sob- a river originating on the eastern slopes of the southern part of the Polar Urals. Sob passes through the village of Kharp.

The Sob is a left tributary of the Ob and flows into it near the village of Katrovozh.

Length 185 km, catchment area 5890 km². The river is fed mainly by snow. High water in June - July. Average long-term annual water consumption (calculated) about 50 m³/s, volume annual flow 1.5 km³. The main tributaries: on the left - Khanmei and Bolshaya Paipudyna, on the right - Orekhyogan and Haramatolu.

Tourism

The river is popular among tourists, the sources are located in the mountains. The main part of the railway line passes through the river valley, which is an operating section of the Transpolar Highway (now the Northern railway). The entire operating section of the Transpolar Highway is the Chum - Labytnangi railway line (otherwise referred to as Seida - Labytnangi, since trade operations are not carried out at the Chum station). That part of the operating section, during the construction of which the advantages of the relief of the Sob River were used, is the Yeletsskaya - Kharp stretch. Due to its good transport accessibility, it is popular with water tourists who lay routes of 1-4 categories of difficulty along it.

Route Description

Sob River (70 km down)

Sob River- the left tributary of the Ob, its length in the described section is 70 km. The rafting begins at the Sob station, where the river, having merged with Bolshaya Paipudynya, from the tundra plateau enters a narrow mountain valley (2 km) and becomes accessible for kayaks. From the station to the river 200 meters. The width of the river is 30-50 m, there are fast rocky riffles in the form of a zigzag with shallow water noses. They should be passed along the main jet, sometimes at the end of the jet there is a small clamp and shafts. Shivers, islands are frequent, the shores are overgrown with oppressed tundra forest, the slopes of the mountains are almost treeless, there are snowfields. The current is 9 km/h. The river retains this character until the village of Kharp. The rifts become more turbulent, trees hang over the water, the channel is winding, the valley narrows to 1 km.

Near the village The Harp River emerges from the mountains, bending around the Rai-Iz ridge, and then flows along a flat, slightly sloping to the southeast plain, overgrown with northern forest. Opposite the high cliff of the left bank near the village. Harp threshold begins. In some of the old reports, I met his name - "Inna". It consists of three cascades:

• 1 cascade- 150 m. There are disordered stones in the channel, standing shafts up to 1 meter. The passage is closer to the left bank or in the center of the rapid.
• 2 cascade(after 200 m) - 100 m. Oblique ramparts at the end of the rapid. Center walk.
• 3 cascade(after 500 m) - 150 m. In the center of the threshold is a stone-rock. Center walk. Large standing shafts (about 1.5 m).

1 and 3 cascades require viewing.

In the area of ​​the Yenga-Yu River, there is a stormy rift of the same name.

After the confluence of the Hanmei River, the width of the river increases to 50 m. Further, the river is monotonous, there are no obstacles, with the exception of individual stones. Sometimes on the right there is a view of the Ural Mountains, which enliven the landscape a little.

Khara-Matalou River (21 km up)

Hara-Matalou River- one of the largest and most picturesque tributaries of the Sob River. It is formed by the confluence of the Big and Small Khara-Matalou and has a length of 21 km. The river is quite difficult to climb, rapids.

We cannot describe the first three kilometers of the river, because Initially, it was planned to go with packed kayaks and backpacks along the trail along the river, and therefore we cut off the first kilometers along the old all-terrain road, swimming further than the mouth of the Khara (as tourists sometimes call it). Along the left bank there really turned out to be (as they said) a good path, but after 4 km it ended, we had to collect kayaks and raise them on a line.

At the beginning of the journey, the banks of the river are high, sandy, rocky near the water, completely overgrown. dense forest. At times there are rock outcrops.

At 4-5 km the river enters a narrow canyon-like valley.

7th km - significant obstacle - Gagarin's threshold. It may be necessary to carry the kayaks when lifting the towline.

8th km - a steep cliff on the right bank. Shivers and rifts follow each other, for 9-10 km / h.

13th km - the Makar-Ruz stream flows in from the right, which is not inferior to the river in full flow. (It must be said that it originates from the same lake as the Sob River).

About a kilometer after the confluence of the stream - Titov's threshold(carry-over). The number of rifts and rifts is increasing, along the banks there are frequent rocks. Kayaks have to be moved from time to time. water becomes less and less. Rocky shores in some places break into the water with sheer cliffs - “cheeks”, the forest noticeably thins out.

