1. Route map for traveling to the Perm region by car

In the last days of December, I scoured hundreds of sites with reviews of weekend trips in the vicinity of Perm and studied the “Interesting places of the Perm region” bookmarks in the “Favorites” of my browser. The final route turned out to be as follows (blue dots on the map): Yekaterinburg – viaducts in the vicinity of Krasnoufimsk – Plakun waterfall – Belogorsky St. Nicholas monastery– Kungur Ice Cave – Melnichny Ruchey waterfall – Rudnaya mine collapse zone in the village of Sarany – Mount Kolpaki – Yekaterinburg.

As you can see, on New Year's holidays we traveled around the Perm region in a clockwise direction. It turned out to be a small circle. In the winter of 2016, we drove counterclockwise: Yekaterinburg - Stone Town - Usvinsky pillars - Polyud and Vetlan stones - Museum of political repression in the colony "Perm-36" - ethnographic museum "Khokhlovka" - art object "Happiness is not far off" in Perm – Krasnoufimsk – Ekaterinburg. Five reports have been published about this trip in the “Weekend Hikes” section; descriptions with links will be given below.

Perm is an excellent example of a city (and, frankly speaking, there are few such cities in Russia) that, with the help of its residents and assistants, completed a “reset” on time and completely. If I may, back in the early 2000s, members of the KVN “Parma” team were responsible for “public relations”: the now famous actress Svetlana Permyakova, director Zhanna Kadnikova, actor Nikolai Naumov, stand-up comedians and perhaps the main creatives of the famous TV channel Oleg Vereshchagin and Gabriel Gordeev. In the 2010s, some of these cheerful and extraordinary people, united in a creative group, created the television series “Real Boys,” which shocked the “right” moviegoers both with the theme and with the special way of filming and presentation, and caused a storm of the most controversial statements from critics. At the same time, a considerable part of the country’s population, in principle, recognizes that such a city exists.

Despite the plot about a young man who cares little about his moral character, the series is officially recognized as a cultural heritage of the Perm region. Moreover, recognition occurred after the local “cultural revolution”. Because in Perm, when it comes to culture, they care not only about innovators. The city maintains its architectural monuments in good condition. Active theaters hold world-famous festivals. New sculptures appear regularly - a tribute to the memory of significant events and great personalities of the Kama region. They say that hotels here are rarely idle. That’s what the editors of Localway invite you to check out, and at the same time, although the city was built very logically - wide streets run parallel to the Kama, and cozy alleys connect them - it presents to your attention its own convenient route through Perm, which knows how to surprise.

Bakery/Pastry Shop, Cafe

We will start our day at the Lemon Tree cafe and pastry shop. The most popular morning items here, of course, are fresh porridges - rice, semolina, oatmeal or corn. We especially recommend the latter. It is cooked with cream, served with pumpkin seeds and, of course, an essential attribute - a fresh bun with butter and berry jam. The result is an excellent, tasty and healthy breakfast that will allow you not to be distracted by thoughts about food until lunch!

Now is the time to cheer up, take a deep breath of fresh river air and recharge yourself with positive impressions for the whole next day. To do this, we will get to the Kama embankment, where the first point of our route for the development of Perm is located. The art object “Happiness is just around the corner” appeared here in 2009, thanks to the “cultural revolution” taking place in the city under the leadership of gallery owner Marat Gelman. The creator of “Perm happiness” was the artist Boris Matrosov.

Big red letters that form such a life-affirming slogan have become one of the most popular objects for photo sessions, and simply a must-visit place for every tourist. This inscription also became known throughout the country, appearing in the film “The Geographer Drank the Globe Away” with Konstantin Khabensky in the title role, as well as in the popular comedy series “Real Boys”.

Monastyrskaya, Perm

From the embankment we will walk along 25 Let Oktyabrya Street, turn onto Lenin Street, and here we are in front of Gribushin’s house - a monument architecture of the 19th century century and one of the most beautiful buildings in Perm. By the way, this particular house is supposedly depicted in Boris Pasternak’s novel “Doctor Zhivago” as a “house with figures.” The building was erected in 1895–1897, by order of the official Kashperov. The project of the mansion in the Art Nouveau style was carried out by the architect A.B. Turchevich, author of numerous buildings in the Urals. Stunning stucco decoration appeared here under another owner - merchant S.M. Gribushin. The elegant decorations of the interiors and facade were created by self-taught artist Pyotr Agafin. At one time, this building was a popular salon, within the walls of which all the creative intelligentsia of Perm gathered. The Gribushin family lived here until 1919. Then a garrison officer's shop, a military hospital, and a children's hospital were located here.

