Terrenkur health trail

About the place

A leafy 4.5-kilometre riverside health trail for walking, running and a quiet break at the foot of the mountains.

The walking route's history

Almaty's health trail was built in 1974. Terrenkur is an extended walking space rather than a single viewpoint, so the experience depends on your chosen section and direction. Its history belongs to the city's tradition of combining movement, greenery and time beside the water.

For a first walk, choose a manageable section and decide where to leave the trail for transport. Uphill and downhill walking require different effort, and covering the entire route is optional. Travel time from O2 shown on the card excludes the walk and rest stops.

How to get there

For the upper trail: bus 65 to Abai / Baitursynuly → bus 21 towards Medeu to the Most stop → walk about 4 minutes.

Visiting tips

The trail is long and climbs gradually. Carry water, wear comfortable shoes and open the live route before leaving.

Bring water and shoes with a secure grip; shorten the walk if it rains or you become tired.

Save the start and exit points separately: navigation to 'Terrenkur' may select a different section from the one you intended.
