The point is the number of settlements - there are more than 1.5 thousand in the region. Each of them is provided with transport links. Moreover, the villages are located evenly, “covering” almost the entire territory of the Altai Territory.

On the ones given here interactive maps The main highways of the Altai Territory are indicated. In the future, their number will be replenished, and the introduction of new roadside service facilities will continue. Site visitors take an active part in compiling maps, not only suggesting objects for placement, but also rating them using a rating voting system.

All this is done so that any car traveler, before traveling through Altai, can determine in advance not only the final goal, but also stops along the way to inspect various objects, “coffee breaks,” refueling and car maintenance.

Even a person unprepared in advance can go to Altai. What do you need to do to find the right path? Good advice given on the automobile forum Drom.ru

The most reliable thing would be to talk to truck drivers or bus drivers at a cafe, and even go after someone in pairs (and you won’t run into traffic cops and you’ll be safer, after all, the guys are radio-controlled, you never know if there’s a snowstorm or anything)

So, you can check the driving directions with truck drivers. They can be found near roadside establishments. “Putting up” behind a truck and moving under its “cover” is the right path, but it may seem long for some.

IN good weather With excellent visibility, is there any point in “reaching out”? All you need to do is find the right path - turn in the right place at unfamiliar road junctions and intersections.

One of the answers that is “on the surface” is to use a navigator. But it’s no secret that this device does not always work correctly, it can even lead you into the “open field”, and some car friends got into dead-end situations with its help.

Here's another good piece of advice from a motorists forum:

Simple tourist map- this is the correct option.

Yes, it's elementary! Unfold the map - and you're in the know! The only “but”: it will not always be possible to find a map with current data, with road service facilities in certain areas.

Let each traveler decide for himself what to do. To help tourists, detailed maps are compiled on the website “Route 22 Altai”, so that a vacationer can, looking at the interactive diagram on his tablet or other mobile device, travel along the correct trajectory. At the same time, imagine what interesting establishment or tourist attraction awaits him there - around the next turn...