River Malaya Khara-Matalou (9 km up)

Malaya Khara-Matalou River- one of the branches that form the river. Hara-Matalou. The length of the river is 40 km. Due to the low water level and the many shivers, the rate of ascent does not exceed 1 km/h.

The mouth is littered with stones for about a kilometer, which greatly impedes movement. The first kilometers after the mouth are given relatively easily, then the depth of the river decreases significantly, “hills” appear, kayaks often have to be dragged. The width of the river is 10-15 m, the depth is 20-30 cm, the channel is replete with numerous rifts. The shores are mostly tundra, forest-tundra, the valley is narrow, there is snow on the shores.

At the 4th km, the river goes around the height on the left bank. At 7-8 km it breaks into branches, very finely. The ascent ends at the left tributary - the Onik-Shor stream. It is better to stop behind the stream, where the river comes to a height covered with forest, here less problems with firewood. The city of Pai-Er is visible ahead, against its background, on the left side, a mountain 935m looms, from there Bur-Khoila originates.

Crossing to Bur-Khoila (18 km)

During the reconnaissance of the road to Bur-Khoila, the route was corrected, and instead of the previous route (through Lake Khoyla-Ty (on the map of Khulanlor), a description can be found in the literature), a new one was chosen. This was due to a more comfortable road, with less slope and swampiness. New way entailed some lengthening of the route (both on foot and by water).part), but, as it seems to us, in the end it turned out to be more convenient and less time-consuming.

The transition starts from the Onik-Shor stream and passes along a well-trodden all-terrain road along Malaya Khara-Matalou. In addition to two or three wetlands, the road is convenient for movement. Soon, after 7-8 km, it comes out on an absolutely treeless, tundra, slightly hilly plain with separate small lakes in the visibility zone. However, they are quite far away, and along the entire length of the path, with the exception of its very end, there are no streams where one could draw water. This makes you take it with you, especially since it is difficult to overcome the transition in one day with a large load.

Approaching Bur-Khoyle, you need to force it, observing the safety rules, because. the river is very rough. Kayaks can be left on the shore, and a campsite can be chosen 100 meters from the river. Here you can fully enjoy the panorama of the Ural Range, stretching along the entire horizon. Perfectly takes a large grayling. The only thing that causes inconvenience is the lack of firewood - wherever you look, only oppressed single spruce trees break the smooth surface of the tundra.

Bur-Khoila River (25 km down)

Bur-Khoila River originates from the foothills of Mount Pai-Er, its sources are at an altitude of 878 m. The river is difficult to move. At the beginning of the movement, Bur-Khoil is shallow (depth does not exceed 0.3 m), shallow shivers and rifts follow one after another. After about 1.5 km, the first drift is a “hill” of 150 m. From the 4th km, the depth of the river increases slightly, but still you often have to jump out of the kayak to protect it from damage.

Starting from the 8th km, the river turns into a continuous chain of shallow shivers - "hills". Some of them are overcome by pushing kayaks, some are carried along the shore. (One or another method of transportation is chosen based on the possibilities of movement.) From about the same kilometer, forest-tundra appears on the banks, decreases, and soon disappears altogether, the problem of firewood. Between the "hills" the river is rapidly rushing about in a rocky-pebble channel along the shivers and rifts, not allowing you to relax.

At the 13th km there is a long "slide" ending in a stormy drain. At the 15th km, the forest-tundra changes to taiga, and the water in the river goes under a stone for a kilometer. It is desirable to enclose this site along the path along the left bank. And, finally, the 18th km is the last, two-kilometer "slide". Here, unloaded kayaks can be navigated without complete portage. At its end is a powerful long drain, complicated by numerous stones, it is interesting to pass it in a kayak.

Further, the river calms down somewhat, and on the remaining kilometers only simple shivers and rifts prevent the group from advancing, there is quite enough water for normal rafting. The descent along the Bur-Khoil ends with a “slide” in the “Pyatirechye”, before passing which an inspection is desirable.

Tan-Yu River (75 km down)

At the 42nd km from its source, the Bur-Khoila River in a section in500 m successively receives several rivers: the Left Payera, the Right Payera, the Khoylu and hereinafter referred to as Tan-Yu river. The confluence of these rivers is called "Pyatirechye". It can be called one of the most beautiful places on the route. It is worth climbing the rock opposite the confluence of the rivers to admire the panorama that opens up.

