cities: Moscow, Kaluga, Nekrasovo, Voznesenye, Alekino, Baryatino, Kremenki, Serpukhov, Protvino.

It is necessary to improve the existing infrastructure in Tarus (drainage system, lighting, waste storage system. roads, etc.).

Architectural concept of the Tourist routes “Walks along Tarusa”
