context_page_description: The Ingala Valley is an archaeological district in the area between the Tobol and Iset rivers. It is the largest one in the south of the Tyumen Oblast, and belongs to the Iset cultural and historical province. It has 177 kurgans, 55 archaeological sites of federal significance and 5 regional natural monuments.
  Archaeological sites in the valley date from the Mesolithic to the Middle Ages and include marks of the Andronovo culture and Ugric Sargat culture civilizations. Some of the artifacts are stored in the State Hermitage Museum as the Siberian collection of Peter the Great; others belonged to the lost well-known private collection of Nicolaes Witsen.
context_section_description: The Ingala Valley is located 75 km south of Tyumen, at the mouth of the Iset River. At this point, the borders of the Isetsky, Yalutorovsky, Zavodoukovsky and Uporovsky Districts of the Tyumen Oblast are closed. The valley was named in 1994 by the most common local toponyms translated from the Siberian Tatar language as scirpus.
  The valley covers an area of about 1500 square kilometres. It was formed as a result of a merger of the river valleys of the Tobol and Iset rivers. It has the shape of a trapezoid on a map, with a vertex extending to the northeast. The north–south length is about 55 km; on the east–west axis it's from 20 to 45 km. In terms of relief it looks like a cavity, which is bounded on the north by a high terrace of the Iset River, and on the east by a terrace of the Tobol River. In the central part of the valley flow the Hog Ingala and Large Ingala rivers, which are tributaries of the Iset River.
  There are two ways to the valley. The southern route is from Tyumen by the highway M51 towards Kurgan. Beyond the village Isetskoe it crosses the Iset River and turn left in front of the village Soloboevo, then through Malyshy and Botniki to get to Krasnogorskoe, the beginning of the valley. Then you can travel the route Krasnogorskoe-Loga—Minino—Onufrieva—Upper Ingal—Niphaki—Ingalinskoe—Lykovo—Koklyagina—Surka—Tyutrina—Byzovo—Uporovo; this path goes around the valley from the south-west. Then after Uporovo you may cross the Tobol River and get to Zavodoukovsk heading north through Lesnoy—Central—Michurinskiy; then you come back to Tyumen by the highway P402.
  The northern route is from Tyumen to Zavodoukovsk by the highway P402. Before Zavodoukovsk you must turn right, cross the river Uk and continue to the right (westbound) towards Sungurovo. After Sungurovo you cross the Tobol River and reach Novolybaevo, and immediately enter the Ingala Valley. Continue by the route Novolybaevo—Karasye—Shilikul, and from the last enter the southern route, reaching back roads through Pushkareva to Ingalinskoe (to the west) or to Koklyagina (to the south).