Today, the Perm Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences is located here and, like a century ago, chamber music concerts are held every month in the front living room of the mansion.

Theatre, Opera and ballet

Further along Lenin Street we move towards Theater Square and ten minutes later we find ourselves in front of the largest theater in the city - the Perm State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater named after. P.I. Tchaikovsky. The building, designed specifically for the theater, was erected in the 70s of the 19th century and is an architectural monument of late Russian classicism. The famous Perm architect Rudolf Karwowski worked on the construction project. In 1957–1959, a large-scale restoration of the building was carried out, which made it possible to increase its area by one and a half times, while maintaining its original appearance.

One of the oldest theaters in the country proudly bears the name of the genius of Russian classics P.I. Tchaikovsky, all of whose musical and dramatic creations - 10 operas and 3 ballets - were presented on the Perm stage. Today the theater's repertoire consists of both masterpieces of world opera and ballet, as well as undeservedly forgotten musical works. At the same time, the theater has always been distinguished by its non-standard approach to the production of works of academic art, the development of modern material, and bright and large-scale artistic projects.

Going out onto Sibirskaya Street and walking 200 meters towards the Square named after. Reshetnikov, we find ourselves at the ancient building of the former hotel “Royal Rooms”. This three-story residential building, an example of Art Nouveau architecture, was built back in 1910, and its original owner was the wealthy timber merchant Vasily Ivanovich Korolev, after whom the hotel was named. It should be noted that this was one of the most comfortable hotels in the city, characterized by a high level of technical equipment: electricity was installed here, running water and water heating were functioning. The hotel also had a first-class restaurant. Naturally, the guests of the establishment were very important people. “Royal Numbers” gained greater fame at a difficult and turning point for the country. In 1918, the younger brother of Nicholas II, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich, lived here, serving exile in Perm province. On the night of June 12-13, a representative of the Romanov dynasty was secretly abducted from a hotel and killed. A memorial plaque installed on the facade testifies to Mikhail Alexandrovich’s stay in the house. The hotel existed here in the 1920s; Vladimir Mayakovsky stayed in its rooms. Then the building was adapted into a dormitory for employees of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theater.

Such a delicious and sophisticated lunch will cost us about 2,200 rubles.

On June 12, 2009, at the Ural Hotel, opposite the Central Department Store, the symbol depicted on the coat of arms of Perm was installed. Even in its first version, approved by Catherine II on July 17, 1783, a silver bear was depicted, which signified the wild nature of the inhabitants; on the back of the animal there was a gospel and a silver cross - enlightenment through Christianity. Bear as a symbol natural wealth“lived” on the coat of arms until 1967, and in 1998 it returned in artistic execution.

A walking bear covers an area of ​​3.5 square meters. The total weight of the monument is 3.5 tons.

The artist is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia and the International Association of Arts UNESCO, monumental sculptor, native of Nizhny Tagil Vladimir Pavlenko. Immediately after installation, the Perm Bear became popular among adults and children. Tourists are photographed hugging and riding a bear.

On April 1, 2006, an unusual two-part sculpture appeared near house 27 on Komsomolsky Prospekt (Prikamye Hotel). The antique apparatus of the photographer's figure is aimed at a pedestal about two meters high with a round frame with large ears in which you can place your face and take a memorable photo. It is believed that the Permyak Salty Ears monument is now the most famous landmark of the city. It is most often found on postcards and magnets with views of Perm.

The Russkiy Mir magazine once called the composition the strangest monument in the country. Although the roots of the creation of a genre figure by Rustam Ismagilov go back to history. The traditional occupation of the region is commercial salt making. Workers were forced to carry large bags of salt on their shoulders. The heavy load often touched the ears, contact with salt caused skin irritation - and the ears became large and red. Thus, the nickname “Permyak salty ears” stuck with the ancient workers of Perm, and thanks to such attractions, today’s travelers can take pictures at the unusual pedestal as a keepsake and learn interesting facts from history.

The next point on our route is Sibirskaya, 33. Here, in a house on the corner of Bolshaya Yamskaya and Sibirskaya streets, the famous Sergei Diaghilev spent the happy time of his youth. In the future - a theater reformer, initiator of the association of young artists "World of Art", organizer of the legendary "Russian Seasons" in Paris and historical tours of Russian ballet around the world. Museums directly related to the life and work of Sergei Pavlovich operate in the capitals of France, Great Britain and Monaco; there are such collections in Venice and Lausanne. In Russia, the first Diaghilev memorial museum was opened in his homeland - in Perm.

