Sysert

Sysert is an industrial town in Sverdlovsk Oblast located in the Ural Mountains region. Factory buildings and processing plants sit among forests and hilly terrain, reflecting the town's long history of mining and manufacturing.

The town began in 1732 as a mining settlement drawn to local mineral deposits. Over time it grew into an industrial center as factories were built to process raw materials extracted from the surrounding Ural region.

Craftspeople throughout the town work with metal and wood, creating items that reflect local traditions of the Ural region. You can see their work displayed at regular local fairs where residents gather to buy and sell handmade goods.

The town connects to the nearby city of Yekaterinburg by road, making it accessible for visitors looking to explore the area. Spring through fall offers the most comfortable conditions for walking around and seeing local businesses and facilities.

Some residents continue to use processing techniques passed down through generations in their small workshops. You might spot these traditional methods still in use alongside modern equipment in local workshops if you explore the industrial areas.
