We'll start our journey by climbing the Orlov Mountain in Rezh.
The best way to get there is to start at the Post Office Street. There is a passage to the river along the territory of the mechanical plant and a pedestrian bridge to the other bank.
The cemetery will begin behind the bridge. Walk across it to the Church of St. John the Baptist. And from the temple you will have a beautiful view of Rezh.

So we came to Irbit. We'll start with the motorcycle museum. It was created in 2004 on the basis of the collection of Irbit motorcycle factory.
In the exposition of the museum you can get acquainted with the history of the plant, with the models of motorcycles that the plant produced and produces. Foreign-made motorcycles occupy a special place in the exposition. You can order a tour of the museum.
The museum is open from 9 to 17, except Sunday and Monday. More information about the museum is available at site.

The museum is very young. It opened in 2011. The basis of the museum was the collection of household items of the end of XIX - first half of XX centuries, collected by its founder.
The museum contains folk art objects, household items, decorative and applied art, icon painting and a huge collection of samovars.
The museum is open daily from 9 to 18. More information about the museum is available at site.

We start our walk around Irbit from the building of the Museum of Folk Life. Get out on Karl Marx street. It is built up with old mansions. Many of them are architectural monuments. And the most surprising thing is that these are residential houses, where ordinary Irbit residents live! A block away, after Ordzhonikidze street, on the right side will be some abandoned houses. These are the ruins of the shops of Irbit brewery. On the left side in the middle of the block will be a remarkable building. Now there is a pension fund. And before the revolution it was a building of female gymnasium. At the intersection, turn left onto Lenin Street. And after a block you'll come to Lenin Square. There is a public garden and monuments to Lenin and Catherine II. Near the post office building is a reconstructed watchtower of Irbit stockaded town with a fragment of paling. It was built in 2011. It stands on the site of an ostrog, founded by settlers in the first half of the XVII century, which later became the town of Irbit. The ostrog was located at the place of Lenin Square. Behind the tower you can see a pedestrian bridge that will lead you to Irbit Park of Culture and Recreation. From Lenin Square go forward along Lenin street. Here at the corner with Krasnoarmeyskaya street stands Irbit Passage. It was planned to place here a theatre, but the building was used as a shopping mall. Inside it now operates many small shops. Turn to Krasnoarmeyskaya street. Here you will meet the building of the former hotel of Irbit Fair, Lar'kov's lodging house and the building of the former shop of the merchants Agafurovs. At the next intersection turn right into Ordzhonikidze Street. Here, in the back of the block, stands the building of the "Rembyttekhnika" enterprise with preserved Soviet signs. Go back to Krasnoarmeyskaya Street. Follow it one more block to Revolution Street. The tour ends with a tour of the Sretensky Cathedral, located in Revolution Street. This is one of the oldest temples in the city. After the cathedral, we'll be greeted by a square with a memorial to the participants of World War II, and we'll return to the car.

Zyazin Mill is located on the 50 Years of October Street. It is notable for its unusual brickwork. And when it was operating, steam equipment was installed on it, which was not typical for that time.
The building is now deserted. Colorite adds a police station across the street.
Not far from here, behind Sovetskaya Street, Victory Square is broken.

For an early dinner in Irbit, you can stop by the cozy family cafe Happiness Eat. It serves delicious grilled meat, pizza, pasta and great cakes.

It's a nice, cozy hotel. Polite staff. Rooms are clean, nice, spacious.