In 1894, by decision of the Perm City Duma, Diaghilev’s house was transferred to the school - today it is one of the oldest gymnasiums in the Kama region, which since 1992 has been named after the philanthropist.

Permians lovingly call it “grandmother rotunda” because it is one of the main attractions of the recognized cultural capital of the Urals. The rotunda was built in 1824 in honor of the arrival of Emperor Alexander I in Perm: monarchs rarely visited county towns, so they carefully prepared for such a meeting. In addition to tidying up the streets and house facades, they built a beautiful gazebo designed by architect Sviyazev. There is even a memorial plaque on the roof with the inscription: “To the Perm Society. September 24 days 1824."

The “gift” to the monarch is a structure of twelve columns, which are crowned by a semicircular roof with a forged metal spire in the middle. The columns and roof are decorated with elaborate carvings. The rotunda is located in the center of the park. Gorky, which once had the status of a country garden. From a distance it seems that the white structure is made of stone. But in fact, the rotunda is wooden, which at one time caused the gazebo to become very dilapidated. Fortunately, talented restorers were able to return the monument to its original ceremonial appearance.

Having delved into history, let us return to modern times. And the fastest way to do this is to take a couple of stops on public transport along Komsomolsky Prospekt towards Belinsky Street. Built by 1953 in the style of “Stalinist monumentalism,” the corner tower with a spire ending was conceived as the main building of the university in Perm. But at the end of four years of construction, the building was transferred to the State Security Committee. A ballistics laboratory was located on the ground floor of the building, in which experts shot the seized weapons. It is believed that city residents passing by thought: they were shooting at those arrested without trial. One way or another, Perm residents can tell more than one legend about the “tower of death.” Innocent people were allegedly tortured within the walls of the building, convicts were thrown from the top floor directly into the courtyard, and underground passages lead from the prison to other “terrible” places - the old Yegoshikha cemetery and a real prison - and all the builders were killed upon completion of the work in order to classify what was happening inside house No. 74 on Komsomolsky Prospekt.

There is another version of the origin of the original name for the departmental building: in Soviet times, not far from here there was a cinema in which the foreign film “Tower of Death” was shown. The poster suggested the original version to residents. One way or another, the history of this high-rise building has become a large part of Perm rumor - it even received a literary continuation. In 1997, local prose writer A. Subbotin’s story “Tower of Death” was published, in which a mysterious structure becomes the main scene of phantasmagoric events in the spirit of popular dystopias.

We bring to your attention a list of the most famous natural attractions of the Perm region

Babinogorskaya cave. Ancient city Kungur in the Perm region was literally built from scratch. Gypsum lies beneath the city and its environs, and gypsum is a favorite rock for the development of extensive labyrinthine caves. The Kungur Ice Cave is known throughout the world. But speleologists and cave divers have long been coming here not because of it: there are many other famous caves in the area. One of them is the Babinogorskaya cave.

Plakun waterfall. The legend about the origin of the source is quite traditional for many of our places. According to her, the unfortunate girl was forcibly separated from her loved one and imprisoned here, in the depths of the mountain. Since then, the girl has been crying incessantly from unhappy love, and the flow of tears is so great that a waterfall has formed falling from the mountain. Falling from a height of seven meters, streams of water break against the stones into a multitude of splashes - small, like tears, which gives the impression that the shore is crying...

Blue Lake on Chusovaya. One of the most popular tourist sites on the Chusovaya River is Blue Lake. This is not an ordinary lake, but a so-called vaucluse - an outlet to the surface of an underground river. The deepest underwater cave in the Perm region is located here. Depending on the water level, the color of the water also changes. The more water, the darker it is. It is not always blue. The most pronounced blue tint is observed at low water, during low water.

Mount Kolpaki. Mount Kolpaki - bizarre rocks in the Middle Urals, on the very border of Europe and Asia. The name comes from the shape of the rock formations, which resemble caps.

Stone Town, popular among tourists, is also the southern peak of the same ridge. The ridge of the mountain stretches from north to south for more than 4 kilometers.

Mount Oslyanka. Oslyanka is the most high mountain Middle Urals. Its height reaches 1119 meters above sea level. Probably, the name of the mountain comes from the word “ass” - whetstone, whetstone. Oslyanka is a ridge stretching from north to south, 16 kilometers long. In some places the mountain ends with rocks. The main peak is cone-shaped, located in the central part of the mountain, slightly shifted to the southeast.

