The main purpose of this tour is sightseeing on the Yenisei River. After visiting the hydroelectric power station, you can plan a long hike to the Mininsky pillars, but you should take into account that the distance for them is 13 kilometers.

You need to go to the Mininsky Pillars only if you have free time, and you have already seen the most beautiful places in the Krasnoyarsk Pillars Nature Reserve. Start my trip on the left bank of the Yenisei River. Near the village of Ovsyanka, the Seleznevsky cliff rises above the Yenisei. It offers a very beautiful view of the rocky banks of the Yenisei River.

The next stop can be made in Divnogorsk, walk along the bank of the Yenisei. Then go to the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station, it can be the end of your tour.

If you have time for a hike to the Mininsky Pillars, then you need to cross to the other bank of the Yenisei. The distance from the bridge over the Yenisei to the Mininsky Pillars is 13 kilometers. The trails in the forest are not marked, so you must have an offline map with you so as not to get lost.

Alternatively, you can plan a separate trip to the Mininsky Pillars. To do this, you need to get from Krasnoyarsk by suburb train at the Karaulnaya station. From it, the distance to the Mininsky Pillars is 7.5 km.