It is advisable to pass the section of the river after the “hill” before turning behind the rock after a preview, because there are several very difficult places with numerous stones. Immediately after the turn, on the left bank, you can organize a parking lot for catching grayling on the rivers and streams of Pyatirechye. (There will be less grayling downstream, and after the confluence of the Sezym-Yugan river, it will disappear altogether.)

The upper reaches of the Tan-Yu River are stormy, and although there are no pronounced rapids, its powerful rifts will bring real pleasure from the long-awaited rafting.

Rafting is desirable with an apron and life jackets (standing shafts on the riffles reach 1 m).

The most difficult obstacles are located on the section before the confluence of the Lagorta-Yu River, although the river does not lose its sports qualities for a long time. It does not make sense to look through the rifts, it is quite possible to navigate from the water. 10 minutes after the confluence of the Lagorty-Yu, on the right bank there is a hut with a bathhouse, the channel here is 50-60 m wide, the current is 7-8 km / h.

At the 24th km, the Tan-Yu receives the muddy taiga tributary Sezym-Yugan. At its confluence, its large island divides the Sezym into two channels. Here you can catch pike and perch well. It must be remembered that there is no grayling from Sezym-Yugan in the river.

Soon, on a sharp turn to the left, a good parking place appears, you should not neglect it, because. further Tan-Yu enters the swampy taiga shores, which practically do not give the opportunity to organize a normal camp. The rifts disappear altogether, and the width of the river increases to 70-80 m, the current weakens, and soon the Tan-Yu is a river slowly flowing in the monotonous swampy banks.

On the right, the Manyuko-Musyur ridge begins to peep through, open areas appear. Gradually, the channel expands to 100 or more meters, and the current practically disappears. Often bays, islands, coasts go down, instead of dense taiga - thickets of willow, alder, birch.

In front of Lake Varcha-To, on the right bank, two fishing huts have been preserved, the third was used for firewood a few years ago. (In Soviet times, on Varcha-To, a fishing artel used to catch a pizhyan to the government table.)

If the group does not plan to pass the lake on the same day, then you can spend the night in the huts, especially since there are no other convenient places for parking.

Varcha-To Lake - Varcha-Ty-Vis River (16 km)

At the 75th km, the Tan-Yu River merges almost without a current into a shallow Lake Varcha-To. On kayaks you need to pass the entire lake. The banks are low (the left bank is swampy), the depth does not exceed 1 m.

On the right, a low chain of mountains stretches rather picturesquely. It is advisable to cross the lake in calm weather, the general direction SW-W-W movements. Kayaks are best directed to a small rocky island on the left side of the lake, located approximately in the middle of the path. On the island you need to make a stop and decide how to move on. There are two options for moving forward:

1. Go along the left bank and look for the source of Varcha-Ty-Vis behind the islands covered with forest. There is a chance to make a mistake and get into a channel that flows out of the swamp and is located 200 meters to the left of the source of the river. To prevent this from happening, you need to remember about the rather strong current of Varcha-Ty-Visa.
2. Take the direction to the mountain, resembling a bell in its shape. There is a danger to miss and go to the right, then you will have to stray for a long time in search of the river.

As you can see, each option has its drawbacks, we leave the choice to the tourists. In good weather, the lake can be walked in 2 hours.

Varcha-Ty-Vis- short (11 km) river with fast current and numerous transitions. The rifts are mostly clean, uncomplicated and can be overcome along the main stream. The width of the river is 25-30 m, the banks are steep, completely overgrown with taiga. At times, mountains are visible to the right. A kilometer from the source, on the right bank, the huntsman's hut, motor boats occasionally come here from Ust-Voykar. Before flowing into Voikar, the river begins to wind strongly, the current speeds up and, finally, Varcha-Ty-Vis flows into Voikar at a right angle. At the confluence, on the right bank, there is a hut locked with a castle, here is a good place for parking. Here you can try to catch taimen, pike.

Voikar River - Lake Voikarsky Sor (65 km + 20 km)

see maps,

Voikar River - major tributary Ob, originates on the Eastern slope of the Ural Range and has a length of 140 km. Our route passes along the middle and lower sections of the river. At the confluence of the Varcha-Ty-Visa, the width of the Voikar is 70-80 m, the current is 6 km / h. From here it is 65 km to Voykarsky Sor, the banks of the river are rocky, steep at the beginning of the rafting.

