Natural attractions
Tyumen is often associated with a gray oil city. This is partly true - although minerals are not mined here, they are processed. However, this does not prevent her from remaining quite green and civilized.
Tura River
Tyumen stands on the left and right banks of the Tura River, which carries its waters for a thousand kilometers. Along its entire length, its width ranges from 80 to 200 m. Sections of the river within the city are not full of water, but in spring and autumn after prolonged rains the level rises.
The river is rich in pike perch, bream, burbot, pike, perch, sterlet, and roach. On the shore in the city there are many fishermen with a fishing rod. Motor ships ply along Tura within Tyumen, on which you can take a boat trip. Ships depart from the pier near the “Lovers' Bridge”.
The cost of a ticket (for 1 hour) for adults is 400 rubles, for children – 300 rubles, and children under 3 years old go on deck for free.
Eco-park "Zatyumensky"
One of the main natural attractions of Tyumen is the eco-park. Previously, it was just a piece of wooded land on the outskirts of the city (with a bad reputation). And in 2007, the green zone received a new life. Among the thicket of pines, spruces, fir trees, bird cherry trees and other green spaces, bicycle paths, swings, and benches appeared.
After the territory was transformed, vacationers had the opportunity to play mini-football, basketball, and volleyball on special grounds. The forest park has also created children's playgrounds and a designated area for walking dogs. In winter, there is an ice skating rink, and ski trails are laid through the forest.
Gilevskaya Grove
Tyumen is a green city, and what makes it so, in particular, is the Gilevskaya Grove park.

After reconstruction, the grove now has paths for walking and cycling. The forest park has acquired the infrastructure necessary for a comfortable stay: lanterns, gazebos, benches, public restrooms.
In winter, there is a ski base in the grove, and in the warm season you can rent rollerblades, scooters, adult and children's bicycles.

As a result, only a tenth of it remained, where spruce, pine, linden and birch trees spread their fluffy branches.
The entrance to the park is decorated with an arch with 8 snow-white columns. The landscape design is complemented by statues of Tyumen residents of the 19th century: “Ladies on a Walk”, “Boy”, “Hussar”, “Resting Girl”.
