How to get to Yelabuga

Getting to Yelabuga is quite difficult. The nearest railway station is Naberezhnye Chelny (one train a day, en route 22 hours), from where minibuses and city buses run to Yelabuga

The nearest airport is Begishevo (located near Naberezhnye Chelny), from there by bus to Naberezhnye Chelny or Nizhnekamsk - further by bus or minibus. Also, you can fly to Kazan International Airport, and from there by bus or taxi - to Yelabuga.

It is more convenient to go by bus from Kazan or Izhevsk (on the way 4 hours), where trains from Moscow go more often.

The most romantic and a picturesque way to get to Yelabuga - by boat on the river Kama with a stop under a steep hole near the "Devil's" hillfort. In addition to tourist routes, pleasure boats from Nizhnekamsk, from which along the river to Yelabuga - 15 minutes of a leisurely cruise, come to the Elabuga Marina. In addition, from Chistopol and Kazan go fast ships such as "Meteor", "Rocket". The only drawback is that this type of transport is seasonal.

Entertainment, excursions and sightseeing Yelabuga

Devil's fortress is the only remnants of the ancient city that have survived since the time of the ancient Volga Bulgaria. There are preserved ramparts and moats, but the main attraction of the site is the ruins of the Cathedral Mosque built in the 11th century. The mosque itself survived only at the basement level, but around it were five fortress towers. One of them survived completely - the tower of the Devil's fortress - the most beautiful and memorable place of Elabuga.

There are interesting examples of wooden architecture on the outskirts of a county town. Also among the most memorable buildings of Yelabuga is a wooden fire tower (on a stone foundation). Noteworthy are the churches of Yelabuga, for example, the Cathedral in the Name of the Savior Not Made by Hands, consecrated in 1821.

Map of Yelabuga
Marina Tsvetaeva, one of the most prominent figures in the literature of the Silver Age, was evacuated to Yelabuga in August 1941. In the city, she lived only 11 days and on August 31, unable to withstand life's circumstances, committed suicide. Here is the cultural center of her name.

Ivan Shishkin, landscape painter, on the contrary, was born and spent all his childhood and youth in Yelabuga. The Shishkin Museum includes a house museum, an art gallery and a monument that are located in the most picturesque place of the district Yelabuga - on Naberezhnaya Street. One of the artist's largest collections is represented in the art gallery.

In addition, it is necessary to visit the "façade" of the present city: the Memory Square with a memorial in honor of those killed in the Great Patriotic War and the adjacent Naberezhnaya street. It has a beautiful view of the Kama floodplain and Chertovo fort with a tower on top.

Not far from the city is Ananyinsky burial ground (8-3 centuries BC), which was discovered in 1855 and marked the beginning of the definition of an entire epoch. Collections from the burial ground, which number more than 1500 items, not counting fragments of vessels and beads, are kept in very many museums not only in Russia, but also abroad.
