306 Bare right to Ивановка, there is a sign but it faces the other way for traffic entering
from the border (if you head south from here you will be going to the other border post –
also open for tourists)
318 Top of hill (360m) road bends left and descends. There is about half tar, half dirt on this
road
323 Ивановка starts
324 Bridge – road bends South and Tar stops. Road is OK – often the side tracks are better
341 Таловка starts
343 Tar road – messy in parts, but a lot better than the dirt
349 Meets dirt road – turn right. It then climbs slowly. This could be tar soon as they are
building a new road from Руьшовск (Rubshovsk)
355 Варшава + bridge over river
360 Building road – some bits OK
373 Perfect tar road starts
393 Руьшовск sign says that town has started
397 Still no town but a bridge – turn right and follow the road and then it bends left. The first
big road that you cross with a central reservation – is the main road. Turn right.
399 Big square with Lenin statue. Hotel is on the square – large building. They wouldn't let us
stay there (“Your registration is incorrect” - which it wasn't – no hassle at border) Maybe
they will sack the old witch that sent us away.
There are loads of small ads in the local papers with flats to rent by the night for about
400R – find someone nice to help. OR camp just before town OR 13km past town towards
the border there is a truckstop / hotel – find the road near the railway station and follow it
south. It is parallel with the other main road only further West
You will need the Altaiski Krai (АЛТАЙCKИЙ КРАЙ) area mapbook – available in Biysk)