Grotto Rasik. Not far from the town of Kizel, Perm Territory, there is a small but quite interesting Rasik cave. The cave is located 1.5 kilometers from the Rasik railway station on the Kizel - Solikamsk branch. Actually, the cave got its name from the name of the station. The Rasik station itself is small. There used to be a camp here, the prisoners cut down the forest. Mountains and rocks are visible from the station. You can climb them and admire the local beauty.

The Vetlan stone stretches along the river for 1750 meters. The height of the rocks reaches 100 meters. For the first time, it was proposed to include this place in the list of protected areas back in 1928 by A.A. Khrebtov. However, Vetlan, not surprisingly, received the status of a landscape monument of regional importance only many decades later - in 1981.

Ermak stone. The Ermak stone and other rocks surrounding it on the right bank of the Sylva River are one of the most favorite vacation spots for tourists and climbers in the Perm region. What is important is that this rock is easy and simple to get to from the regional center - the city of Perm. The Ermak stone is located on the Sylva River, 15 kilometers upstream from the city of Kungur, famous for its cave.

Copan Canal. One of the most interesting natural and historical sites in the Perm region is the Kopan Canal near the town of Ocher. The name of the channel comes from the word “dig”. This man-made canal connects the Cheptsa River with the Ocher River. It was needed to solve problems with the lack of water supplies in the Ochersky factory pond. Water that led in the 18th - 19th centuries. The movement of factory mechanisms was sometimes not enough.

Lake Nyukhti. Beautiful lake Nyukhti is located on the border of the Krasnovishersky and Solikamsky districts of the Perm Territory. In the past, the lake was difficult to access because it was located among swamps. But several years ago, oil workers built good access roads to it. The fact is that an oil field was discovered near the lake, which is now being actively developed.

Orda Cave. Orda Cave is the longest underwater gypsum cave in Russia and one of the longest in the world. This place is real paradise for divers. Fans of cave diving come here not only from all over the Urals, but also from other regions of Russia and even from other countries. The Orda Cave is located in the Perm region, on the left bank of the Kungur River near the regional center of Orda (from which it got its name). Although the cave has been known for a long time, it has only been studied since the early 1990s.

Divya Cave. In the north of the Perm region there is the longest cave in the Urals. Divya Cave is 10,100 meters long. One day is unlikely to be enough to fully explore it, and it’s easy to get lost in its long and intricate passages. Divya Cave is located on the steep right bank of the Kolva River near the village of Nyrob in the Cherdynsky district. The cave got its name from the word “wonderful” - for its beauty.

Kizelovskaya-Viasherskaya Cave. The Perm region is a cave region, this is no secret. About a quarter of the Ural caves, more than one kilometer long, are located exactly there, in the edge of the Central Ural taiga forests. Kizelovskaya-Viasherskaya stands apart among the Permian caves. Its uniqueness is not only in its length (more than seven kilometers of passages, the fourth longest in the Urals) - but also in its walking distance. The entrance to the cave is located on the outskirts of the village of Shakhty (a suburb of the city of Kizel) on Peshernaya Street!

Dark Cave. The deepest cave in the Perm region (132 meters) by default becomes the most attractive for tourists of all kinds. At the same time, its location and the spaciousness of the passages make the cave a convenient training ground for training vertical equipment and conducting training rescue operations. Therefore, Temnaya is one of the most visited caves in the region.

Pashiyskaya Cave. Pashiyskaya cave is located in the Gornozavodsky district of the Perm region. The cave is located near the village of Pashiya, in the Bolshiye Voronki rocks on the left bank of the Vizhay River.

Chanvinskie caves. Cave The Chanvin caves in the Perm region are interesting not for their length, but for their secrets. This a unique place, no analogues of which are known in the Middle Urals. A temple was located in these caves for several thousand years. These places were sacred to the people who lived here. Being here, in these remote and majestic places, you can really involuntarily believe in the existence of forest spirits...

Miracle Cave. The Miracle Cave is the longest in the Chusovaya River area and one of the most beautiful in the Urals. Thanks to the extraordinary beauty of the sinter formations, the cave fully justifies its name. The Miracle Cave is located two kilometers from the Chusovaya River, in the valley of the small river Ponysh. The Chudesnitsa Cave and Kladovaya Mountain, in which it is located, are classified as natural monuments of the Perm region.
