Taldomsky District

Taldomsky District is a municipal district in northern Moscow Oblast that covers roughly 1,340 square kilometers. It borders both Tver and Vladimir Oblasts and includes several settled communities alongside forests and wetland areas.

The district was established in 1929 and went through several administrative reorganizations over the decades. By 2018, it was restructured as Taldom Urban Okrug with Taldom serving as its administrative center.

The district encompasses several urban and rural settlements where daily life centers around local markets, small workshops, and community gathering spaces. These places show how the region balances traditional ways with contemporary living.

The district sits about 110 kilometers north of Moscow and connects to the capital through suburban railway lines and extensive road networks. The best time to explore is during warmer months when roads and pathways are most accessible.

The area holds the second-largest peat reserves in Moscow Oblast and contains the Moscow Canal. This engineered waterway links the Moskva River to the Volga and stands as a notable feat of mid-20th century construction.
