    Ust-Tsilma (Russian: Усть-Ци́льма, Komi: Чилимдін) is in the northwest of the Komi Republic.

    Understand

    [edit]

    Ust-Tsilma is a village of about 5,000 on the Pechora River at the mouth of the Tsilma and Pizhma rivers, located in the north of the Komi Republic. The village was founded by the Novgorodians in 1542 in the XVII-XVIII centuries. A large number of Old Believers who moved away from the persecution of the authorities moved to Ust-Tsilma. The rich folk traditions of the Russian North have been well preserved in Ust-Tsilma.

    By plane

    [edit]

    Tiny Ust-Tsilma Airport UTS  IATA has twice-per-week flights to Syktyvkar.

    By train

    [edit]

    The closest rail station is Irayol (Ираёль), on the Kotlas - Vorkuta line, from which there are two buses per day going to Ust-Tsilma.

    By car

    [edit]

    The Ukhta - Irayol section of the road to Ust-Tsilma is practically impassable for cars in the warm months. In winter, the quality of the road is noticeably better.

    By bus

    [edit]

    The bus runs to Irayol station two times a day. In the off-season (ice freezing and ice drift), it may be impossible to cross the Pechora River at Cape Kabel, making it impossible to reach Ust-Tsilma by ground transport.

    By boat

    [edit]

    In summer and early autumn, a passenger boat runs from the Ust-Tsilma to Naryan-Mar and back three times a week along the Pechora River. The fare is 4200 руб. (2011).
