Yuchmer

Yuchmer and Aksyonovka lie on the Yuchmerka. A map of the governorate from 1913 records the village under the double name Yuchmer-Perkhulkovo.

In the wider regional area, the Yuchmerka rises two kilometers northwest of the village of Yuchmer. The river is 7.5 kilometers long and flows into the Bolshaya Volga opposite the settlement of Kosterevo. Together with the information that Yuchmer and Aksyonovka lie on the Yuchmerka, this gives a clearer picture of the river’s course: the villages lie on the Yuchmerka, its source is northwest of Yuchmer, and its mouth is opposite Kosterevo.

On a map of the governorate from 1913, the village is marked as Yuchmer-Perkhulkovo. The double name is a specific historical reference point for Yuchmer. The map records this place name for the year 1913.

The visitor center of Meshchera National Park in Gus-Khrustalny, at 111 Ulitsa Internatsionalnaya, has an exhibition room with a model of the park area. The exhibition provides information about the nature and history of Vladimir Meshchera, tourist destinations, and the conditions for visiting them. Collections of lichens, beetles, and butterflies are also on display. The model can be explored virtually and may help with planning your own route.

You can visit the exhibition independently or book a general or themed tour. These options offer different ways to explore the same regional themes: on a self-guided visit, you set your own pace; a bookable tour focuses on a particular theme.

The long ecological educational trail “Svidaniye s Meshcheroy” runs from north to south through the entire Meshchera National Park. The park also offers the short ecological educational trail “Puteshestviye v mir bolot Meshchery”; another named ecological route is “Puteshestviye po starinnomu Ryazanskomu traktu.” Check the current visitor rules for the trails before your trip.

The architecture of Vladimir Oblast also offers a range of historical landmarks. The Cathedral of St. George in Yuryev-Polsky dates from the 13th century, is considered an outstanding example of white-stone architecture, and is regarded as the last church in northeastern Rus’ built before the Mongol-Tatar invasion. The Golden Gate in Vladimir is an outstanding monument of ancient Russian architecture. The Church of the Intercession on the Nerl in Bogolyubovo has been described as “a poem carved in stone.” Alongside the national park’s natural attractions, these examples offer other regional points of interest.
