Verkhoturye, Administrative town in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia.
Verkhoturye is a town in Sverdlovsk Oblast situated along the left bank of the Tura River in the Ural region. The settlement stands at approximately 115 meters elevation and serves as a local hub within the surrounding landscape.
The town was founded in 1597 as a strategic outpost during the development of the Ural region. The arrival of the railway in 1906 connected this previously isolated settlement to other centers and opened new economic opportunities.
The town maintains traditional Russian crafts and practices, with local events bringing together residents to celebrate regional customs throughout the year.
The town is traversed by major infrastructure including oil pipelines that support regional industry and connect it to Russia's energy network. Visitors should note that the location's accessibility depends on planning ahead and understanding the local geography.
The arrival of the railway in 1906 transformed Verkhoturye from an isolated settlement into a connected transportation hub in Sverdlovsk Oblast.
