The length of the route will be 6.3 kilometers, and the duration of the bear trail walk will be about 2.5 hours.

The "bear" route will start at the walls of the Yaroslavl Museum-Reserve and end at the Rotunda building. The tracks will pass by the Church of the Savior on the City, the observation deck on Strelka, the Assumption Cathedral, the first private museum "Music and Time", the building of the river station, the Volkov Theater and other attractions.

The "bear" walking route is not the only option for walking around the historical center. Racks with an audio guide to the iconic sights of Yaroslavl appeared earlier in the UNESCO zone. Together, they allow residents and guests of the capital of the Golden Ring to choose different walking scenarios, thereby diversifying walking trips around the city.
