Tomsk oblast

General info

Tomsk Oblast is a genuinely Siberian region, a kingdom of well-trodden paths and mysterious mashes, freak with numerous rivers and hiding under the cover of wood mysteries of ancient Samoyedic peoples. Impassable taiga forest is a calling card of the region. Tomsk Oblast is covered even not with the ”sea”, but with “green ocean” of taiga. Local forest is one of the main industrial and tourist deposits of the region. The region is home for an elk, bear, falcon, Thai mole, sable, blue nightingale, squirrel and many other animals from the Red Data Book. Taiga forest of Tomsk is a real paradise for a hunter, a mushroomer, a fisherman or just for a tourist full of adventurism or aspiration for nature solitude. The visiting card number two of the region is widely known swamps called Vasuganskie marshy areas.

All the green territory of taiga in Tomsk Oblast, which in some areas is dotted with pearls of lakes, is diagonally divided into two parts by the main river of West Siberia – the Ob River.

The ancestor of modern Tomsk Oblast is Tomsk Gubernia founded in 1804. Long ago a large region, having united the territories of modern AltaiKrasnoyarsk regionNovosibirsk oblast and Kemerovo Oblast is now 

represented only by one fifth of the primary territory.

The centre of the region is Tomsk city. In this ancient Siberian town remote past is amazingly intertwined with up-to-dateness. Wooden lace of ancient towers can be found in close vicinity of high-technology research complexes, as from Tomsk city the mastering of East Siberia began as well as nuclear energetics of trans-Ural Region. In Tomsk the main economical, educational, cultural and research centres are concentrated. You can find there one of the best classical universities of Siberia – Tomsk State University, innovative park of modern vehicle in Siberian Federal Okrug, leading medical institutions, outstanding theatres and museums.

A separate page in the history of Tomsk Oblast is a transportation net, as most part of Oblast is difficult of access and Trans-Siberian Railway, the main transport artery of Siberia, doesn’t go across the region. As a result the main way to reach the Oblast is the water way along the Ob River. So, the Ob River is a nature transition between Tomsk and Novosibirsk oblast and further with Altai region. Along the waterway the goods are transported along the river in summer and along ice surface in winter. But soon Tomsk Oblast will be crossed with northern latitude motorway.

If you really want to look at age-old Siberian wooden architecture, to get acquainted with the last achievements of high technology and after that to set off to fishing to taiga river, surrounded by old coniferous forest, than Tomsk Oblast is exactly a tourist region for you.
