Tomsk Region

Tomsk is one of the largest cities in Western Siberia, an industrial and scientific center. It is particularly interesting to explore the city’s wooden architecture of the 19th and early 20th centuries: you can see buildings in a variety of styles: classicism, Siberian baroque, art nouveau and others.

The main part of the Vasyugan swamps is located in Tomsk Region - a unique and huge ecosystem that is constantly growing.

Adventures
Увязнуть в Васюганском болоте
One step and your foot goes under the water up to your ankles and then up to your knees. You feel something stopping you from going deeper - a crumpled “mattress” from grass and moss, but it also is about to break through and then you will sink down to your chest for sure. Every once in a while, you get out on a thick mossy island and begin to spring on it like on a trampoline. It feels strange: you try to jump up, but the moss is gripping your feet, not letting you go further.
