What to see?
The northernmost city of Yaroslavl, Poshekhonye, is a real city on the water. Five rivers connect here at once – Sogozha, Soga, Shelsha, Pertomka and Troitsky Creek, the channels of which are expanded by the Rybinsk reservoir. The edge of the forests turned out to be on the seashore, becoming an ideal place to relax on the water.
Poshekhonye is a small town in the north of Yaroslavl, the center of the largest area of the region. Previously, it was deservedly called the bear corner – the bears were quite comfortable here. With the construction of the Rybinsk Sea, part of the area went under water, and local rivers overflowed. Quiet Poshekhonye is a city of five rivers and seven bridges, also called Yaroslavl Venice.
Enjoy a magnificent view of the Poshekhonsky waters from the 73-meter-high bell tower next to the Trinity Cathedral.
Here you can go to the Rus Sovetskaya Museum, the museum of local lore, learn the history of the local gold mining, try yourself in Gayutinsky painting, the peculiarity of which is in cheerful colors and an abundance of dots.
Treat yourself to local specialties – namazenka pie and poshekhonskaya dusheparka - this is a drink based on beer and berries. Game lovers are always welcome at the cozy bases hidden among the forests.
Take your friends gastronomic souvenirs from here – a pastry from the brand "The Baker in Love" and, of course, smoked fish.
They say that Poshekhonye is the birthplace of the Russian joke. The image of the eccentric Poshonians was also supported by Saltykov-Shchedrin, who, by the way, had never been to these places. And in vain, by the way.

what other cities to visit?
«whatever a city, it's a city with a burrow». This proverb vividly reflects the authentic character of the «pearls» of Yaroslavia. And together they are like treasures in a box, which one wants to go through and admire endlessly. Nowhere in Russia is there such a constellation of closely juxtaposed protected and historical towns.
