In Krasnorechenskoye, the Museum of the History, Culture and Traditions of the Amur Cossacks is at the heart of the cultural offering. It tells the story of the Cossacks as the first Russian settlers in the Far East, their role in developing vast territories, and their service and work for Russia. The exhibition thus connects the history of settlement with the development of the region and the traditions of the Amur Cossacks.
Museum and excursion programmes
The museum’s excursion programmes include master classes. Visits are by prior arrangement. If you are interested in an excursion programme, check the current arrangements with the museum in advance. This allows you to plan a museum visit as a cultural activity in its own right, without conflating it with the nature attractions of the broader destination.
Dated event announcements
For the period from 22 to 29 June 2026, the nationwide and interregional competitions “Amurskaya mnogodnevka” and the regional festival “Amurskaya mnogodnevka” were announced in Krasnorechenskoye. An earlier announcement was for the nationwide competitions “Amurska mnogodnevka 2019,” scheduled for 12 to 20 June 2019.
Nature in the broader Khabarovsk Krai destination
The broader Khabarovsk Krai destination includes distinct nature and protected-area themes. Anyuisky National Park was established on 15 December 2007 and covers 429,400 hectares. It lies on the western slope of the central Sikhote-Alin in the Anyui basin, a major right-bank tributary of the Amur. The park attracts people interested in active educational tourism.
Shantar Islands National Park protects marine mammal habitats and bird nesting areas, as well as the archipelago’s coastal ecosystems, rock massifs and island vegetation. Bureinsky Nature Reserve was established in 1987 and covers almost 357,000 hectares; its territory includes a representative section of mountain taiga. These regional descriptions emphasize different features: river basins and taiga alongside island and coastal ecosystems.
Hiking trails and water routes in the region
Two educational trails of different lengths offer a useful comparison. The “Zapovednyy Khekhtsir” trail in Bolshekhekhtsirskiy Nature Reserve is available year-round, is 2.55 kilometres long and takes about two and a half hours. It passes through natural communities of the Ussuri taiga and offers an impression of its characteristic vegetation and the forest landscapes of Greater Khekhtsir. It may be visited only in organised groups accompanied by an employee of “Zapovednoye Priamurye” and a state environmental protection inspector.
The “Rodnichok” educational trail is 600 metres long, passes through coniferous and broadleaf mixed forest to Bykova Creek, and is available from May to October. The estimated walking time is about one hour. Here too, visits are permitted only in organised groups accompanied by an employee of “Zapovednoye Priamurye” and a state environmental protection inspector. The trails differ in length, stated duration and season; the group and escort requirements apply to both.
Water routes have different time frames. Visitors to Komsomolskiy Nature Reserve can take the “K serdtsu zapovednika” excursion and tourism route. The 46-kilometre route takes an estimated twelve hours and is available from May to October. Check the current arrangements with the nature reserve. Tourist routes in Shantar Islands National Park run through its territory and waters. The “Po akvatorii Shantarskikh ostrovov” water route is 223 kilometres long, takes eight hours and 30 minutes, and is available from July to September. Check the national park’s current permit and operating conditions before planning.
