Novolyalinsky District Balances Flood Prep with Growth and Tourism Plans

The Novolyalinsky Municipal District is preparing for spring floods while pushing ahead with new development projects. Local authorities have been clearing snow and monitoring ice levels to prevent water blockages. At the same time, plans for tourism and urban improvements are moving forward across the district’s 22 settlements.

The area, known for its historic ties and natural beauty, is balancing flood readiness with long-term growth initiatives. Since last Friday, crews have been removing snow from roads, courtyards, and bridges. The work aims to speed up thawing and reduce the risk of ice jams. Ice thickness is being measured regularly to prevent blockages in the Lyala and Lobva rivers, the district’s two main waterways.

A temporary shelter has been set up at the Lobva Center for Culture and Sports in case of flooding. The low-lying area near Lobva remains a key concern as the season progresses.

Beyond flood preparations, the municipality is upgrading public spaces under the Comfortable Urban Environment programme. The station square and town centre in Novaya Lyalya are among the areas being revitalised. Residents are also shaping local projects through participatory budgeting, with plans for a rope park and a road safety training area in Novaya Lyalya.

Tourism is another focus. Officials are developing a route along the historic Babinov Road, once a vital link between European Russia and Siberia. Nearby, the Taezhnaya Ros base offers visitors wooden cabins, a traditional bathhouse, and activities like hiking, horseback riding, and snowmobile tours. The settlement of Pavda, founded during Tsar Boris Godunov’s reign, adds to the district’s charm with its scenic pond, dam, and resident swans. The district’s efforts cover both immediate flood risks and future growth. Snow clearance and ice monitoring continue, while new tourist routes and urban upgrades take shape. With 22 settlements, including the larger towns of Novaya Lyalya and Lobva, the area is working to strengthen infrastructure and attract visitors.
