* Verkhnyaya Pyshma is one of the four satellite cities of the "capital of the Urals" - Yekaterinburg. The city, which arose due to the mining of gold and copper, is often called the "Copper Capital of the Urals." Verkhnyaya Pyshma attracts the attention of tourists with its museum of military and automotive equipment of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, which is the largest city-forming enterprise in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. And not long ago, the Lion Cub tram appeared in the city, which connected Yekaterinburg and Verkhnyaya Pyshma. It is in the tram that our excursion journey begins! To learn more about the history of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, we suggest taking a tram ride and listening to an audio guide, walking around the city and visiting the famous "Copper Mosque".

Меня зовут Анастасия Печерских. По основной профессии я историк. Более 10 лет я провожу экскурсии. Долгое время я работала музейным экскурсоводом, а с 2018 года провожу экскурсии по Уралу и Екатеринбургу. Мой любимый формат: исследовательские экскурсии, когда я могу поделится с участниками экскурсии не только новейшей информацией о городе, но и собственными исследованиями о городе на основе архивных документов и фотографий, а также личных архивов горожан. Кроме того, на моих экскурсиях можно услышать интервью с горожанами, услышать их личные истории, увидеть, как проходит жизнь домов изнутри, узнать необычные факты из городской повседневности. Мои экскурсии будут интересны тем. кто хочет глубже узнать городскую историю, прочувствовать ход городской жизни, ощутить смену эпох, прикоснуться к тайнам нашего города, увидеть жизнь домов изнутри, услышать истории из жизни различных категорий горожан.