Three hundred meters after the start of movement, the island divides the river into two channels. Contrary to the recommendations of previous reports, I think that it is better to pass on the left. There is more water and less stones. In the first 30 km in the channel, rifts are frequent, at first quite powerful, and at the end barely noticeable. They often end with a clamp or oblique shafts (sometimes both).

The channel gradually expands up to 100 meters, the banks go down. The current remains strong almost to the very end of the river. On the 30th km of the rafting, after the confluence of the Lambey-Yugan, a lying drilling rig is visible on the right bank. From time to time there are huts of hunters, the rifts behind Lambey-Yugan completely disappear, only occasionally there are individual stones. For 9-10 km to the village. The Yugan Gort river expands to 150-200 meters and begins to wind among the numerous islands. On these islands you can organize excellent parking. The shores here are already clayey, clayey-sandy, sometimes there are outcrops of stones near the water.

In the village of Yugan-Gort (on the Vershina-Voykar map), 2-3 residential buildings have been preserved, the rest have been boarded up. You can’t buy products, the store is only in the village. Ust-Voykar.

Lake Voykarsky Sor. It is necessary to pass only in absolutely calm weather. The lake is very shallow, its depth in the middle part does not exceed 0.5 m, which causes steep chaotic waves. From the village you need to keep to the left bank, at the entrance to Sor there is a tent and a hut of reindeer herders. Entering the lake, depending on the water level, you either need to look for a fairway, or move to the cape, which is called Deciduous. On the cape it is desirable to make a day, here is a great place to relax. From here you can see another cape, behind it is the village of Ust-Voykar. The hike ends in the village of Ust-Voykar, from where you can get to the large village of Shurushkara and further to Salekhard by passing transport.

It is possible to lengthen the active part of the route due to independent rafting along the Malaya Gornaya Ob - one of the branches of the Ob River - to the village of Shurushkara.

Water trip along the Sob River in the Polar Urals. Sob - Harp - Katrovozh. 17 – 31 July 2014.

Members: married couple- Oleg and Galina, two "guard" dogs - Lada and Roma.

Watercraft: kayak "Svir"

Our hike can be clearly divided into two parts: before Harp and after Harp. Although the distance from the Sob station to the village of Kharp is 46 km, and from Kharp to the village of Katrovozh is more than 110 km, we devoted a week to each part.

Part 1: st. Sob - Kharp.

In this part, the Sob flows among the most beautiful mountains of the north of the Ural Range. It is not wide, there are many pebble islands, shoals and channels. There are no problems with parking, you can stop on pebble beaches and in cozy clearings in the adjacent forest. The forest consists mainly of larches and birches. There were whole fields of dwarf birches. Flowers grow.

We forgot about darkness. At the first two stops somewhere at one o'clock in the morning, locally, they simultaneously admired the sunset in the west and the dawn in the east. There were gorgeous sunsets on Raiza.

The Ural met us with coolness (about 10 degrees), but then it got warmer. There was only one rain, and that one at night. There were no midges and midges, but there were influxes of mosquitoes.
Having read that the Sob is a simple river, and having passed several rifts, we finally relaxed and lost respect for the Sob. And the rivers do not forgive. The result was not long in coming: a strong current, a sharp turn, pressure and, as a result, overkill. Having given us a “click on the nose”, Sob had mercy on us. We "turned on" the sun, the breeze.

0 0

There was a parking lot nearby. Judging by its condition, they roam here with enviable regularity. We only lost the dog collar. Even the paddle I missed was found after a couple of hours. Then we sailed very carefully, preferring small channels to clamps.

0 0

On Rayiz we stopped at the mouth of the Vostochny Nyrdvomenshor stream on the right bank of the Sob. The parking lot is behind the bushes and is not visible from the water. We stayed there for three nights. We learned the name of the stream “TWO cops in shorts dived”, went to Rayiz and Jade waterfall.
The initial goal was to reach the mountain lakes, which are located in the square (depression) of the Rayiz plateau. Rayiz means "red mountains". And they are really red, especially in the light of the setting sun.

Kara with lakes is visible from afar. A waterfall stream flows out of it.

It took us an hour and a half to reach the foot of the Rayiz. We did not find any clear path. We walked through a larch forest, thickets of dwarf birches just in the direction of the car. We went out on an all-terrain vehicle, walked along it a little and ended up on a beautiful plain with rarely growing larches and scattered stones.

Then we walked a little more through the forest and ended up at the foot of the mountains.

