Venyukov pass - a mountain pass through a ridge passing between the valleys of the Pavlovka and Zerkalnaya rivers in the Primorsky Territory . The lowest pass in the Sikhote-Alin mountain system. The pass was named by V.K. Arsenyev during the 1906 expedition in honor of Mikhail Ivanovich Venyukov , a military geographer who in 1858 first crossed the Central Sikhote-Alin and gave his description.

General characteristics
It is located on the 282nd km of the 05N-100 Osinovka-Rudnaya Pristan highway in the Kavalerovsky district . The altitude is only 405 m. The relative excess is also small, and from the west the pass is also very gentle. Due to the fact that the Pavlovka (Li-Fujin) and Zerkalnaya (Tadushi) rivers, accessible for baht and gut, are close to the pass, the pass was a convenient way for local nationalities from the western regions of Primorye to the coast. A pack trail ran through the pass, and subsequently a highway connecting the eastern coastal regions with Vladivostok and the Trans-Siberian stations. In the era of the late USSR, there were plans to extend railway lines from Novochuguevka through the Venyukov pass to Zerkalnoye and further to the Ore Quay .
Currently, a two-lane asphalt highway without serpentines passes through the pass. On the pass itself, there is an extension for parking heavy trucks. On the contrary, at the side of the road, there is an obelisk in memory of famous explorers of the Far East who have passed this pass: Mikhail Ivanovich Venyukov (1858), Nikolai Mikhailovich Przhevalsky (1867) and Vladimir Kladievich Arsenyev ( 1906 ).
On the pass is a monument of archeology of federal significance of the Middle Ages - the Venyukovsky settlement (period of the Bohai state) [1] .
