The historical Yaroslavl-Kostroma Meadow Tract road is one of the oldest land roads in central Russia, known since the XIII century.

This unique 58 km long linear object has an unusual concentration of places associated with outstanding historical figures and the most important events of Russian history.

Endless meadows, old village schools, a haunted castle, and at the same time a modern yacht glamping park and Alice's gardens - all this can be found on the tourist route of the Meadow Tract — a historical path that was revived by Locus Consulting Group in 2020.

The full house "Alexander Opekushin's native places" is located at the entrance to the village of Rybnitsa in the rural settlement of Krasny Profintern, Yaroslavl region.

Places where the route "Meadow tract" takes place in the Nekrasovsky district:

1) A walk through the village of Abbakumtsevo - a story about the birth of the Pushkin and Nabokov nobles, the opportunity to see the Nekrasov parish church, the Annunciation and Sretensky churches, as well as the Nekrasov family necropolis. The school building, built at the expense of the poet N.A. Nekrasov in 1872, is very interesting."