There were two streams in front of us. The left stream (with its back to the mountains) had a beautiful snowfield, the right stream flowed out of the lakes in a square. Although we needed the right Waterfall Creek, we were tempted by the snowfield. Where else can you make a snowman in July and decorate it with flowers?

It was not the first visit to the snowfield in my life, but the first accompanied by mosquitoes!

0 0

From the snowfield, we began to climb large stones to the left.

0 0

We crossed the ridge between the streams and climbed to the waterfall on the right stream.

0 0

There we decided to end our ascent. I took a bath in the waterfall bath and we moved down. The path to the lakes went on the right and was very steep. Several young people met said that they tried to go to the lakes, but at the top they came to sheer cliffs, and they had to turn back. Other young people managed to reach the lakes by finding a passage on the right.
Our way down was much easier than going up. We went down the stream, went to the left, crossing the ridge between the streams much lower than on the way here.

The next day I, accompanied by dogs, went to Jade Falls. Description of the road there is here http://www.skitalets.ru/water/2005/sob_trusk/. This is very good description, but with a slight inaccuracy: from the river to the waterfall is not 12, but 17 km. The first hour before crossing with the Eastern Nyrdvomenshor, I walked along a gorgeous road. Tverskaya, not lower.

The question was spinning in my head: “What kind of equipment can pass here?” Her remains came across to me along the way. In another two hours the road crossed the stream for the last time and went to its left. A gentle ascent began. Became visible to the left of the Sphinx mountain with its two peaks.

0 0

Soon I saw a lake to the left of the road.

0 0

Passing it and walking for another half an hour, I crossed a stream flowing out of the lake. And there I left the all-terrain vehicle, turning left along a clear track going into the gorge of the Northern Nyrdvomenshor stream in front of the Sphinx Mountain. It is on this stream that the waterfall is located. From the turn to the waterfall about 5 km. The road is good, but with steep ascents and descents. The most beautiful views!

0 0

I reached the base of geologists, or rather, to its ashes.

0 0

Then the road went down to the stream and ended. Another stream flows there, and something like a fork is formed. Take it to the left. Another 600-700m of climbing over stones, rocks, and I am at the waterfall.

0 0

But he is not visible! Some two indistinct jets and a bath. To see at least its lower level, I climbed over the left rocky spur and saw HIM. What energy and power!

The whole trip there and back took me 10 hours. It was a wonderful walk. My only regret is that I didn't bring my running shoes with me. Boots are required there, but part of the way (almost half) can be covered in sneakers.
The next day we sailed to Kharp and stood a kilometer away on the right bank. The houses were already visible. The locals on the other side were fishing. The next day we sailed up to the village and moored on the pebbles behind the pipe across the river before the first threshold.

0 0

Kharp is a large settlement with a strict regime zone, production, high-rise buildings and shops. Near the river there is a hotel "Sob", 300 meters away is a supermarket. It is small, but everything you need, including exotic fruits and shrimp, is there at regular prices. In the same building there is a large hardware store, where we also bought a collar to replace the one we lost during the keel. Fishing equipment for sale.
The second threshold is located behind the road bridge. Thresholds were not too simple for a frame kayak. Not having enough experience, we took the boat along the right bank.

The Sob River is a left tributary of the Ob. It originates on the western slope of the Ural Mountains, crosses the ridge and flows along the eastern slope. The Sob River has always been of great transport importance, because. it was one of the few roads from Europe to Asia and back. Even the railway from the Seyda station to Kharp was laid exactly along the channel of the Sobi. In the upper reaches, the Sob River has a typical mountainous character with a rocky bottom, clean and clear water, fast current. Opposite the village of Kharp there is a famous rapid, which at high water can be a serious obstacle. European grayling and pike (in the lower reaches) are found in Sob. Taimen, broad whitefish, peled and even whitefish can also be caught. In the village of Kharp, there is the Sobsky fish-breeding plant, whose task is to restore the population of valuable fish species in the Lower Ob basin (muksun, peled, whitefish, nelma, sturgeon). In the lower reaches, the Sob acquires the features of a typical lowland river: gentle banks, a wide channel, the flow speed noticeably decreases, along the banks there is mainly a larch forest and shrubs. In the season there are a lot of mushrooms and berries (blueberries, lingonberries, cloudberries). In the lower reaches, mainly pike, roach, perch are found. There are quite a lot of pike and it is large, on average 7-8 kg, there are specimens up to 12 kg. On this page we offer fishing on the Sob River from the village of Kharp to the village of Katravozh. This fishing tour to Sob turns out to be the most inexpensive and democratic, because. transfer to the route is supposed to be by rail, i.e. without involving expensive tracked vehicles, wheeled vehicles or an even more expensive helicopter.

