Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

For those interested in culture, Artemovskiy offers two distinct museum approaches: the City History Museum and the Egor-shino GRES Museum. One focuses on local history, while the other is connected to a power plant and a company. You can choose which to focus on depending on whether you are more interested in the city’s history or in the specific power plant site and the company’s employees.

City History in Two Steps

The City History Museum was founded in 1967 and opened to visitors in 1969. Its founding and opening mark distinct historical steps: the museum opened to visitors two years after it was founded.

The Egor-shino GRES Museum

The Egor-shino GRES Museum is housed in several rooms of the former power plant building. It is located on the grounds of the Artemovskaya thermal power plant on Energetikov Street in Artemovskiy. The company’s employees are also among its subjects. The museum’s location and subject matter give it a specific connection to the company, distinguishing it from the city-history approach.

The museum can be visited only as part of a guided tour arranged in advance. Since access details may change, confirm the arrangements with the operator before your visit.

More to Explore in Sverdlovsk Oblast

The broader destination of Sverdlovsk Oblast is also home to the Museum Complex of Civil and Military Equipment in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. Its collection includes more than 15,000 exhibits, including more than 2,000 civilian and military vehicles. The overall figures may change over time. While the Egor-shino GRES Museum also covers the employees of a company, the focus in Verkhnyaya Pyshma is on civilian and military equipment.

The oblast’s approved autotourism routes also offer a regional approach to planning. An approval list published in 2026 includes the Demidov Route between Yekaterinburg, Nevyansk, and Nizhny Tagil. It also lists “Along the Iset to the Sound of the Bell: A Journey to Kamensk-Uralsky” between Yekaterinburg and Kamensk-Uralsky, as well as “Discover the Urals: Nature, History, Legends” between Yekaterinburg, Irbit, Turinsk, and Tavda. The routes differ in their named locations: the Demidov Route links three places, the route to Kamensk-Uralsky names two endpoints, and “Discover the Urals” names four places. Check the latest route information before setting off.

For trip planning, it helps to consider local and broader themes separately. The museums in Artemovskiy provide the local connection; the museum complex in Verkhnyaya Pyshma and the autotourism routes offer a wider perspective on Sverdlovsk Oblast. This way, you can first decide whether to focus on city history and the Egor-shino GRES, or also include regional themes related to technology and routes.
