An eco-trail to the site of the Tunguska meteorite fall will be built in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

An ecological trail for tourists to the site of the fall of the Tunguska meteorite is planned to be built in the Tungussky Nature Reserve in the Krasnoyarsk Territory by 2028. Its director Lyudmila Logunova reported this to TASS:

“We are planning for the first time to create a unique ecological trail under the code name “Kulik Trail – a journey to the Tunguska meteorite,” in honor of the mineral scientist Leonid Kulik. This will be a path equipped according to all standards to the epicenter of the fall, where there was a tree line. It is planned that tourists will be transported along the river to the beginning of the trail. There will be parking areas, rest areas, and route markings along the trail. We hope to do everything by the 120th anniversary of the fall.”

Let us remind you that the Tungussky Nature Reserve is located in the Evenki region near the site of the meteorite fall, which, presumably caused an air explosion over the Siberian taiga in the area of ​​the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in June 1908. It was so powerful that it knocked down trees within a radius of about 40 km. Scientists still have not figured out the cause of the explosion, since the body of the supposed meteorite itself has not been discovered, nor has the crater from the fall. Leonid Kulik was one of the first scientists who came to the site and studied the Tunguska phenomenon.