Fishing program on the Sob River and its tributary Haramatolou

This is our only fishing tour where the meeting of the group does not take place at the station, but right on the train. Our conductor will get on the train to the group passing by and it will happen at the railway station of the city of Inta. The guide will be with all the belongings: catamarans, camping equipment, etc.

Our tourists, together with the guide(s), will travel about 8 hours from Inta to Kharp station. In Kharp, the group will be met by a car that will take everyone to the banks of the Sob River. The group will land ashore just below the famous threshold, which is located below the bridge over the river. The threshold is sometimes serious and its complexity reaches 2-3 categories, therefore, it makes no sense to take risks once again and pass it through the water. Better to stand on the oars below the threshold.

On the shore of Sobi, the group, together with the guide, collects catamarans, packs things. In the meantime, lunch is being prepared. After lunch - the start of rafting on the river Sob.

One of the reasons why we chose Kharp station as a starting point is the fact that the Sob leaves Kharp away from the railway and flows through absolutely wild and untouched places of the Polar Urals. No proximity to the railway and no anthropogenic influence!

The second, third and fourth days of fishing on the Sob will be devoted to rafting and, in fact, fishing for European grayling and pike. After about 25 km of rafting from Kharp, the group sails past the mouth of the Hanmei River. Here you should definitely make a stop, and ideally, even make a day at this place and walk upstream the Khanmei to fish for grayling.

Below Kharp, 43 kilometers (18 km from the mouth of Khanmei), our tourists will have to swim past the mouth of another wonderful river - Haramatalou. Haramatalou should also be paid attention and be sure to rise above its rapids - there is excellent fishing for trophy grayling!

Below the Haramatalou River, the character of the Sob River will change and it will turn from a mountainous river into a typical flat river with a wide channel, gently sloping banks and shrubs along the banks. Fishing will be mainly for pike and grayling will be seen less and less. For a variety of diet, be sure to look into the forest in search of mushrooms and cloudberries (if the season is right).

On the fifth, sixth and seventh day of rafting, a group of fishermen will reach the middle and lower reaches of the Sob River. Basically, pike, a little white fish (roach, perch) and possibly taimen will be hooked (but, as you know, it is forbidden to catch and it must be released)

The Sob River in this section becomes full-flowing and our tourists will meet local fishermen who rise on motor boats and even boats from Katravozh or even from settlements located on the Ob. In general, the fishing life in the lower and middle reaches of the Sob is in full swing! The most interesting thing is that there are enough fish for everyone. There are so many pike that no one has ever left Sobi without fish.

All our groups are rafting on catamarans (we do not use kayaks and rafts). As practice has shown, a catamaran is the best remedy rafting on the rivers of the Urals. It is quite stable, easy to assemble and operate, and when assembled, it takes up a minimum of space. Ideal for rafting on the Sob River. At the request of our tourists, we can supply catamarans with small outboard motors, which will allow us to pass areas that are unpromising for fishing faster, without delaying.

During this rafting fishing, the group will definitely make one, or maybe two, day stops. During the stay, a tourist bath is organized, tourists have a rest, take walks in the form of radials to the lakes and Sobi oxbow lakes (sometimes especially large pike are found in the oxbow lakes).

The eighth day is the last and it will be devoted to the exit from the route. In theory, already on the evening of the seventh day, the group should approach the village of Katravozh and set up camp not far from it.

On the morning of the eighth day, our tourists are loaded from a boat or into a boat (there will be a preliminary agreement with it) and begin their descent down the Ob from the village of Katravozh to the village of Labytnangi. The Ob has a very wide channel and strong wind there is often a wave here. It is not uncommon for boats and even boats to capsize on this wave. Therefore, in a boat or on a boat, it is imperative to be in a safety vest! In no case should you neglect the safety rules.

Upon arrival in Labytnangi, a group of our tourists will be met by a car and will take things and people to the Labytnangi railway station. If time permits, our guests can take a ferry (runs every 15 minutes) to Salekhard (located on the other side of the Ob River) and visit Obdorsky Ostrog, take pictures near the mammoth statue and just see the city of Salekhard. In the evening departure of the train from Labytnangi. In Inta, our guide will get off the train (along with all the belongings), and our guests will go further home.
