Introducing Taganay National Park
Descriptions of Taganay as the 'Russian Switzerland' are - again - a bit exaggerated, but the park's forested mountains and rocky protrusions are nonetheless splendid. The most convenient starting point for walking in Taganay is the steel town Zlatoust. If you need to stay in town, the lakeside Hotel Taganay(3513-651 225; pr 30 let Pobedy 7; r R700-900; ) is accessible by bus 14.

The national park is dangerous to explore without a guide, as it is not well marked. Ural Expeditions & Tours offers English-language guided hiking trips in the park, ranging from one day to one week. Otherwise, contact the park rangers' office(3153-637 688) in advance.
