Base station launched at Nizhnyaya Sinyachikha museum-reserve

The most popular dates for visiting the Ural Museum of Russian Wooden Architecture have become known. In 2026, they fell on January 4 and 5, when the number of guests at the reserve exceeded the monthly average by two times. Megafon analysts came to this conclusion after studying anonymized user data.

The village of Nizhnyaya Sinyachikha, which houses the open-air museum, is among the most sought-after tourist destinations in the region. Tourists come here to see the world’s only collection of folk wood painting, the tower of Aramashevsky Ostrog, and five chapels — Spasskaya, Vozneseniya Gospodnya, Alexander Nevsky, Ilya Proroka, and Zosima and Savvatiy Solovetskiye.

At the beginning of the year, engineers installed new base stations in the Alapayevsky District, including near the reserve. It is expected that the improvement in communication quality will attract more enthusiasts of history and architecture to the unique village.

«We are systematically expanding the network coverage area, building new communication facilities in villages and hamlets of Sverdlovsk Region. At the end of last year, we launched base stations in small settlements of the Artemovsky and Beloyarsky districts. This year, we continued to strengthen the digital framework of the region,» commented Alexey Zhenikhov, director of Megafon in Sverdlovsk Region.

Among other things, new telecom facilities appeared in the villages of Kirovskoye and Nevyanskoye, through which the Verkhnyaya Sinyachikha–Irbit highway passes. And last year, tourists could notice changes in communication performance near Manturov Kamen by the Rezh River and in the area of the recreation base ‘Mariinskiye Izby’ in the village of Mariinsk.
