background
The Tomsk region was an important center of Western Siberia for a long time, but lost its importance after the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which crossed the region in the south. But with the discovery of oil at the end of the 20th century, the Tomsk Oblast received a vital injection of economic importance and recaptured part of its status as an important region of Western Siberia.
Tourists will find that the Tomsk region lives up to their Siberian expectations. It's sparsely populated, spacious, flat, wooded and yes, it gets pretty cold in winter! Its main attraction is the city of Tomsk, which is worth a detour from the Trans-Siberian Railway for its historical significance, architecture and Siberian culture.

Tourist Attractions
- In Tomsk there are more monuments of Wooden architecture in the style of Siberian baroque, art nouveau and classicism has been preserved than anywhere else in Russia. Much of this splendor has been lost for various reasons, but something has been preserved. In many quarters you can still see traditional Siberian wooden buildings, houses decorated with filigree carvings. In Tomsk, the only Siberian city, groups of several standing old wooden houses have been preserved, which are to be placed under UNESCO protection, several such groups of houses have been restored since 2004. A municipal program for the preservation of at least 701 old houses has been adopted. At the same time there is very little space left for development within the borders of Tomsk and there is almost no free space in the city center, so that the wooden buildings of the old Tomsk are being destroyed by developers who are erecting new buildings in their place, which do not always have the meet basic aesthetic requirements. There are also masterpieces of stone architecture in Tomsk, including the beginning of the XX. Century that give the city a really unique look. An order from the local administration came into effect to prohibit the construction of deliberately burned down houses on the site. It is allowed to build parks and squares in such places.
- The 1 Talovskie goblets (Таловские чаши).in the village of Basandajka there are no glasses with wine or beer, but one of the symbols of the Tomsk region. These are peculiar puddles of water with raised edges made of earth or masonry that were created in the Middle Ages. It is not known what they were used for. Many believe that they are related to artistic or religious functions. Some scholars have even linked them to local legends about the Holy Grail.
- 2 Dyswestny Klyuch (Дызвестный ключ).is a natural monument near the Lara nature reserve. Water gushes out of a crevice and forms a one and a half meter high waterfall, which then cascades down in cascades about 40 m long. The spring water flows into the Tugojakovka River.

security
You should prepare for extreme climates, especially in winter you need suitable clothing to protect yourself against the cold. It is helpful, whenever possible, to use local sources of information to be warned of floods, forest fires, etc. There are forbidden areas that you should avoid as much as possible.
Nature is very pristine and represents a danger for the inexperienced. If you are in the forest, you should watch out for snakes, which usually warm up in the sun on the stones. There aren't many of them, but some could be venomous vipers. The other problem these (and other regions of the Northern Hemisphere) have is ticks. Your bites may be infectious, vaccinations are recommended.
One should never stray further from human settlements without the appropriate equipment and leave the path, destination and intended period of the hike or rafting tour behind with every tour.
