Discover Uray

• “Pervye na Konde” runs along the Konda embankment in Uray.
• “Komsomoltsy – molodye stroiteli goroda” runs from Discoverers’ Square along I. P. Shestakov Street to MBOU SOSH No. 4.
• The Sukhoy Bor historic complex is located on a high bank of the Konda and is associated with the first oil field.
• The Silava ethnovillage is located on the grounds of the “Ely Khotal” community, at the site of the abandoned Mansi village of Silava.
• The “Uray sportivnyy” tour runs near a group of modern sports facilities in Sportivnyy Square.

The two walking tours differ in their spatial orientation. “Pervye na Konde” is located along the Konda River. “Komsomoltsy – molodye stroiteli goroda,” by contrast, can be described by a specific sequence of starting point, street section, and destination. Thus, a route along the embankment and one through named urban areas offer different focuses. If you are planning a tour, check in advance whether the specific offering is currently available.

Sukhoy Bor combines a historical association with a description of its location on the riverbank. The complex is connected with the first oil field; it opened to visitors in 2004, on the 40th anniversary of Shaim oil. The year puts the opening to visitors into context. For planning an excursion, you should also check current availability.

The “Uray sportivnyy” tour has a different focus. It runs near a group of modern sports facilities in Sportivnyy Square. The guide talks about these facilities and offers visits to the city stadium, Dvorets sporta “Start,” and the “Uray-arena.” The focus here is on sports facilities and the visits offered, while Sukhoy Bor is associated with oil history. Check the tour’s current availability before planning.

The wider destination of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug offers additional nature and culture themes. In Khanty-Mansiysk, Samarovsky Chugas Nature Park protects especially valuable natural areas, rare plants and animals, pristine forests, and unique landscapes at the confluence of the Ob and Irtysh.
