Hug The Pond. 300 Years on Iset River
From 1 200₽ per person
Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2 hours
* The city Pond is the center of Yekaterinburg, its most recognizable view and a place where you can take many beautiful photos of the city and yourself against its background. The presence of a pond, a dam and a factory has been a distinctive feature of every Ural factory settlement since 1700, and Yekaterinburg is no exception in this.
However, Yekaterinburg compares favorably with other cities in the Urals: in 300 years it has traveled from a fortress to a megalopolis, and traces of this history can be found on the shores of its pond.
During the tour, the participants:
- they will find out why dams were built on the Ural rivers and which factory pond is the largest in the Urals;
- they will make sure that the precepts of the founding father of the city, Willim Gennin, are more alive than all the living;
- they will look at architectural examples of classicism, eclecticism, modernism, avant-garde, constructivism, modernism and kaprom - all major urban styles;
- they will try to understand why all the residences of the rulers of the Urals were located on the embankment of the pond;
- they will find out the details of how Yekaterinburg became a city of demons and why hugs are a trademark of Yekaterinburg.
The tour can take place at any time of the day. In the evening, the backlight turns on, turning the embankments into a casket with brightly shining gems. On the route, you can visit the Yeltsin Center, coffee shops, and the March photo gallery.

Organizer
Екбгуляем - сообщество экскурсоводов в Екатеринбурге, предлагающих авторские экскурсии по разным локациям города и Урала. Наша миссия: помогать понять, за что можно город любить.
Сообщество объединилось в 2019 году. Участники Екбгуляем - люди с богатым жизненным опытом, представители разных профессий (журналисты, дизайнеры, преподаватели, культурные проектировщики и т.д.), часть экскурсоводов имеют степень кандидатов наук.
Мы работаем с индивидуальными туристами, жителями города, а также готовы проводить групповые экскурсии для корпоративных заказчиков.
Мы готовим каждую экскурсию под конкретного заказчика и готовы браться за новые темы и направления. Каждая экскурсия - это результат серьёзной исследовательской работы в архивах, сбор личных историй (true story), подборки уникальных документов и фотографий.
