Nasha Trassa Parking Lot in Garbolovo — Online Web Camera

Garbolovo — a village with a century-old history

The village of Garbolovo in the Vsevolozhsky District of Leningrad Oblast was first mentioned in the 1500 Census Book of the Votskaya Pyatina. The name comes from the Karelian word "garbalo," meaning cranberry — a berry that grows abundantly in the local forests. In the mid-19th century, after the estate was sold in parts, two manors emerged: Bolshoye and Maloye Garbolovo. By 1936, the village had become the center of the Garbolovo Village Council of the Toksovsky District with 287 households and six collective farms.

Today, Garbolovo is a quiet settlement in the Kuyvozovskoye Rural Settlement, surrounded by coniferous forests and lakes. It is here, far from the city bustle, that the "Nasha Trassa" sports base is located, which has become a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts from all over Leningrad Oblast.

"Nasha Trassa" sports base — a project by enthusiasts

"Nasha Trassa" is a non-commercial project created by enthusiastic organizers without state support. As stated on the project page on Planeta.ru, funding is provided by participants "to the best of their personal ability." For many years, the project has been supported by PSS GRAITEK, which helps maintain the infrastructure in working order.

The trail is designed for skiing, running, and recreational walking. Routes of varying difficulty — from easy for beginners to challenging for professionals — allow everyone to find a suitable workout. The base address is Garbolovo village, house 314. The trail operates seven days a week, making it accessible for activities any day.

Infrastructure and conditions for visitors

All conditions for comfortable recreation have been created on the sports base territory. As noted by visitors in reviews on 2GIS, there are two parking lots for cars, warm changing rooms, toilets, and ski rental. There is also a ski preparation service — applying paraffin and selecting wax based on weather conditions.

The base territory includes forest trails for walking and running, as well as a small lake. In winter, ski tracks are laid along scenic routes among coniferous trees. Road cones mark trail directions and training zones, which can be seen in the parking area.

Sporting events and trail runs

"Nasha Trassa" is known for its regular sporting events. One of the key ones is the "Medvezhya Versta" trail run, held several times a year. The base also hosts Garbotrail — a competitive trail run that attracts runners from across the region.

In addition to competitions, the trail hosts ski walks, family starts, and amateur runs. As discussed on the Skisport.ru forum, the routes are suitable for both experienced athletes and those just starting out in skiing or running.
